Key Words: diabetes mellitus • heart failure • cardiovascular diseases


*    Introduction
 
Diabetes mellitus (type 2 diabetes) is as much a disease of modern lifestyle as it is a disease of genetic predisposition. Worldwide, there are about 143 million patients with diabetes, almost 5 times more than estimates of 10 years ago.1,2 Heart disease, often presenting as cardiomyopathy, is the leading cause of death among patients with diabetes mellitus (Figure 1). 3 Like diabetes, the prevalence of heart failure also continues to rise in Western countries.4 Diabetes, in turn, is the largest comorbidity of patients with heart failure and adversely affects outcomes of cardiovascular disease.5 The trend is unmistakable; both insulin resistance and heart failure have emerged as major worldwide epidemics. It is therefore timely to take a fresh look at the effects of diabetes on the heart.

The difficulties in making a causal connection between diabetes and heart failure are formidable. Some simple definitions remain elusive. For example, the distinction between the insulin-deficient (type 1) and insulin-resistant (type 2) forms of diabetes on the one hand, and the distinction between systolic and diastolic dysfunction as causes of heart failure, on the other hand, are hard to define. The known trophic and hemodynamic effects of insulin . . . [Full Text of this Article]
