Abstract
Diabetes is a very important comorbidity in patients with heart failure. When both diseases are present, mortality is greatly increased. Therefore, it is important to sufficiently diagnose and treat patients with diabetes and heart failure to improve outcome. This article provides an overview on epidemiology, pathogeneses, diagnostic and therapeutic options.
