Introduction: Diabetes is observed in about third of patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), and it is not well elucidated how it would affect the clinical conditions of HFpEF. We investigated the physical and echocardiographic characteristics of diabetes patients in a large-scale, registration study of HFpEF. Methods: We analyzed clinical and echocardiography data obtained at admission and just before hospital discharge in the PURSUIT-HFpEF (Prospective, Multicenter, Observational Study of Patients with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction), which is a multicenter registration study of patients who were hospitalized for HFpEF. Results: We enrolled 862 patients who were hospitalized for HFpEF between June, 2016 and December, 2019 (Age 81±9 years, male gender 44.5%) for the present study. Diabetes was observed in 287 patients (33.3%), and their age was higher (82±8 years vs. 80±9 years, p=0.003) and body mass index before discharge was larger (23.2±4.7 kg/m2 vs. 21.1±4.6 kg/m2, p<0.0001) than those without diabetes. Diabetic patients had higher body weight at admission (63.2±14.9 kg vs. 55.9±13.4 kg, p<0.0001) and before discharge (56.8±13.3 vs. 50.7±12.1 kg, p<0.0001) than non-diabetic patients. Reduction of body weight during hospital stay was higher in diabetic patients (6.4±4.5 kg) than in non-diabetic patients (5.2±4.0 kg) even after correction of body weight discharge or estimated GFR (p<0.001 by ANCOVA). Body weight reduction was significantly associated with HbA1c (p=0.01). There was no difference in use of intravenous diuretics (69.3% vs. 66.6%, p=0.44) and in hospital stay (21.4±15.3 days vs. 19.9±13.7 days, p=0.14) between diabetic- and non-diabetic patients. Whereas no differences were observed in echocardiographic parameters at admission and before discharge between two arms, the diabetic arm showed significantly higher reduction in septal E/e’ ratio during hospital stay (19.0±8.7 to 17.1±7.6) than non-diabetic arm (16.6±8.3 to 16.4±8.2)(p=0.01 by repeated measure ANOVA). Conclusions: The present study implied that diabetic patients with HFpEF have more fluid retention before hospitalization than non-diabetic ones, which could affect the changes in diastolic pressure.

Objectives: The objective of the study is to identify the precipitating factorsamong the patients presenting with AHF (Acute Heart Failure). Study Design: Cross sectionalstudy. Setting: Punjab Institute of Cardiology, Lahore. Duration of Study: 6 months. From01-01-2007 to 30-06-2007. Methodology: The calculated sample size was 170 cases with 5%margin of error, 95% confidence level taking expected percentage of uncontrolled hypertensioni.e. 12% (least percentage among all precipitating factors). Results: In the study group, mostlypatients of AHF were young with mean age of 55 + 6.99 years, male (61.8%), Diabetic (53.5%)and have history of chronic Heart Failure (63.5%). In male the most common precipitating factorof AHF was ACS (39.04%) while in female uncontrolled hypertension (38.46%). Conclusion:In diabetic patients the most common precipitating factor of AHF was ACS (30.7%). In patientswith acute decompensation of chronic heart failure the most common precipitating factor wasnon-compliance of medication (30.55%) while in patients with de novo Acute Heart Failure itwas ACS (41.93%). ACS was the common precipitating factor of Acute Heart Failure (28.2%)among the study group irrespective of gender, diabetes and history of Heart Failure.

Aim. A study of the clinical and instrumental characteristics and quality of treatment of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) with diabetes mellitus. Materials and methods. The 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. Results. The 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. Conclusion.Under 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.
