Department of Cardiology, Leeds General Infirmary, Leeds, United Kingdom Heart failure and Diabetes mellitus are chronic complex medical conditions that are closely related and commonly coexist.Treatment options have varied over the years, but newer treatment modalities have developed which have improved prognosis and longevity of patients with these conditions.
