Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus is always associated with both microvascular and macrovascular complications. Cardiovascular and renal complications are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in these populations. Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors are a new class of antidiabetic drugs. These drugs have shown promising cardiovascular and renal protective mechanisms and resulted in decreased mortality and hospitalization. The benefits of these drugs are expected to expand to non-diabetic patients and provide improved cardiovascular and renal outcomes. In this brief review, we outline the potential cardiorenal benefits of these drugs and their future implication to improve glycemic, cardiovascular, and renal outcomes.
