Excerpt

The association between diabetes and congestive heart failure and its influence on prognosis are widely known and have been extensively documented.1-3 Patients with diabetes have more extensive coronary artery disease, lower left ventricular ejection fraction, and congestive heart failure than non-diabetic patients. …
