New diabetes drugs in heart failure with preserved pumping: key actions and medical importance

Updated

Abstract

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction () is the leading form of heart failure worldwide.

  • Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with an increased risk of developing HFpEF.
  • The combination of HFpEF and DM may further deteriorate cardiovascular health and accelerate diabetes progression.
  • Novel antidiabetic drugs, including sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA), and dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors (DPP4i), have shown cardiovascular benefits in Type 2 diabetes patients with HFpEF.
  • The specific roles and mechanisms of these antidiabetic drugs in treating diabetic HFpEF are not fully understood.
  • A comprehensive understanding of diabetic HFpEF could provide new insights into its treatment.
