Abstract

ALVAREZ-RODRIGUEZ, Esther; POVAR ECHEVARRIA, Marina  and  MARTIN SANCHEZ, F. Javier. Recommendations and management of non-insulin hypoglycemic agents in patients with heart failure or cardiovascular events. CorSalud [online]. 2019, vol.11, n.2, pp. 153-160. ISSN 2078-7170.

Both diabetes mellitus and heart failure often go hand in hand. The results of recent studies on decreased mortality, heart failure hospitalization and the occurrence of cardiovascular events, which have shown certain non-insulin hypoglycemic agents, have brought about changes in the diabetes treatment recommendations. The classic goal of diabetes treatment, focused on reducing glycated hemoglobin to reduce microvascular damage, although still important, may have faded into the background, since we have drugs that could also reduce macrovascular damage.
