Impact of diabetes and sex in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction patients from the ASIAN ‐HF registry

ConclusionsAsian women with HFrEF were more likely to have DM despite a lean body mass index, a greater burden of chronic kidney disease and more concentric left ventricular geometry, compared to men. Furthermore, DM confers worse quality of life, irrespective of sex, and a greater risk of adverse outcomes in women than men. These data underscore the need for sex ‐specific approaches to diabetes in patients with HF.
