Abstract

Background: Diabetes is a significant global issue. Among the many complications of diabetes, there is increasing concern about the accompanying heart failure. Objectives: To determine the proportion of medicines and glycemic control for type 2 diabetes mellitus in patients with heart failure at Vinh Long General Hospital in 2024-2025. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 107 patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and heart failure at the Department of Cardiology during their hospitalization. Results: A total of 107 patients were included in the study, the rates of heart failure classification showed that HFrEF was 40.2%, HFpEF was 46.7%, and HFmrEF was the lowest at 13.1%. Insulin types accounted for the highest proportion of glucoselowering agents at 48.6%. Monotherapy with metformin represented 17.8%; combinations of metformin with gliclazide and vildagliptin accounted for 1.9%, metformin with insulin was 8.4%, and metformin with dapagliflozin was 13.1%. Conclusions: The rate of using treatment regimens containing metformin and insulin was the highest among the main diabetes medications for patients with type 2 diabetes and heart failure (48.6% used insulin and 43% used metformin for treatment).
