From the total number of 1551 new diabetics and patients with PGT 85 subjects died in the course of two years. Treatment was changed 118 times, failure of PAD treatment was recorded in 11 type 2 diabetics. Three patients originally classified as type 1 were later included in type 2. In three diabetics (of 14) who had sings of diabetic retinopathy already during manifestation of DM marked deterioration of the finding on the fundus occurred. The incidence of macroangiopathic complications did not change.

Aims: Patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction represent half of the heart failure patients nowadays, an at least steady trend due to the aging of the population. We investigated whether the parameters obtained from cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) correlated with the prognosis of these patients. This prospective observational cohort study assesses the relationship between the CPET parameters peakVO and VE/VCO slope and the number of heart failure hospitalizations or cardiovascular death of these patients.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent cardiac arrhythmia, with ventricular rate control being a critical therapeutic target. However, the optimal range for ventricular rate control remains unclear. Additionally, the relationship between different levels of ventricular rate control and cardiac remodeling in patients with atrial fibrillation remains unclear.

Background: Biologic (b) and targeted synthetic (ts) disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) used in the management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) target inflammatory pathways implicated in the pathogenesis of multiple myeloma (MM). It is unknown whether use of b/tsDMARDs affects the incidence of MM.
Methods: In this cohort study using Veterans Health Administration (VHA) data, we identified Veterans newly diagnosed with RA from 1/1/2002 to 12/31/2018 using diagnostic codes and medication fills.

Nondilated left ventricular cardiomyopathy (NDLVC) is a newly defined category of cardiomyopathy. We sought to evaluate and compare the phenotype of NDLVC with DCM using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging and to investigate the prognostic significance of these conditions. One hundred and fifty patients suspected of having cardiomyopathy referred for CMR were recruited.
