GLP-1 RAs vs SGLT2 inhibitors: What are the comparative risks of ischaemic stroke and incident AF?
A population-based retrospective study of Hong Kong patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) finds that use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) is associated with a lower risk of ischaemic stroke, while use of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors is associated with a lower risk of atrial fibrillation (AF).
