Impact of chronic GLP-1 RA and SGLT-2I therapy on in-hospital outcome of diabetic patients with acute myocardial infarction

Cardiovasc DiabetolPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

Chronic therapy with GLP-1 RA and/or SGLT-2i has a favorable impact on the clinical outcome of DM patients hospitalized with AMI.

Study context

Population
Patients hospitalized with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in Lombardy, 2010–2019 (mean age 71 ± 13 years, 34% females, 47% STEMI; 26% with diabetes mellitus (DM))matched
Participants
3,090 patients
Exposure

  • Non-DMn = 1,030reference
  • DM with GLP-1 RA/SGLT-2in = 1,030
  • DM without GLP-1 RA/SGLT-2in = 1,030
