Comorbidity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Cluster analysis of the RICA registry. Opportunities for improvement.
The heterogeneity of patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is high, thusthis entity tends to be grouped into phenotypes to act with precision. Within these groups, patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) hold this heterogeneity. Our aim is to describe subgroups of patients with HFpEF and T2DM based on other comorbidities. ⋯ In our patients with ICFEP and T2DM, obesity and female sex predominated. All four groups offered treatment chances to improve their prognosis not only based on the use of new antidiabetic drugs but also on other options that may be a starting point for further research.
