TL;DR: In patients with type 2 diabetes, age or age at diagnosis and diabetes duration are independent associated with macrovascular events and death whereas only diabetes duration is independently associated with microv vascular events and this effect is greater in the youngest patients.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the literature for risk prediction models in patients with heart failure and to identify the most consistently reported independent predictors of risk across models was conducted, and the most commonly reported predictors were age, renal function, blood pressure, blood sodium level, left ventricular ejection fraction, sex, brain natriuretic peptide level, New York Heart Association functional class, diabetes, weight or body mass index, and exercise capacity.

TL;DR: In patients with type 2 diabetes, HbA1c levels were associated with lower risks of macrovascular events and death down to a threshold of 7.0% and microv vascular events down toA threshold of 6.5%.

TL;DR: Major adverse cardiac event rates are lower after angioplasty compared to thrombolysis, irrespective of time to presentation, while increase in presentation delay is associated with older age, female gender, diabetes and an increased heart rate.
