Key result
Ischaemic heart disease and diabetes were associated with a high prevalence of definite systolic dysfunction (22.1% for prior MI, 8.1% for angina, 5.8% for diabetes) versus hypertension (1.8%).

High rates of systolic dysfunction and heart failure are present in patients with ischemic heart disease or diabetes, supporting the potential utility of targeted echocardiographic screening in these high-risk groups.
Russell Davis (2002) conducted a cross-sectional in Risk factors for heart failure (n=1,062). Ischaemic heart disease or diabetes vs. Uncomplicated hypertension was evaluated on Prevalence of systolic dysfunction and heart failure. Ischaemic heart disease and diabetes were associated with a high prevalence of definite systolic dysfunction (22.1% for prior MI, 8.1% for angina, 5.8% for diabetes) versus hypertension (1.8%).
