Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have revolutionized the treatment of cardiometabolic diseases, extending their therapeutic applications far beyond glycemic control in type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity. This editorial synthesizes key milestones, from the discovery of GLP-1 to recent clinical trials highlighting the pleiotropic effects of GLP-1RAs in addressing the interconnected spectrum of cardiometabolic conditions, with a focus on cardiovascular, renal, and hepatic benefits. In addition, as GLP-1RAs continue to reshape the management of cardiometabolic disease and global public health, we discuss future challenges to better elucidate their mechanisms of cardiometabolic protection and maximize their therapeutic potential.
胰高血糖素样肽-1受体激动剂(GLP-1RAs)彻底改变了心脏代谢疾病的治疗方式,其治疗应用范围已远远超出了2型糖尿病(T2D)和肥胖症的血糖控制。这篇社论总结了从GLP-1的发现到近期临床试验的关键里程碑,这些试验突出了GLP-1RAs在解决相互关联的心脏代谢疾病谱方面的多效性作用,重点关注其对心血管、肾脏和肝脏的益处。此外,随着GLP-1RAs继续重塑心脏代谢疾病的管理和全球公共卫生状况,我们讨论了未来的挑战,以更好地阐明其心脏代谢保护机制并最大限度地发挥其治疗潜力。
