Background: Heart failure (HF) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) are closely related. Diabetic patients have an increased risk of developing HF and those with HF are at higher risk of developing diabetes.
Aims and Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of type 2 DM in patients with HF.
Materials and Methods: This analytical observational type of epidemiological study with case control design was conducted from July 2022 to June 2023 at the inpatient department, Department of General Medicine and Endocrinology of RG Kar Medical College, Kolkata, West Bengal, India. Ninety-two study subjects by purposive sampling method were taken as per inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected based on history, clinical examination, relevant investigations, and review of records.
Results: Study reveals patients who were not under treatment with Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists showed statistically significant occurrence of HF.
Conclusion: Regarding choice of antidiabetic agents these two molecules may have impact on outcome of patient with type 2 diabetes.
