Diabetic Cardiomyopathy

Type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients are at increased risk of cardiomyopathy and heart failure is a major cause of death for these patients. Cardiomyopathy in diabetes is associated with a cluster of features including decreased diastolic compliance, interstitial fibrosis and myocyte hypertrophy. Life expectancy with congestive heart failure varies depending on the severity of the condition, genetics, age, and other factors.
