Doctors have long known about a link between diabetes and an increased risk of heart failure, but a new paper suggests the link is significantly stronger in women than in men.
Type 1 diabetes was associated with a 47% increased risk of heart failure in women compared with men, and type 2 diabetes was associated with a 9% increased risk, according to the paper, published in the journal Diabetologia on Thursday. The reason for the difference in risk between type 1 and type 2 remains unclear.
Dealing with diabetes 03:34The new paper reviewed 14 previously published studies that focused on the association between diabetes and heart failure risk. Those studies were published between January 1966 and November 2018.After reviewing and analyzing the data in those studies -- which included 12 million people and 253,260 cases of heart failure -- the researchers noticed that both type 1 and type 2 diabetes were stronger risk factors for heart failure in women than in men.
"The bigger question is, why does this occur?" Abel said."Their study doesn't answer that question as to why women are at greater risk of heart failure in diabetes, but I do think that the implication of this -- certainly for women and also for people who take care of diabetic women -- is that they should really have a low index of suspicion for at least asking patients about symptoms that could be consistent with heart failure," he said.
