RESUMO
The Biomarkers for the Diagnosis of Heart Failure in Diabetes webinar was hosted by Diabetes Technology Society on September 20, 2023, with the objective to review current evidence and management practices of biomarker screening for heart failure in people with diabetes. The webinar discussed (1) the four stages of heart failure, (2) diabetes and heart failure, (3) natriuretic peptide and troponin for diagnosing heart failure in diabetes, (4) emerging composite and investigational biomarkers for diagnosing heart failure, and (5) prevention of heart failure progression. Experts in heart failure from the fields of clinical chemistry, cardiology, and diabetology presented data about the importance of screening for heart failure as an often-unnoticed complication of people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
