SUMMARY
Diabetes mellitus is a high prevalence pathology in developed countries, for which in recent years numerous drugs with novel mechanisms of action have been marketed. We present the case of a diabetic patient, on treatment with dapagliflozin until their hospital admission, who is diagnosed of heart failure without clinical signs. The diuretic effect associated with the natriuretic mechanism of action of dapagliflozin leads to an atypical presentation of heart failure in which no congestion or edema are observed.
Key Words: Dapagliflozin, antidiabetic, cardiopathy.
