Abstract
Purpose of review: Hypertension is the leading modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Despite multiple antihypertensive therapies, blood pressure (BP) control remains suboptimal in many individuals with persistent cardiovascular risk. This review evaluates the antihypertensive potential of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2-i) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA), particularly in patients with comorbid diabetes, HF, CKD or resistant hypertension.
Recent findings: SGLT2-i consistently lower office SBP/DBP (2.5-4.0/1.5-2.0 mmHg) and 24-hour ambulatory BP (3.8/1.8 mmHg). GLP-1RAs show modest SBP reductions (1.8-5.1 mmHg) and minimal DBP effects (~ 0.5 mmHg), though tirzepatide shows greater efficacy (~ 10.6 mmHg) in select populations. Both classes have demonstrated cardio-renal benefits, favorable safety profiles, and reduced polypharmacy. SGLT2-i exert more consistent BP-lowering effects than GLP-1RA, largely due to their diuretic-like action. While not first-line therapies, both drug classes show promise as adjuncts in high-risk populations. Future research should further define their role in comprehensive hypertension management.
期刊介绍:
This journal intends to provide clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts that review the most important, recently published clinical findings related to the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of hypertension.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as antihypertensive therapies, associated metabolic disorders, and therapeutic trials. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
