Heart failure risk in diabetics can now be predicted by machine learning derived score

The study was also presented at the Heart Failure Society of America Annual Scientific Meeting in Philadelphia. Type 2 diabetes is a global epidemic that is expected to affect over 592 million people globally by 2035, a dramatic increased from 382 million people with diabetes mellitus in 2013, a prevalence that is likely to be underestimated. Type 2 diabetes patients are at more than double the risk of developing heart failure resulting in disability or death among such patients. Earlier this month, late-breaking trial results revealed that a new class of medications known as SGLT2 inhibitors may be helpful for patients with heart failure. These therapies may also be used in patients with diabetes to prevent heart failure from occurring in the first place.
