摘要: The incretin-based therapies, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogs, are important new classes of therapy for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). These agents prolong the action incretin hormones, GLP-1 glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), by inhibiting their breakdown. hormones improve glycemic control in T2DM increasing insulin secretion suppressing glucagon levels. cardiovascular (CV) effects therapies have been substantial interest since 2008, when US Food Drug Administration began to require that all undergo rigorous assessment CV safety through large-scale outcome trials. This article reviews most recent trials DPP-4 (SAVOR-TIMI 53, EXAMINE, TECOS) as evidence acceptable profiles patients with T2DM. studies differ regard patient population, trial duration, heart failure outcomes but show similar findings death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, stroke, well hospitalization unstable angina.
