[Chronic heart failure in patients with type-2 diabetes]
Abstract:
Combination of diabetes and chronic heart failure is a frequently occurring syndrome. We studied interrelationship between state of carbohydrate metabolism, diabetic nephropathy and level of natriuretic peptide in patients with type 2 diabetes and concomitant chronic heart failure. The study confirmed high diagnostic value of natriuretic peptide as quantitative criterion of the presence of heart failure and revealed association of decompensation of carbohydrate metabolism and presence of diabetic nephropathy with more severe heart failure and left ventricular dysfunction. Among patients with renal failure those with more severe heart failure had low values of glycosylated hemoglobin.
