SGLT2-Inhibitors and cardiovascular outcomes : inferences for clinical practice
Journal Title: Journal of the Indian Medical Association - Year 2018, Vol 116, Issue 10
Abstract
Cardiovascular risk is the keyconsideration in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Evolving evidence suggests possible cardiovascular protection with certain agents of the SGLT2 inhibitors (SGLT2-i) class. It is important to understand the meaning of the available evidence, for the clinical practice setting. This review attempts to interpret the finer aspects of the available evidence, for appropriate translation to practice.
