Sažetak
Recently, were documented detrimental effects of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and insulin on mortality and hospitalizations due to heart failure in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Although, authors have made multiple adjustments when performing Cox regression analysis, they did not make adjustments for dyslipidaemia whose regulation is a cornerstone of treatment in secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease due to its beneficial effects, including mortality. Considering, substantial number of patients in this study that would benefit from the regulation of dyslipidaemia, we believe that additional adjustments of Cox regression models for baseline dyslipidaemia prevalence and history of CABG/PCI would enhance robustness of the study results.
