Abstract

Diabetes is an independent predictor of morbidity and mortality in SOLVD patients with symptomatic heart failure, asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction (defined as an ejection fraction of ≤35%), and in a broader Registry population with less stringent entry criteria. It remains a significant predictor of outcome even after adjusting for treatment with enalapril.
