Complementary mechanisms of action of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs). HHF, hospitalization for heart failure; MACE, major adverse cardiovascular events. SGLT2is improve insulin secretion without increasing insulin levels. The black dotted line indicates that there is insufficient clinical evidence to support the beneficial effects of GLP-1RAs on renal impairment [87]
