Atherosclerotic plaque formation is a leading cause of arterial thrombosis that significantly impacts global health by instigating major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) like myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke. Platelets are central to this process, leading to the development of antiplatelet therapies, to mitigate MACE risks. The combination of aspirin with a potent P2Y inhibitor known as dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is the standard for post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) aimed at reducing ischemic events.

- The study investigates how common left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and heart failure (HF) are in outpatient individuals with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who have no previous heart issues.
- Conducted across 27 medical centers in India, the research analyzed data from 615 patients, revealing that over half showed some form of LV dysfunction and a smaller percentage had HF.
- The findings suggest a significant link between T2DM, longer disease duration, and demographic factors like age, highlighting the need for early detection and management strategies for patients with T2DM to prevent heart-related complications.
