#:~:text=Results: Prevalence rates of diagnosed,44.9%) of HF patients.
Our results suggest that the gut microbiota is imbalanced and its metabolite PAGln levels are increased in stroke patients with T2D, and T2D potentially aggravates stroke injury via an inflammatory response, which is associated with gut microbiota and its metabolite PAGln modulation.

• Conclusion/Relevance: “Prevalence rates of T2DM and prediabetes among community-dwelling HF patients in the U.S. remained high between 2005 and 2016. Prevention of and targeted intervention for T2DM among at-risk HF patients is needed, particularly among those of Hispanic origin.”
• Researchers included 527 participants with HF in this cross-sectional study. Participant data were mined from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2005-2016.
• The researchers found that more than 85% of American adults with HF exhibited hyperglycemia, with 1 of 10 adults with HF also having undiagnosed T2DM. In other results, 3 of 10 American adults with HF also had comorbid diabetes.
