Why the study?
Does diabetes increase the risk of all-cause mortality in patients with acute heart failure and impaired LVEF?
Does diabetes increase the risk of all-cause mortality in patients with acute heart failure and impaired LVEF?
Diabetes significantly amplifies mortality risk in acute heart failure patients with impaired LVEF, such that diabetics with LVEF 30-49% have similar mortality risk to non-diabetics with LVEF <30%.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May warrant closer monitoring of diabetics with mid-range EF in acute HF; extends prior observations but remains hypothesis-generating pending prospective validation.
Go et al. (2014) studied this question.
