An important distinction here, is that this study is talking about Heart Failure (Congestive Heart Failure - CHF) as opposed to a Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction - MI):
Heart failure is a progressive condition where the pump becomes less efficient and pressure regulation between the heart and lungs can lead to fluid build up, leading to difficulty in breathing, and/or swollen legs and increased strain on an already failing pump
MI is the acute onset Emergency Room type deal as seen on TV.
Of course, MIs or the reduced myocardial blood flow that causes them can also lead to CHF.
I also believe that those with D (especially type 2) who have MIs have a lower chance of survival.
Is there any good news out there
