Heart Failure in Diabetes Mellitus: the Pathogenesis and Treatment

People with diabetes mellitus are more likely to develop heart failure, and those with both conditions often experience a worse prognosis compared to heart failure patients without diabetes. This paper will summarize the pathogenesis of diabetic heart failure and propose treatment and prevention options for diabetic patients with heart failure based on the existing literature and data results. Both types of diabetes lead to high blood sugar levels, which, along with diabetes itself, exert different effects on the heart. As time goes on, it causes heart failure. The outcome demonstrates how chronically elevated blood sugar levels can lead to inflammation and accelerate the development of heart failure. Significant roles are also played by oxidative damage, insulin resistance, and other variables. It has been demonstrated that altering one's lifestyle can avoid diabetic heart failure and improve the quality of life for individuals with asymptomatic diastolic dysfunction and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
