Abstract
Heart failure is a common and often underappreciated complication of type 2 diabetes. Patients with type 2 diabetes frequently have multiple interconnected comorbidities, including hypertension, chronic kidney disease, and obesity, which can culminate in cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome. Effective management of cardiovascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes requires a comprehensive, coordinated approach to optimize treatment plans and improve overall patient care. Collaborative care models, involving multidisciplinary teams, can significantly improve patient outcomes by enhancing medication adherence, reducing hospitalizations, and preventing the progression of heart failure. This approach provides holistic care to patients and reduces risk from multiple directions. Costs and insurance coverage issues can limit access to collaborative care; however, digital health interventions, virtual collaboration, and community support can help to overcome these barriers for primary care physicians and patients, especially in rural areas. In this podcast series of three episodes, a cardiovascular specialist, an endocrinologist, and a primary care physician will provide practical guidance for primary care physicians on optimal identification and management of heart failure in patients with diabetes. In this, the third episode, we discuss practical approaches for physicians to work collaboratively to improve cardiovascular outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes, leveraging the skills of diabetes care and education specialists, dietitians, advanced practice providers, and others. They highlight the importance of patient education and shared decision-making, alongside therapeutic intervention, in enabling patients to manage their conditions effectively. Podcast available for this article.
期刊介绍：
Diabetes Therapy is an international, peer reviewed, rapid-publication (peer review in 2 weeks, published 3–4 weeks from acceptance) journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of therapeutics and interventions (including devices) across all areas of diabetes. Studies relating to diagnostics and diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health, epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, communications and letters. The journal is read by a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world. Diabetes Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an international and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of all scientifically and ethically sound research.
