The aim was to assess the development and mortality risks associated with heart failure (HF) or chronic kidney disease (CKD) in T2D patients. T2D patients without a history of cardiovascular disease (CVD) or CKD, were extracted from health care registries in Japan (JPN), Norway (NO) and Sweden (SE). The first of the following diagnoses were recorded: stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), peripheral artery disease, cardiorenal disease (HF or CKD). Secondly, mortality risk was estimated in T2D groups with only HF (HF+T2D), only CKD (CKD+T2D) and only HF and CKD (HF+CKD+T2D) compared with the CVD-free T2D group, adjusted for age and sex. Of a total 530,512; 380,463 (72%) T2D patients free from CVD and CKD were followed for mean 5.7 years, 2.2 million patient-years. Of the 52,709 (14%) that developed a CVD manifestation, cardiorenal disease was most common (JPN 58%, NO 39% and SE 38%), followed by stroke in JPN and MI in NO and SE. When studying risks with HF and CKD, HF+T2D increased CKD risk 2-fold and CKD+T2D the HF risk 3-fold, compared to CVD-free T2D patients. CKD+T2D, HF+T2D and HF+CKD+T2D were associated with raised risk of all-cause death compared to CVD-free T2D (Figure). In CVD-free T2D patients, cardiorenal disease was consistently the most common first CVD manifestation and was associated with significant increased risk of all-cause death.
