Abstract

In addition to the effects on glycemic control and body weight, GLP-1 receptor agonists may favorably affect other major cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, although currently available data are still sparse. In this retrospective study, we evaluated the effects of 12-month treatment with liraglutide on major CVD risk factors in 115 type 2 diabetes outpatients (60 men and 55 women), on stable hypoglycemic, anti-hypertensive and/or lipid-lowering therapy.
