In his lecture, professor Komajda pointed out that one third of patients involved in clinical trials for heart failure suffer from diabetes mellitus. Registry data also confirm an increased incidence of heart failure in diabetic patients. The underlying causes are, among others, sedentary lifestyle and the disorder of the neurohormonal system.<\/p>\n\n\n
