The prevalence of cardiovascular disease and antidiabetes treatment characteristics among a large type 2 diabetes population in the United States

Abstract

These real-world data showed a high prevalence of ASCVD among T2DM patients, and confirmed, as a baseline assessment, low use of GLP-1RAs and SGLT-2is in these at-risk patients prior to the 2017 American Diabetes Association guidelines recommending use of agents with proven cardiovascular benefits.
