Incretin-based therapies are effective glucose-lowering drugs that have an increasing role in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, due to their efficacy, safety, and ease of use. Both glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1Ra) and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4i) are commonly used for glycemic control as an adjunct to metformin, other oral antiglycemic agents, or insulin. GLP-1Ra may have additional effects, such as weight loss, that may be advantageous in obese patients. There is a large body of evidence from randomized controlled clinical trials supporting the cardiovascular safety of DPP-4i and some GLP-1Ra, at least in the short term. However, concerns have been raised, particularly regarding their safety in patients with heart failure. In this review, we have provided a brief, but practical evidence-based analysis of the use of incretin-based agents in patients with diabetes, their efficacy, and cardiovascular safety.
