AimA study of the clinical and instrumental characteristics and quality of treatment of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) with diabetes mellitus.Materials And MethodsThe study was conducted by using the CHF register method, which is a computer program with remote access, which allows on-line data collection on patients who have been examined and treated in primary care and in hospitals. The study included 8272 patients with CHF IIIV FC (functional class) (New York Heart Association NYHA); among them 62% of patients were treated in hospital.ResultsThe study showed that the frequency of diabetes was 21%. The main causes of CHF in diabetic patients are coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction (in anamnesis) and hypertension. These patients are more often diagnosed with III and IV CHF FC according to (NYHA) and retained LV (left ventricular) ejection fraction. The reduced ejection fraction was observed in 6.8% of cases, and the frequency of the intermediate LV was significantly higher than among patients with CHF and with diabetes and accounted for 18.9%. At patients with CHF with diabetes in comparison with patients with CHF without diabetes, atherosclerosis of the peripheral arteries, stroke (in anamnesis) and chronic kidney disease of stage III and IV were significantly more common.ConclusionUnder the treatment, patients with CHF with diabetes have higher levels of SBP (systolic blood pressure), lipids and glucose in the blood plasma, indicating a lack of quality of treatment and, accordingly, the doctors are not optimally performing the clinical guidelines on treating this category of patients.
