Prevalence of cardiac abnormalities and heart failure in unselected out-patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and associated clinical factors: Real-world evidence from an Indian registry.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is known to be associated with development of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and heart failure (HF). The study aimed to determine the prevalence of LV dysfunction and HF in unselected out-patients with T2DM with no previous cardiac history and to correlate LV dysfunction and HF with demographic and comorbid characteristics.

Methods

This cross-sectional study conducted at 27 centers in India captured demographic and clinical data through electronic case record forms. B-type natriuretic peptide of >105 pg/mL was used to diagnose HF and two-dimensional echocardiography was used to assess LV dysfunction.

Results

Of the 615 patients, 54.3 % (n = 334) were males; mean age was 57.4 ± 10.48 years. More than one-third of the patient
