A study in Diabetes Care showed that adults with asymptomatic left ventricular systolic dysfunction and diabetes had higher risks for developing heart failure, HF hospitalization, composite endpoint of HF development or cardiovascular death and mortality from any cause than those without diabetes. UK researchers analyzed data from the Studies of Left Ventricular Dysfunction involving 4,223 patients and also found a higher mortality risk among those who had diabetes but did not develop HF, compared with those without diabetes who did not have HF.
