Glucagon-like Peptide 1 Receptor Agonists and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients With Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract

Transplant recipients with diabetes who used GLP1-RAs had lower risks for MACE and all-cause mortality. These results may profoundly implicate the daily management of posttransplant recipients with diabetes, a population with a high prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors and cardiovascular death. Transplant patients are usually excluded from randomized controlled trials and, hence might be undertreated with disease-modifying drugs. Larger prospective studies are needed in this unique population.
