China: Conservative blood sugar control, and rhythm control of atrial fibrillation (AF), in addition to intensive BP control, are crucial for delaying the progression of heart failure in type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and AF patients, according to a recent study. The study is published in the Internal Medicine Journal.
Atrial fibrillation, hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are risk factors for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). This study by Li Fan, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, People's Republic of China, and colleagues examined the effects of the simultaneous control of all 3 conditions on the new‐onset HFpEF in this population.
