123I-meta-iodobenzylguanidine in patients with chronic heart failure: technical aspects, conceptual issues, and future prospects.

Impact of diabetes mellitus on long-term survival in patients with congestive heart failure.

AIMS To test the hypothesis that diabetic status may be used as a prognostic indicator in heart failure (HF) patients. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 1246 consecutive patients with left ventricular dysfunction. All patients had a cardiopulmonary exercise test and an echocardiogram. Cardiac catheterisation was systematically performed to define HF aetiology. Twenty-two percent of the patients ...
