Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a progressive chronic disease and is an established risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Until recently, the cardiovascular safety and efficacy of antihyperglycemic drugs remained uncertain. However, after the changes in regulatory guidance in 2008, a wealth of data has been generated, expanding the focus of the treatment of diabetes from blood glucose control to the prevention of macro-and microvascular complications and improvement in mortality. This article will review cardiovascular outcome trials of antihyperglycemic agents and provide overview of ongoing trials.
