Association Between Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Heart Failure: A Retrospective Study from a Tertiary Care Diabetes Centre in India.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The study aimed to explore the association between type 2 diabetes (T2D) and heart failure (HF) using echocardiography and NT-proBNP. The study also derived an NT-proBNP cut-off for diagnosing HF by echo in Asian Indians with T2D.

Methods

A retrospective study was performed using data from individuals with T2D, aged ≥ 18 years, who visited diabetes clinics in India between March 2019 and December 2023. NT-proBNP levels were quantified by chemiluminescence, and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was assessed from echo using two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography. Heart failure was classified based on the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was performed to determine the optimal NT-proBNP cut-off for
