Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogues are an injectable therapy used in the management of type 2 diabetes. These drugs seem to reduce cardiovascular risk factors and clinical trial data seems to suggest that liraglutide and semaglutide reduce cardiovascular risk in patients with type 2 diabetes and concomitant atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The search for agents such as these (and SGLT2 inhibitors) that not only manage diabetes but also reduce cardiovascular risk has resulted in a paradigm shift in the way diabetes can be managed.

SUMMARY The pharmacological therapy for type 2 diabetes mellitus has presented important advances in recent years, which has impacted the treatment of patients with established cardiovascular disease or with high cardiovascular risk. In this scenario, two drug classes have emerged and demonstrated clear clinical benefits: SGLT-2 inhibitors and GLP-1 agonists. The present review discusses the pharmacology, adverse effects, and clinical trials that have demonstrated the benefits of these medications in reducing cardiovascular risk.
