Sažetak
Glucagon-lik epeptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists are increasingly used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM), but their long-term cardiovascular safety is not yet confirmed. In the present study, we assessed effects of liraglutide on systolic blood pressure(SBP), diastolic blood pressure(DBP)and HR in overweight T2DM. The results of our study suggest that therapy with GLP-1 receptor agonist liraglutide may significantly reduce SBP and DBP by 6 to 10 mmHg and may offer an alternative therapy for hypertension in overweight T2DM. In addition, in our study therapy with liraglutide was associated with a small decrease in HR.
