Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Heart Failure
A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association and the Heart Failure Society of America, 2019
This statement does not represent an update of the 2017 ACC/AHA/HFSA heart failure guideline update.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a risk factor for incident heart failure and increases the risk of morbidity and mortality in patients with established disease.
Recent clinical trials have demonstrated the:
shared pathophysiology between diabetes mellitus and heart failure
the synergistic effect of managing both conditions
the potential for diabetes mellitus therapies to modulate the risk of heart failure outcomes.
