Our study just published in @JAHA_AHA: young-onset type 2 diabetes has 6×⬆️risk of heart failure. Key figure: the earlier T2D is diagnosed, the higher the HF risk. We need to better prevent HF in T2D - especially in young adults. @BEchouffo @ICESOntario ahajrnls.org/3Ssj4ay

Canadian study finds younger age at T2D diagnosis is associated with higher risk for HF hospitalization. The higher risk remains after adjusting for hypertension, coronary artery disease, and chronic kidney disease. #AHAJournals @BEchouffo ahajrnls.org/3Ssj4ay
