Keywords:
type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular risk, empagliflozinAbstract
In the current Consensus Statement a discussion of the extremely topical issue of treating patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular pathology is presented. The reason for this discussion was the emergence of a new glucose-lowering drug, SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin, and its inclusion in foreign and Russian recommendations for management of patients with diabetes mellitus. This drug is considered as first-line when type 2 diabetes mellitus is combined with ischemic heart disease and/or circulatory insufficiency. A special focus in the current Consensus Statement is on the EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial.
