Testing for Heart Failure in People with Diabetes: What Do the New ADA Guidelines Mean for Labs?
Imagine a world where people with diabetes don’t experience heart failure progression — it could become a reality. In this video, Ibrahim A. Hashim, M.Sc., Ph.D., C.Sci., FIBMS, DABCC, FAACC, UT Southwestern Medical Center, discusses how to put the American Diabetes Association’s recommendation for heart failure risk monitoring in all people with diabetes into practice.
According to Dr. Hashim, subclinical (asymptomatic) heart failure is reversible, preventable and treatable. Laboratories are at the interface between patients and biomarker evaluation. Learn more about how the laboratory can be at the forefront of screening implementation, and how collaboration to conduct cardiac biomarker testing sooner can potentially save many from experiencing the devastating effects of heart failure.
