Abstract
Diabetes is a very important comorbidity in patients with heart failure. When both diseases coexist cardiovascular morbidity and mortality is greatly increased. Therefore, it is of clinical importance to treat both diseases as early as possible with an optimal therapy.Hitherto, heart failure therapy did not differ if a patient had concomitant diabetes. However, with SGLT-2 inhibitors having demonstrated to reduce hospitalization of heart failure independent of diabetes state and expected to be included into the ESC heart failure treatment guidelines in 2021 coexisting diabetes potentially will make a difference when to start therapy.In this article we provide an overview of current recommendations and also provide clinical considerations for the therapy of heart failure with concomitant diabetes.
