Leaves open unrecognized HF prevalence and diagnostics in older T2D; protocol sets up needed prospective primary care data.
Winter et al. (2009) conducted an observational in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Unrecognized Heart Failure (n=600). Diagnostic strategy for heart failure (clinical score, NT-proBNP, ECG, echocardiography) was evaluated on Prevalence of previously unrecognised heart failure and diagnostic value of various tests. This paper is a study protocol for a prospective diagnostic efficiency study to assess the prevalence of unrecognized heart failure in older patients with type 2 diabetes, and contains no results.
