Como es habitual, contó con la presencia de más de 30.000 profesionales y destacados invitados. Se presentaron actualizaciones de varias guías de práctica clínica e importantes trabajos científicos que sin duda impactarán en el tratamiento de los pacientes con patología cardiovascular. A continuación realizaremos un breve resumen de algunos de los trabajos presentados: - A trial to evaluate the effect of the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor dapagliflozin in patients with heart failure and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction: DAPA-HF - Complete revascularization with multivessel PCI for myocardial infarction: the COMPLETE Trial - Angiotensin-neprylysin inhibition in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: the PARAGON-HF - Antithrombotic therapy for atrial fibrillation with stable coronary disease: the AFIRE Investigators - Ticagrelor or prasugrel in patients with acute coronary syndromes: the ISAR-REACT 5 Trial
Summary: The European Congress of Cardiology is one of the most relevant events of the world cardiology community. It was held from August 31 to September 4 in the heart of Paris, France, the central theme being global cardiovascular health. As usual, it was attended by more than 30,000 professionals and prominent guests. Updates of several clinical practice guides and important scientific papers were presented. These undoubtedly will impact in the treatment of patients with cardiovascular pathology. Below we present a brief summary of some of the trials presented: - A trial to evaluate the effect of the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor dapagliflozin in patients with heart failure and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction: DAPA-HF - Complete revascularization with multivessel PCI for myocardial infarction: the COMPLETE Trial - Angiotensin-neprylysin inhibition in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: the PARAGON-HF - Antithrombotic therapy for atrial fibrillation with stable coronary disease: the AFIRE Investigators - Ticagrelor or prasugrel in patients with acute coronary syndromes: the ISAR-REACT 5 Trial

ABSTRACT
Los inhibidores del cotransportador sodio-glucosa tipo 2 son un grupo de fármacos que se utilizan en tratamiento de la diabetes tipo 2. Un efecto adverso que pueden producir es la cetoacidosis diabética euglucémica, una entidad clínica que se debe conocer para realizar el adecuado diagnóstico y tratamiento, suspendiendo la administración de dichos fármacos.
Inhibitors of sodium-glucose cotransporter type 2 are a group of drugs used in treatment of type 2 diabetes. Euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis is an adverse effect that may occur and a clinical entity that should be known for proper diagnosis and treatment, suspending the administration of this medication.

Introducción: la dapagliflozina es un inhibidor del cotransportador sodio-glucosa tipo 2, un nuevo grupo de fármacos que disminuyen la glucemia, con bajo riesgo de hipoglucemia y con discreta pérdida de peso. Objetivo: describir algunos aspectos de interés sobre el uso de la dapagliflozina en el tratamiento de los pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo 2, para lo cual, se realizó una revisión de varios artículos publicados sobre el tema, a través de algunas bases de datos y de los buscadores habituales (PubMed, Cochrane, Google, y otros), teniendo en cuenta su calidad y actualidad, según criterio de los autores. Desarrollo: la dapagliflozina es administrada por vía oral, e inhibe la reabsorción de glucosa en el túbulo proximal renal y aumenta la excreción urinaria de glucosa (efecto glucosúrico). Se utiliza a una dosis de 10 mg diarios, sola o asociada a otros medicamentos normo o hipoglucemiantes. En ambos casos es capaz de disminuir los niveles de la hemoglobina glucosilada. Su efectividad es similar a las sulfonilureas. Los efectos adversos más frecuentes se relacionan con un incremento de las infecciones genitourinarias, cetoacidosis con glucemias no tan elevadas, y cáncer. Conclusiones: la dapagliflozina es efectiva en reducir los niveles de la hemoglobina glucosilada, el peso corporal y de la presión arterial en pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo 2, sobre todo, cuando se adiciona a otros medicamentos como la metformina. Su uso debe ser considerado como un tratamiento coadyuvante, aunque su indicación se debe individualizar, debido a su costo y sus posibles efectos adversos(AU)
Introduction: dapagliflozin is a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor, a new group of pharmaceuticals that reduce glycemia, with low risk of hypoglycemia and modest loss of weight. Objective: to describe some aspects of interest on the use of dapagliflozin in the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus for which several articles published on this topic were reviewed through some databases and the regular searchers (PubMed, Cochrane, Google and others), taking into account their quality and topicality, according to the authors' criteria. Development: dapagliflozin is orally administered and inhibits the re-absorption of glucose in the renal proximal tubule and increases the urinary glucose excretion (glycosuric effect). The dose is 10 mg daily, single or combined with other normoglycemic and hypoglycemic drugs. In both cases, it is able to diminish the levels of glycosylate hemoglobin. The effectiveness of this new drug is similar to that of the sulfonylureas. The most frequent effects are related to increase in genitourinary infections, ketoacidosis with not so high glycemia values and cancer. Conclusions: dapagliflozin is effective for the reduction of levels of glycosylate hemoglobin, body weight and blood pressure in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, mainly when added to other drugs like metformin. It should be considered as a coadjuvant treatment, although it should be prescribed on an individual footing due to its cost and possible adverse effects(AU)
