In coronary artery disease patients, those with a history of myocardial infarction (MI) had more retinal ischemic perivascular lesions (RIPLs) compared to those without (59.3% vs. 35.7%).

- A systematic review & a real-world meta-analysis of 13 studies showed that SGLT2i + GLP-1RA reduced all-cause mortality (OR:0.49, p<0.00001) vs. monotherapy in T2DM patients
- The combination significantly improved BMI (-1.71), SBP (-6.35 mmHg), HbA1c (-1.48%) & FPG (-2.27)
- The combination suggests potential for earlier intervention & improved CV, renal, & glycemic outcomes in T2DM patients
