Current guidelines recommend that these conditions be treated as usual, even when they coexist. However, there have been concerns over COPD exacerbation risk with β-blockers and attenuation of the beneficial effects of β<sub>2</sub>-agonists in this comorbid population, leading to β-blocker underuse. Recent evidence suggests that β-blockers, particularly cardioselective β-blockers, do not increase COPD exacerbations, demonstrate good efficacy and safety, and improve survival in patients with COPD after first-time myocardial infarction. In atrial fibrillation with COPD, both cardioselective and nonselective β-blockers may be associated with a lower COPD exacerbation risk than calcium channel blockers, as well as improving outcomes and reducing mortality risk. In this review, we summarize the β-blocker prescribing patterns in patients with CVD and COPD; describe the reasons for β-blocker underuse in patients with CVD with COPD; collate up-to-date evidence on the effects of β-blockers on symptoms and outcomes in each of these comorbid populations; and review the current treatment guidelines for coexisting COPD and CVD to support the rational prescribing of β-blockers. Finally, we provide recommendations for future research needed to demonstrate the clinical rationale of prescribing β-blockers and to encourage the generation of more robust evidence-based guidelines for β-blockers use. Future large-scale, prospective, randomized controlled trials are needed to expand the body of evidence and better understand the effects of β-blockers in CVD with comorbid COPD.</p>","PeriodicalId":7652,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Cardiovascular Drugs","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143966899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, we conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to investigate the effects of GLP-1 RAs on cardiovascular outcomes in patients with obesity without diabetes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;We systematically searched PubMed, Web of Science, SCOPUS, and Cochrane databases through December 26, 2023. We pooled dichotomous data using risk ratios (RRs) and continuous data using mean differences with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). We evaluated the quality of each study using the Cochrane RoB2 method, and the study protocol was registered on PROSPERO ID: CRD42024498538.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;We included 19 RCTs with a total of 32,884 patients. Of these, 15 had a low overall risk of bias, two raised concerns, and two had a high risk of bias. There was no difference between GLP-1 RAs and placebo regarding cardiovascular mortality (RR 0.85; 95% CI 0.71-1.01; p = 0.07). However, compared with placebo, GLP-1 RAs significantly decreased the incidence of all-cause mortality (RR 0.82; 95% CI 0.72-0.93; p &lt; 0.0001), non-cardiovascular mortality (RR 0.77; 95% CI 0.63-0.95; p = 0.01), and myocardial infarction (RR 0.73; 95% CI 0.62-0.86; p &lt; 0.0001). Additionally, patients receiving GLP-1 RAs experienced significant overall weight loss (- 8.53 kg; 95% CI - 12.38 to - 4.68; p &lt; 0.0001) and improvements in lipid profiles, including lower levels of total cholesterol (- 0.77 %; 95% CI - 1.03 to - 0.50; p &lt; 0.0001), triglycerides (- 6.78 %; 95% CI - 8.11 to - 5.46; p &lt; 0.0001), low-density lipoproteins (- 2.85 %; 95% CI - 3.74 to - 1.96; p &lt; 0.0001), and very low-density lipoproteins (- 4.47 %; 95% CI - 5.56 to - 3.38; p &lt; 0.0001). GLP-1 RAs also significantly increased the incidence of any adverse events (RR 1.11; 95% CI 1.05-1.16; p &lt; 0.0001), with no difference regarding the incidence of serious adverse events. However, gastrointestinal adverse events were significantly more frequent in patients receiving GLP-1 RAs, with a higher risk of any gastrointestinal adverse events (RR 2.83; 95% CI 1.86-4.3; p &lt; 0.001), nausea (RR 2.70; 95% CI 2.18-3.33; p &lt; 0.001), diarrhea (RR 1.97; 95% CI 1.68-2.31; p &lt; 0.001), vomiting (RR 3.85; 95% CI 3.32-4.48; p &lt; 0.001), and constipation (RR 2.35; 95% CI 1.94-2.85; p &lt; 0.001) than in those receiving placebo.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;In obese patients without diabetes, GLP-1 RAs demonstrated substantial benefits in reducing cardiovascular risks, including all-cause mortality and myocardial infarction, and effectively promoted weight loss and improved lipid profiles and blood pressure control.

Monotherapy with more potent antiplatelets such as ticagrelor is both a safe and an equally effective strategy to circumvent major bleeding episodes in patients at high bleeding risk while guarding against ischemic events. Although these results were not replicated with low-dose prasugrel monotherapy in the STOP-DAPT-3 trial, the other major trials investigating ticagrelor monotherapy (GLOBAL-LEADERS and TWILIGHT-ACS) suggested the feasibility and appropriateness of abbreviating the dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) as early as 1-3 months of the index procedure. Moreover, the recent data from TICO, T-PASS, and now the ULTIMATE-DAPT trial, hint toward early switchover to ticagrelor monotherapy without any undue concern of increased ischemic events. However, on closer examination, we find that study cohorts in most trials had lower anatomical complexity of coronary lesions and most adopted imaging-based revascularization strategies. Among these trials, those that achieved convincing levels of safety in ischemic endpoints mainly administered ticagrelor monotherapy. Can monotherapy with these newer antiplatelets sufficiently obviate the need for year-long DAPT? Can such antiplatelet monotherapy remain effective in all coronary artery disease subsets? Can we start patients solely on a single antiplatelet from day one of the procedure? These are some of the questions we attempt to answer by revisiting the results from these trials.</p>","PeriodicalId":7652,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Cardiovascular Drugs","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143584328","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
