Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors versus sulfonylureas on the top of metformin in patients with diabetes and acute myocardial infarction
CARDIOVASCULAR DIAGNOSIS AND THERAPY(2024)
Abstract
Background: Recent trials have shown that both the extent of glycated hemoglobin reduction and the duration of enhanced glycemic control are major factors that may affect cardiovascular outcome results. We aimed to investigate the impact of metformin (MET) combined with dipeptidyl peptidase -4 (DPP4) inhibitors or sulfonylureas (SU) on long-term clinical outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods: This study was a prospective cohort trial. From November 2011 to December 2015, a total of 13,104 AMI patients were consecutively enrolled from the Korea AMI registry -National Institutes of Health. The patients were divided into the MET + DPP4 inhibitors group and the MET + SU group. The primary endpoint, major adverse cardiac events (MACE), was defined as the composite of all -cause death, recurrent myocardial infarction (MI), and any repeat revascularization up to 3 -year follow-up. To adjust baseline potential confounders, an inverse probability weighting (IPTW) analysis was performed. Results: Baseline well -matched two groups were generated (the MET + DPP4 inhibitors group, n=468 and the MET + SU group, n=468). During 3 -year clinical follow-up, the cumulative incidence of MACE between the two groups was not significantly different after adjustment (16.8% for MET + DPP4 inhibitors group vs. 19.4% for MET + SU group, P=0.302). However, the MET + DPP4 inhibitors group was associated with reduced risk of MI [1.3% vs. 4.9%; hazard ratio (HR): 0.228, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.090-0.580, P=0.001] than the MET + SU group. Conclusions: In patients with AMI and type 2 DM, the use of MET combined with DPP4 inhibitors was associated with reduced incidence of recurrent MI than MET combined with SU during 3 -year follow-up.
