Drug interactions have been studied by different group of researchers, in which they have used a
number of living organisms like humans and animals to reduce or inhibit risk of side effect of drug
disease interaction and enhance action of drugs.
The present study was aimed to investigate the link of cardiovascular disease (CVD) including
atherosclerotic CVD (AsCVD), into patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) that use sodium-glucose
co-transporter-2 inhibitors(SGLT2is) or glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) as
well as to provide more information about the incidence of CVD in T2D patients. The current study
included 422 patients with T2D have diagnosed in Erbil, Kurdistan, Iraq, during their attended to
secondary care facilities. T2D patients were with the median age 66 years and median diabetes
duration 13.3 years. Our results observed that the percentage of AsCVD was 27.2% of all cases of
CVD. The coronary heart disease recorded the highest percentage (20.8%) followed by carotid
artery disease (12.1%).
