What is the relationship between diabetes and heart failure?
There is evidence that diabetes and prediabetes are associated with an increased risk of developing heart failure. Studies have shown that both insulin resistance and high HbA1c levels are associated with an increased risk of developing heart failure. Diabetes is also associated with an increased risk of left ventricular systolic dysfunction, which can lead to chronic heart failure. In addition, diabetes has been linked to a form of cardiomyopathy known as diabetic cardiomyopathy, which can also lead to heart failure. Thus, diabetes and prediabetes have been linked to an increased risk of developing heart failure.
