Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a heterogeneous syndrome with various underlying factors. Diabetes in HFpEF patients is associated with worse prognosis, and intensive glycemic control (HbA1C < 7%) in diabetic patients may lead to poorer outcomes. Phenotypic differences between diabetic and non-diabetic HFpEF patients include younger age, higher obesity, and lower prevalence of atrial fibrillation in diabetic patients.
Background Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a heterogeneous syndrome, with several underlying etiologic and pathophysiologic factors. The presence of diabetes might identify an important phenotype, with implications for therapeutic strategies. While diabetes is associated with worse prognosis in HFpEF, the prognostic impact of glycemic control is yet unknown. Hence, we investigated phenotypic differences between diabetic and non-diabetic HFpEF patients (pts), and the prognostic impact of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C). Methods We prospectively enrolled 183 pts with HFpEF (78 +/- 9 years, 38% men), including 70 (38%) diabetics (type 2 diabetes only). They underwent 2D echocardiography (n = 183), cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) (n = 150), and were followed for a combined outcome of all-cause mortality and first HF hospitalization. The prognostic impact of diabetes and glycemic control were determined with Cox proportional hazard models, and illustrated by adjusted Kaplan Meier curves. Results Diabetic HFpEF pts were younger (76 +/- 9 vs 80 +/- 8 years, p = 0.002), more obese (BMI 31 +/- 6 vs 27 +/- 6 kg/m(2), p = 0.001) and suffered more frequently from sleep apnea (18% vs 7%, p = 0.032). Atrial fibrillation, however, was more frequent in non-diabetic pts (69% vs 53%, p = 0.028). Although no echocardiographic difference could be detected, CMR analysis revealed a trend towards higher LV mass (66 +/- 18 vs 71 +/- 14 g/m(2), p = 0.07) and higher levels of fibrosis (53% vs 36% of patients had ECV by T1 mapping > 33%, p = 0.05) in diabetic patients. Over 25 +/- 12 months, 111 HFpEF pts (63%) reached the combined outcome (24 deaths and 87 HF hospitalizations). Diabetes was a significant predictor of mortality and hospitalization for heart failure (HR: 1.72 [1.1-2.6], p = 0.011, adjusted for age, BMI, NYHA class and renal function). In diabetic patients, lower levels of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C < 7%) were associated with worse prognosis (HR: 2.07 [1.1-4.0], p = 0.028 adjusted for age, BMI, hemoglobin and NT-proBNP levels). Conclusion Our study highlights phenotypic features characterizing diabetic patients with HFpEF. Notably, they are younger and more obese than their non-diabetic counterpart, but suffer less from atrial fibrillation. Although diabetes is a predictor of poor outcome in HFpEF, intensive glycemic control (HbA1C < 7%) in diabetic patients is associated with worse prognosis.
