Background And Aims: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogues reduce body fat and cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes. Accumulation of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is associated with increased cardio-metabolic risks and coronary events in type 2 diabetes.

Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed from Glucagon-like peptide-1 analogues therapy on type 2 diabetes patients, reporting data from changes in EAT, after searching the PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Science Direct, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Cochrane databases.

Results: It has been found a limited number of studies, a total of 4 studies (n = 160 patients with GLP-1 analogues therapy) were included in the final analysis. Pooled analysis revealed that GLP-1 analogues reduce EAT (MD: 1.83 mm [-2.50; -1.10]; P < 0.01). Compared with the patients before the treatment, the patients after the treatment had a smaller HbA1c (MD -1.10%[-1.80; -0.30]; p = 0.0143) and body mass index was reduced (MD -2.20 kg/m[-3.70; -0.60]; p = 0.0058), GLP-1 therapy reduced low-density lipoprotein levels (MD-13.53 mg/dL [-21.74; -5.31]; p = 0.001) and reduced triglycerides levels significantly (MD -18.32 -28.20 mg/dL; -8.50); p = 0.0003).

Conclusions: This meta-analysis suggests that the amount of EAT is significantly reduced in T2D patients with Glucagon-like peptide-1 analogues.
