Key result
Microalbuminuria in patients with type 2 diabetes significantly increased the risk of developing heart failure compared to patients without microalbuminuria (22% vs 6%).

Does microalbuminuria predict the development of heart failure in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus?
Microalbuminuria is an independent predictor of incident heart failure in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes.
May support enhanced HF surveillance in elderly T2DM; leaves open whether interventions targeting microalbuminuria reduce incident HF.
Introduction:The study evaluated of microalbuminuria as a predictor of heart failure in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2.Materials and methods:The prospective study conducted in a period of time from 01-Feb-2007 to 01-Feb-2010.The study included 100 patients with type 2 diabetes, who had diabetes longer than 5 years. All subjects (average age 66 ± 10 years, 33% male, 67% female) were tested for the presence of microalbuminuria, and 50 patients had microalbuminuria. The second group comprised 50 patients without of microalbuminuria with diabetes mellitus type 2.Results:In the patients with microalbuminuria and diabetes mellitus were found 22% of heart failure and 6% in the second group. Average time to the occurance of heart failure in the first group was 32,5 months, in the second group was 35,3 months.Conclusions:The results show that microalbuminuria is an independent risk factor for heart failure in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 and microalbuminuria. Patients without microalbuminuria had 3,7 less likely to development heart failure compared to patients with microalbuminuria and diabetes mellitus.

Karić et al. (2020) conducted a cohort in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (n=100). Microalbuminuria vs. Without microalbuminuria was evaluated on Occurrence of heart failure (HR 0.27, 95% CI 0.11-0.90, p=0.02). Microalbuminuria in patients with type 2 diabetes significantly increased the risk of developing heart failure compared to patients without microalbuminuria (22% vs 6%).
