    Acarbose in the prevention of cardiovascular disease and hypertension in patients with impaired glucose tolerance

    Evidence Summaries

    Level of Evidence = A

     Acarbose is effective in the prevention of cardiovascular events and hypertension in patients with impaired glucose tolerance.

    In an international, multicentre trial 1 , 1429 patients with a mean age of 54.5 years and BMI 30.9 were randomized to receive either acarbose 100 mg 3 times a day or placebo. Decreasing prostprandial hyperglycemia with acarbose was associated with a 2.5% absolute risk reduction and a 49% relative risk reduction in the development of cardiovascular events (HR 0.51, 95% CI 0.28 to 0.95), and a 5.3% absolute risk reduction and 34% relative risk reduction in the incidence of new cases of hypertension (HR 0.66, 95% CI 0.49 to 0.89). The risk reduction was no influenced by adjusting for major risk factors.
