Among older adults with early stage—also known as preclinical—heart failure, uncontrolled diabetes can substantially increase the risk of heart failure progression, according to a new Johns Hopkins-led study. Researchers found that controlling diabetes early in the heart failure process has immense potential to significantly prevent the progression to later stage, or overt, heart failure.
