ABSTRACT
Más allá del control de la glucemia existen otros objetivos importantes a la hora de brindar atención integral a pacientes con diabetes mellitus. Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica con el objetivo de identificar el papel que desempeñan los nuevos fármacos antidiabéticos en la prevención cardiovascular y la insuficiencia cardiaca. El uso de SGLT2i y GLP-1a acarrea una disminución significativa de eventos cardiovasculares, sin diferencias entre ambos, exceptuando las hospitalizaciones por insuficiencia cardiaca, en donde es evidente la superioridad de estos últimos (en especial dapaglifozina y empaglifozina). La evidencia actual respecto al efecto de los DPP-4i es diversa, aunque se observa un aumento del riesgo de hospitalizaciones por insuficiencia cardiaca con el consumo de algunos fármacos de esta clase (saxagliptina).(AU)
Beyond glucemic control there are other important goals when it comes to providing integral care to patients with diabetes mellitus. A bibliographic review was made in order to identify the role played by new antidiabetic drugs in cardiovascular prevention and heart failure. The use of SLGT2i and GLP1a leads to a significant decrease in cardiovascular events, with no difference between the two, except when it comes to hospitalizations for heart failure, where the superiority of the last ones (especially dapaglifozin and empaglifozin) is evident. The current evidence regarding the effect of dpp-4i is diverse, although an increased risk of hospitalizations for heart failure is observed with the use of some drugs of this class (saxagliptin).(AU)

Beyond glucemic control there are other important goals when it comes to providing integral care to patients with diabetes mellitus. A bibliographic review was made in order to identify the role played by new antidiabetic drugs in cardiovascular prevention and heart failure.
