Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is frequent in patients with heart failure (HF) and correlated with an increased morbidity and mortality. The features and outcomes of patients with and without T2DM, depending on the HF type (HF with preserved: HFpEF, mid-range: HFmrEF; and reduced ejection fraction: HFrEF), are inefficiently explored. Aim: To explore the impact of T2DM on clinical features and one-year overall mortality in patients with HFrEF, HFmrEF and HFpEF. Material and methods: A prospective, observational study was conducted, including patients with HF at the Department of Cardiology, Clinical Center of Serbia, Belgrade. The enrolment occurred between November 2018 and January 2019. The study outcome was one-year all-cause mortality. Results: Study included 242 patients (mean-age, 71 ± 13 years, men 57%). T2DM was present in 31% of patients. The proportion of T2DM was similar amid patients with HFrEF, HFmrEF, and HFpEF. Regardless of the HF type, patients with T2DM were probably older and had a higher prevalence of myocardial infarction, other types of coronary disorder or peripheral arterial disorder (all p < 0.001). Also, chronic kidney disease was more prevalent in T2DM (p < 0.001). In HFpEF, T2DM patients were commonly female, and usually had hypertension and atrial fibrillation (all p < 0.001). Estimated one-year total mortality rates were significantly higher in T2DM patients. It also emerged as a unique predictor of higher mortality in HFrEF (HR; 1.33; 95% CI; 1.34 - 2.00), HFmrEF (HR; 1.13; 95% CI; 1.0 - 1.24) and HFpEF (HR; 1.21; 95% CI; 1.09 - 1.56), all p < 0.05. Conclusion: Compared with non-diabetics, patients with HF and T2DM are older, with higher prevalence of comorbidities and greater one-year mortality, regardless of HF type. Heart failure is a unique predictor of mortality in all HF types in multivariate analysis. Considering the increased risk, T2DM requires meticulous screening/diagnosis and contemporary treatment to improve outcomes.

Dapagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor used in the management of Type 2 diabetes mellitus, has been recently approved for the control of worsening cardiovascular events, including deaths and hospitalizations, in adults with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Previously, canagliflozin had a label change with regards to its additional usage in the reduction of risk of hospitalization for heart failure in patients with both Type 2 diabetes mellitus and diabetic nephropathy with albuminuria. On the other hand, the therapeutic application of empagliflozin and ertugliflozin in heart failure is yet to be delineated comprehensively. The beneficial effects of these SGLT2 inhibitors, dapagliflozin in particular, in heart failure are found to be independent of neither the glucose-lowering nor the SGLT2 inhibiting effects.
