Key result
Type 2 diabetes in 121 patients with heart failure was associated with significant cardiac alterations, and poor glycemic control resulted in worse cardiovascular outcomes.
Why the study?
The coexistence of type 2 diabetes and heart failure has obvious consequences during cardiovascular diagnosis, motivating evaluation of their clinical and echocardiographic relationship.
Does the presence of type 2 diabetes and poor glycemic control worsen clinical and echocardiographic characteristics in patients with heart failure?
Case-Control (n=121)
Does the presence of type 2 diabetes and poor glycemic control worsen clinical and echocardiographic characteristics in patients with heart failure?
The presence and poor glycemic control of type 2 diabetes in heart failure patients are associated with worse echocardiographic parameters and more severe clinical heart failure.
Objective: The coexistence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and heart failure (HF) has obvious consequences during cardiovascular diagnosis. This study evaluated the relationship between T2D and clinical and echocardiographic features of patients with HF. Methods & results: 121 patients with HF were clinically evaluated by echocardiography in this case-control study. They were divided into two groups based on the presence of T2D. Patients with diabetes were subdivided and compared via an HbA1c control. Significant differences between T2D and non-T2D groups were detected by comparing the left atrial diameter, E/E’ and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter. When comparing patients with diabetes, differences in acute heart failure episodes, left ventricular ejection fraction, left atrial diameter and E/E' were evaluated. Conclusion: T2D was associated with important cardiac alterations and more severe HF. Poor control of diabetes resulted in worse cardiovascular outcomes.

Jordhani et al. (2022) conducted a case-control in Heart Failure and Type 2 Diabetes (n=121). Type 2 Diabetes vs. Non-Type 2 Diabetes was evaluated on Clinical and echocardiographic features (left atrial diameter, E/E', left ventricular end-diastolic diameter). Type 2 diabetes in 121 patients with heart failure was associated with significant cardiac alterations, and poor glycemic control resulted in worse cardiovascular outcomes.
