Anders Holt, ESC 2022: Risk of heart failure due to NSAID usage in diabetes, a Danish cohort study
Type 2 diabetes has been linked with subclinical cardiomyopathy and kidney function decline, therefore short-term non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use could potentially lead to the development of heart failure (HF) due to aberrations in fluid balances. In this touchCARDIO interview, we speak with Dr Anders Holt (Herlev and Gentofte Hospital, Copenhagen University Hospital, Hellerup, Denmark) to discuss the purpose and outcomes of a cohort study to assess associations between short-term NSAID use and the risk of HF in Danish cohort of patients with type 2 diabetes.Â
The abstract entitled ‘Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs linked with heart failure in patients with diabetes’ was presented at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2022, 26 – 29 August 2022.
