The treatment of the chronic cardiac failure in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in clinical practice
Ethnofactors of chronic cardiac failure (CCF) include type 2 diabetes (D-2). The treatment of patients with diabetes and chronic cardiac failure is very problematic. The aim is to reveal the CCF prevalence rate among D-2 patients in a representative sample of respondents in Orenburg and to assess their treatment. Two groups of D-2 patients were analyzed: the first group consisted of unorganized urban population patients, and the second group consisted of hospital patients. The CCF prevalence rate in patients of the second group (78%) was quite comparable with that in the first group (82%). The analysis of efficiency of CCF treatment in the representative sample has shown that drug treatment was not sufficient from the cardiologist's point of view. CCF complicates D-2 in most patients. The current therapy aimed at the correction of cardiovascular disorders in patients with diabetes and cardiac failure calls for optimization in accordance with national recommendations.
