Abstract :
[en] Heart failure is raising an increasing interest in patients with type 2 diabetes. Indeed, they combine different risk factors for this complication and they have time to develop it because they survive longer due to a better prevention of atherothrombotic cardiovascular events. Beyond the classical therapy of heart failure, management should select the most suited glucose-lowering agents. Indeed, all do not have the same impact as some of them have proven their ability to reduce the risk of hospitalisation for heart failure whereas others are associated with an increased risk, either well proven or at least suspected. The aim of this clinical case is to discuss the use of glucose-lowering drugs in a patient with type 2 diabetes with or at risk to develop heart failure.
