Abstract
Background: Emerging data on cardiovascular outcomes, specifically major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), are being reported from various trials involving incretin mimetics, such as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), especially among patients with obesity and diabetes. Our aim was to evaluate this matter, while also involving various traditional cardiovascular risk factors [e.g., several body weight (BW) parameters, blood pressure (BP), lipid profile].
Methods: A search of PubMed, Europe PMC, ScienceDirect, Cochrane, and ClinicalTrials.gov up to September 2024 was performed to identify GLP-1 RA and GIP trials in MACE risk reduction as a primary endpoint. Our secondary endpoints included a reduction in BW, waist circumference (WC), body mass index (BMI), BP changes, and lipid modifying effects, while also yielding safety concerns surrounding the use of these pharmaceutical agents. Mean differences (MD) and risk ratios (RR) were summarized using random-effects model.
Results: A total of 11 eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comprising 8 GLP-1 RA trials and 3 dual GLP-1 RA/GIP (tirzepatide) trials were included. Compared with control groups, GLP-1 RA significantly reduced the MACE risk by 32% [RR 0.68 (95% CI 0.53-0.87); P = 0.002; I2 = 73%, P-heterogeneity < 0.001] and 59% for tirzepatide [RR 0.41 (95% CI 0.18-0.92); P = 0.03; I2 = 0%, P-heterogeneity = 0.96]. Incretin mimetics also substantially reduced BW, BP, and improved lipid panel measures. However, there was an increased risk of adverse events, specifically gastrointestinal disorders within the incretin mimetics subset.
Conclusions: Incretin mimetics have shown promise in reducing MACE risk while also enhancing cardiovascular risk factors, including blood pressure and lipid profile, in adults with obesity without diabetes.
期刊介绍:
Promoting rational therapy within the discipline of cardiology, the American Journal of Cardiovascular Drugs covers all aspects of the treatment of cardiovascular disorders, particularly the place in therapy of newer and established agents.
Via a program of reviews and original clinical research articles, the journal addresses major issues relating to treatment of these disorders, including the pharmacology, efficacy and adverse effects of the major classes of drugs; information on newly developed drugs and drug classes; the therapeutic implications of latest research into the aetiology of cardiovascular disorders; and the practical management of specific clinical situations.
The American Journal of Cardiovascular Drugs offers a range of additional enhanced features designed to increase the visibility, readership and educational value of the journal’s content. Each article is accompanied by a Key Points summary, giving a time-efficient overview of the content to a wide readership. Articles may be accompanied by plain language summaries to assist patients, caregivers and others in understanding important medical advances. The journal also provides the option to include various other types of enhanced features including slide sets, videos and animations. All enhanced features are peer reviewed to the same high standard as the article itself. Peer review is conducted using Editorial Manager®, supported by a database of international experts. This database is shared with other Adis journals.
