We can suggest that hypoglycemia and extreme hyperglycemia should be avoided in acute ischemic heart conditions. Certain diabetic treatment options, especially sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, can reduce overall cardiovascular mortality and hospitalization due to heart failure. Therefore, we suggest that physicians should choose SGLT2 inhibitors as the first-line treatment option in diabetic patients with heart failure or those who have a high risk of heart failure development. T2DM increases the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF), and metformin and pioglitazone seem to reduce the risk of AF in diabetic population.
