What is the effect of Metformin on mortality in patients with diabetes and heart failure?
Studies have shown that Metformin is associated with a low risk of mortality in diabetic patients with heart failure. In a retrospective nationwide cohort study, Metformin treatment was associated with a decrease in mortality in these patients. In another study, it was found that Metformin therapy improves left ventricular function and survival in heart failure patients. Furthermore, Metformin use has also been linked to a decrease in mortality among patients with diabetes and atherothrombosis. Overall, the evidence suggests that Metformin has a positive effect on mortality in patients with diabetes and heart failure.
