thus liraglutide and oral semaglutide significantly reduced cardiovascular death, subcutaneous semaglutide and dulaglutide significantly reduced nonfatal stroke, albiglutide reduced the risk of nonfatal myocardial infarction, and epfeglenatide reduced the incidence of heart failure, while weekly exenatide or lixisenatide showed no significant benefit on any component of MACE
