PG - 419-429 LID - 10.1007/s40256-020-00397-y [doi] AB - Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Because of these associated risks, managing diabetes and CVD, including heart failure (HF), has become a joint effort to reduce the risk of adverse outcomes. Although many patients with T2DM are receiving preventive therapies for CVD, their residual risk remains high for atherosclerotic CVD (ASCVD). Recent data regarding the use of antidiabetic medications to prevent negative cardiovascular outcomes has revealed a positive association with reduced major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). One class of medications, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors, are at the forefront of the cardiovascular outcomes prevention discussion. The clinical data presented in this review indicate the potential cardiovascular benefits of SGLT-2 inhibitors in patients with CVD and its potential value as a treatment option in preventing CVD in various patient populations.
