Diabetic microvascular complications predicts non-heart failure with reduced ejection fraction in type 2 diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

The relationship between diabetic microvascular complications and the incidence of two types of heart failure-heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) (left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF] < 40%) and non-HFrEF (LVEF ≥ 40%)-in patients without prior heart failure has not been clarified. We herein examined the association between diabetic microvascular complications and HFrEF or non-HFrEF in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) without prior heart failure.

Methods and results

In this retrospective cohort study, we assessed the relationship between the presence of diabetic microvascular complications or severity of diabetic retinopathy (no apparent, non-proliferative and proliferative retinopathy) and nephropathy (normoalbuminuria, microalbuminuri
