Key clinical point: Sodium-glucose contransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have different effects on cardiovascular and kidney disease outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Major finding: SGLT2 inhibitors significantly reduced hospitalization from heart failure. Reduction in risk of kidney disease progression was driven by microalbuminuria with GLP-1 RAs and by estimated glomerular filtration rate with SGLT2 inhibitors.

Study details: A systematic review and meta-analysis of eight cardiovascular outcomes trials that included 77,242 patients.
