Updated

Abstract

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors improve cardiovascular, kidney, and metabolic outcomes.

  • Access to glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors is not equitable across different populations.

  • An Equity-First Framework is proposed to address these disparities and promote pharmacoequity in cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic care.
