Diabetes-related differences in body composition and their prognostic value among patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction: a cardiac-MRI-based study.
Heart failure patients show distinct body composition patterns linked to diabetes, enabling better risk prediction and tailored care.
A cardiac MRI study found that body composition patterns differ meaningfully between heart failure patients with and without diabetes. These composition differences independently predicted clinical outcomes, suggesting targeted risk stratification approaches.
