Abstract
ZUGASTI, Ana et al. Malnutrition management of hospitalized patients with diabetes/hyperglycemia and heart failure. Nutr. Hosp. [online]. 2022, vol.39, n.spe4, pp.23-30. Epub Feb 06, 2023. ISSN 1699-5198. https://dx.doi.org/10.20960/nh.04508.
Heart failure (HF) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among older people, making it a major public health problem. Cardiovascular diseases in general, and HF in particular, are common comorbidities in people with type 2 diabetes (DM2). The concurrence of DM2 and HF is associated with more severe clinical symptoms and signs, and poorer quality of life and prognosis. Furthermore, due to the hypercatabolic state and nutrient absorption disorders, malnutrition is present in many HF cases. This article describes the results of the expert consensus and the responses of the panelists on the nutritional management in routine clinical practice of patients with diabetes/hyperglycemia hospitalized (non-critically ill) with HF.
