Aims: GLP-1RA reduce cardiovascular risk in patients with T2D and established ASCVD and are recommended in guidelines. We evaluated the RWE of GLP-1RA therapy on cardiovascular outcomes in patients with T2D after MI or ischemic stroke and examined trends and disparities. Methods: Using nationwide Czech registry data (2015-2024), we identified patients with incident nonfatal MI or ischemic stroke and confirmed T2D. GLP-1RA users-initiating therapy within 12 months post-event-were propensity score-matched to non-users. The primary outcome was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE: nonfatal MI, nonfatal stroke, cardiovascular death); secondary outcomes included individual components and all-cause mortality. Results: GLP-1RA therapy was initiated in only ∼2% of MI and stroke survivors with T2D. Among 126,845 MI survivors, 28,206 had T2D; the matched cohort comprised 2,271 patients (401 GLP-1RA; median follow-up 35 months). GLP-1RA use was associated with lower risk of MACE (HR:0.7; 95%CI:0.52-0.93), all-cause (HR:0.61;95%CI:0.47-0.80) and cardiovascular death (HR:0.54, 95%CI:0.36-0.80). Among 177,115 stroke survivors, 73,750 had T2D; the matched cohort comprised 2,235 patients (385 GLP-1RA; median follow-up 27 months). GLP-1RA use was associated with lower risk of MACE (HR:0.71; 95%CI:0.54-0.94), all-cause (HR:0.59;95%CI:0.46-0.76) and cardiovascular death (HR:0.55; 95%CI:0.37-0.81). Conclusions: GLP-1RA therapy after MI or stroke in T2D was associated with substantially lower risks of MACE, cardiovascular and all-cause death in real-world practice. Utilization remained low, particularly among women and older adults, underscoring the need for broader and more equitable implementation in secondary prevention.
