Study: Diabetics At Higher Risk Of Heart Failure

Besides all the other health complications associated with diabetes, scientists now believe diabetics are at increased risk for heart failure.

UPI reports Mayo Clinic researchers say the risk for heart failure was nearly twice as high in diabetics compared with healthy controls.

In fact, about one-third of all Americans admitted to the hospital for heart failure also have diabetes.

Diabetes mellitus alone is an independent risk factor for the development of heart failure.
