BACKGROUND: Although the use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) in patients with obesity and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has demonstrated improvement in cardiovascular outcomes, the incremental benefits of GLP-1 RA for patients already on sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) remain underexplored. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to assess the incremental benefits of GLP-1 RA in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, overweight/obesity, and HFpEF receiving SGLT2i therapy. METHODS: The authors conducted a retrospective cohort study using the TriNetX research database including patients ≥18 years with type 2 diabetes mellitus, body mass index ≥27 kg/m, and HFpEF on SGLT2i. Two cohorts were created based on GLP-1 RA prescription. The outcomes were heart failure exacerbation, all-cause emergency department visits/hospitalizations among others over a 12-month period. RESULTS: A total of 7,044 patients remained in each cohort after propensity score matching. There was a significantly lower risk of heart failure exacerbations, all-cause emergency department visits/hospitalizations, new-onset atrial arrhythmias, new-onset acute kidney injury, and pulmonary hypertension in the GLP-1 RA plus SGLT2i cohort compared with the SGLT2i-only cohort. The associated benefits persisted across different body mass indexes and ejection fractions as well as in patients with elevated natriuretic peptide. The risk of diabetic retinopathy was higher in the combination therapy group than with SGLT2i-only use. CONCLUSIONS: GLP-1 RA, in addition to SGLT2i, was associated with a significantly lower risk of heart failure hospitalizations in this patient population, suggesting a potential incremental benefit. This highlights the need for prospective studies to confirm the clinical benefits.
背景:尽管胰高血糖素样肽-1 受体激动剂(GLP-1RA)在肥胖和射血分数保留型心力衰竭(HFpEF)患者中的应用已显示出改善心血管结局的效果,但 GLP-1RA 对已经接受钠-葡萄糖共转运蛋白 2 抑制剂(SGLT2i)治疗的患者的额外获益仍未得到充分探索。
目的:本研究旨在评估 GLP-1RA 在接受 SGLT2i 治疗的 2 型糖尿病、超重/肥胖和 HFpEF 患者中的额外获益。
方法:作者使用 TriNetX 研究数据库进行了一项回顾性队列研究,该研究纳入了年龄≥18 岁、有 2 型糖尿病、体重指数≥27kg/m2 和 HFpEF 的患者,这些患者正在接受 SGLT2i 治疗。根据 GLP-1RA 处方创建了两个队列。主要终点是 12 个月内心力衰竭恶化、全因急诊就诊/住院等。
结果:在倾向评分匹配后,每个队列中仍有 7044 例患者。与 SGLT2i 单药组相比,GLP-1RA+SGLT2i 组心力衰竭恶化、全因急诊就诊/住院、新发房性心律失常、新发急性肾损伤和肺动脉高压的风险显著降低。这种相关性在不同的体重指数和射血分数以及存在升高的利钠肽的患者中仍然存在。与 SGLT2i 单药组相比,联合治疗组糖尿病视网膜病变的风险更高。
结论:除 SGLT2i 外,GLP-1RA 还与该患者人群中心力衰竭住院风险的显著降低相关,这提示可能存在额外获益。这突显了需要开展前瞻性研究以确认其临床获益。
