Heart failure & cardiomyopathies
Prediabetes, Subclinical Myocardial Injury or Stress, and Heart Failure Risk for Adults With Hypertension
Authors' conclusion
These findings suggest that among adults with hypertension, prediabetes in combination with subclinical myocardial injury or stress is associated with a significantly elevated risk for HF.
Study context
- Population
- Adults with hypertension without DM or prior heart failure (HF) (SPRINT)122 developed HF
- Participants
- 8,234 adults
- Comparison
- Joint categories of prediabetes and subclinical myocardial injury or stress vs normoglycemia without biomarker elevation
- Primary endpoint
- Adjudicated incident HF
- Follow-up
- Median 3.2 years
Methodological detailsprospective cohort
- Prospective cohort
