Incidence and prognosis of heart failure in persons with type 2 diabetes compared with individuals without diabetes - a nation-wide study from Finland in 1996-2012.

CONCLUSIONS: Individuals aged <75 years with T2DM had a considerably higher incidence of HF than individuals without diabetes. The prognosis of HF was worse in individuals with T2DM than in individuals without diabetes. However, the gap between the groups had narrowed over time. Key messages The incidence of heart failure is 2-3 times higher among patients under 75 years of age with type 2 diabetes than among individuals without diabetes. The prognosis of heart failure patients is worse among patients with type 2 diabetes than it is among patients without diabetes although it is improving.
