Diabetes
Diabetes does not directly cause heart failure itself. However, it might contribute to some associated health issues. People with diabetes might be at higher risk of developing coronary artery disease and high blood pressure. Both conditions would eventually lead to heart failure. More importantly, some medications or drugs used for treating diabetes, such as pioglitazone or rosiglitazone, have been shown to increase the risk of facing heart failure. Therefore, it is important to discuss everything carefully with your healthcare provider to make the necessary changes. [11]
