Key Points

  • To examine the relationship between glucose abnormalities and heart failure in a population-based setting.
  • Utilized data from the Reykjavik Study population.

Structured PICO

Are glucose abnormalities associated with heart failure in a population-based cohort?

P
Population
Participants in the Population-Based Reykjavik Study
I
Intervention
Glucose abnormalities (any form of glucometabolic perturbation)
O
Outcome
Heart failurehard clinical

Any form of glucometabolic perturbation, not just diagnosed diabetes, is strongly associated with heart failure.

Abstract

There is a strong association between any form of glucometabolic perturbation and heart failure. Future studies in this field should focus on all types of glucose abnormalities rather than previously diagnosed diabetes only.
