Abstract:
Individuals with diabetes mellitus are at 2- to 3-fold increased risk of cardiovascular disease relative to individuals without diabetes, and hypoglycemia is associated with increased cardiovascular mortality in diabetic patients. Here, we present a discussion of multiple hypoglycemic drugs and their cardiovascular effects. In addition, we provide summary recommendations for glucose-lowering regimens in patients with diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
