Cardiovascular disease (CVD), as one of the diseases with the highest morbidity and mortality rates globally, has always been a focus of medical research. In recent years, with a deeper understanding of the pathogenesis of CVD, novel metabolic drugs have demonstrated great potential in its treatment. These novel drugs regulate multiple aspects of cardiovascular metabolism, including reducing blood glucose and lipid levels, inhibiting inflammatory responses, and protecting vascular endothelial cells, thereby providing new strategies for the prevention and treatment of CVD. In terms of lowering blood glucose levels, SGLT2 inhibitors, GLP-1 receptor agonists, DPP-4 inhibitors, and Metformin, as clinically commonly used drugs, have been proven to be beneficial for the prevention and treatment of CVD, regardless of the presence or absence of diabetes. For lipid regulation, PCSK9 inhibitors and Ezetimibe, as newly developed lipid-lowering drugs, not only reduce serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels but also directly protect the cardiovascular system from damage. The development and application of these drugs have not only improved the treatment outcomes of CVD but also provided patients with more therapeutic options.
