Wohlstand, Gesundheit und Gesundheitsausgaben sind eng miteinander verknüpft. Im weltweiten Durchschnitt haben alle drei seit vielen Jahren stetig zugenommen. Im Vergleich hab...en Menschen in Ländern mit höheren Einkommen eine höhere Lebenserwartung. Die höchste Krankheitslast pro Mensch tritt in Ländern mit niedrigem Einkommen auf. Den größten Anteil an der gesamten globalen Krankheitslast haben Länder mit mittlerem Einkommen, in denen rund drei Viertel der Weltbevölkerung lebt. Im Mittel sind die Gesundheitsausgaben in Ländern mit höheren Einkommen insgesamt sowie pro Kopf höher als die Gesundheitsausgaben in Ländern mit niedrigeren Einkommen.

The cardiovascular disease continuum begins with risk factors such as diabetes mellitus (DM), progresses to vasculopathy and myocardial dysfunction, and finally ends with cardiovascular death. Diabetes is associated with a 2- to 4-fold increased risk for heart failure (HF). Moreover, HF patients wit...h DM have a worse prognosis than those without DM. Diabetes can cause myocardial ischemia via micro- and macrovasculopathy and can directly exert deleterious effects on the myocardium. Hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, and insulin resistance can cause alterations in vascular homeostasis. Then, reduced nitric oxide and increased reactive oxygen species levels favor inflammation leading to atherothrombotic progression and myocardial dysfunction. The classification, diagnosis, and treatment of HF for a patient with and without DM remain the same. Until now, drugs targeting neurohumoral and metabolic pathways improved mortality and morbidity in HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Therefore, all HFrEF patients should receive guideline-directed medical therapy. By contrast, drugs modulating neurohumoral activity did not improve survival in HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) patients. Trials investigating whether sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors are effective in HFpEF are on-going. This review will summarize the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and treatment of HF in diabetes.
