Management of Patients with Heart Failure and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Abstract
The management of patients with cardiometabolic diseases is particularly complex and involves professionals from various disciplines. Cardiologists and diabetologists, the coordinators of this process, should cooperate in the implementation of a joint treatment and care plan. Based on these premises, a group formed by cardiologists from the Regional Association of Ambulatory Cardiologists (ARCA) and diabetologists from the Association of Diabetologists (AMD), operating in Campania, was set up to define the critical points and create shared diagnostic and therapeutic processes. We review the current evidence and gather the opinions of the group concerning the identification of patients at higher risk of diabetes and/or heart failure and the management of patients with known diagnosis of diabetes mellitus and heart failure.
