SGLT2 Inhibitors: Emerging Roles in the Protection Against Cardiovascular and Kidney Disease Among Diabetic Patients.

By Amir Safavi | October 28, 2020 |

Link: https://doi.org/10.2147/IJNRD.S268811 Authors: Vasquez-Rios, George; Nadkarni, Girish N Abstract: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a prevalent disease with the severe clinical implications including myocardial infarction, stroke, and kidney disease. Therapies focusing on glycemic control in T2DM such as biguanides, sulfonylureas, thiazolidinediones, and insulin-based regimens have largely failed to substantially improve cardiovascular and kidney outcomes.…
