Heart Failure and Diabetes: Clinical significance and epidemiology of this two-way association - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36949650/
People with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and those with pre-diabetes have an increased risk of heart failure (HF). Longer duration of T2DM correlates with a greater risk of HF, but...
Conclusions/Relevance: Most recently the SGLT-2 receptor blockers have shown efficacy in both HFrEF and HFpEF. The only other oral or injectable diabetes agent shown to improve outcomes in both is metformin.

Galectin-3 and HFpEF: Clarifying an Emerging Relationship
Source : https://www.eurekaselect.com/article/130278
Introduction: HFpEF is a leading cause of death whose burden is projected to increase in the coming decades. The aim of this paper is to interrogate the relationship between levels...
Conclusion: Given the paucity of effective therapeutics for HFpEF, galectin-3 shows promise as a possible HFpEF-linked biomarker that may, with further study, inform and predict treatment course to reduce morbidity and mortality.

The Efficacy of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter-2 Inhibitors in Improving Morbidity and Mortality of Heart Failure: A Systematic Review
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) worldwide. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) were initially developed for treating patients with type...
Conclusions/Relevance: The participants included in this study had various basal metabolic indices, ages, glomerular filtration rates, and diabetic status characteristics. Although these patients were quite different, after the administration of SGLT2i, the studies showed a beneficial effect in reducing CVD mortality and morbidity in patients...

Impact of left bundle branch block on heart failure with preserved ejection fraction - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36932820/
In patients admitted with decompensated heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, left bundle branch block is associated with increased odds of cardiac arrest, mechanical circulatory support requirement, device implantation and...
Conclusion: In patients admitted with decompensated heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, left bundle branch block is associated with increased odds of cardiac arrest, mechanical circulatory support requirement, device implantation and mean cost of hospitalization but decreased odds of in-hospital mortality.
