Are GLP-1 receptor agonists, SGLT-2 inhibitors, or DPP-4 inhibitors safe and effective at reducing cardiovascular mortality, all-cause mortality, and other cardiovascular outcomes (e.g., myocardial infarction, stroke, hospitalization from heart failure) in people with cardiovascular disease regardless of whether they have diabetes?
