Abstract

In recent years increased number of patients in whom coexist type 2 diabetes and chronic heart failure. This coexistence has a very negative impact on the patients’ prognosis and requires from doctors careful planning of therapy, which takes into account the patient’s condition, including the presence of other diseases. Particular attention should be paid to the presence or absence of chronic kidney disease. This disease affects the dosage and effect of many drugs. An important aspect of therapy is the increased risk of hypoglycemia. It should also be remembered that the goals of therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic heart failure are slightly different than in the general population. ESC recommended type 2 diabetes therapy for patients with at increased risk of developing heart failure is a new group of hypoglycemic drugs that inhibit SGLT-2 (empagliflozin, canagliflozin, dapagliflozin). This group reduce the frequency of hospitalization due to heart failure by 32–35%. In patients with already existing failure and diabetes, the treatment methods do not differ from those used in the non-type 2 diabetes population.
