Heart failure & cardiomyopathies
Racial Differences in Diabetic Cardiomyopathy: The ARISE-HF Trial
Authors' conclusion
Racial and ethnic differences exist in baseline characteristics of persons affected by DbCM, with Black and Hispanic study participants demonstrating higher risk features.
Study context
- Population
- Persons with diabetic cardiomyopathy (T2DM, structural heart disease, impaired exercise capacity)
- Participants
- 691 persons
- Comparison
- Baseline characteristics by race and ethnicity
Primary result
As reported in the abstract
baseline
- Black and Hispanic patients had lower use of DM treatments
- Black patients had poorer baseline ventricular function and more impaired global longitudinal strain
- Black patients had poorer health status, more reduced physical activity and greater impairment in exercise capacity on cardiopulmonary exercise testing vs entire cohort
- Hispanic patients also displayed compromised cardiopulmonary exercise testing functional capacity
- White patients demonstrated higher physical activity and functional capacity
Further findings
Baseline characteristics, whole cohort
- Mean age
- 67.4 years
- Women
- 50%
