Abstract
- 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. RESUMO A terapia farmacológica do diabetes mellitus tipo 2 apresentou avanços importantes nos últimos anos, impactando principalmente o tratamento dos pacientes com doença cardiovascular estabelecida ou com alto risco cardiovascular. Nesse cenário, surgiram duas classes de fármacos com claros benefícios clínicos; os inibidores da SGLT-2 e os agonistas do GLP-1. Na presente revisão os autores discutem desde a farmacologia, efeitos adversos e também os estudos clínicos que demonstraram os benefícios dessas medicações na redução de risco cardiovascular.
