What are the prognostic effects of diabetes mellitus on patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction?
Studies have shown that diabetes mellitus is a predictor of morbidity and mortality in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction. It has been associated with a higher risk of heart failure, and poor glycemic control has been linked to a higher risk of heart failure in patients with diabetes. Additionally, higher HbA1c levels have been correlated with an increased risk of heart failure in patients with diabetes. These findings suggest that diabetes mellitus is an important prognostic factor for patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction.
