Heart disease is one of the world's biggest health-care, social and economic challenges. It is often associated with other conditions, such as diabetes and obesity. Researchers are now trying to determine how these conditions interact in an effort to better identify people at high risk and to improve treatment.
Landmark research on these interactions, including extensive clinical trials, is being conducted by the EU-funded project SICA-HF ('Studies Investigating Co-morbidities Aggravating Heart Failure'). The project is also being supported by the Russian Federation and involves 12 Russian and European organisations.
The researchers aim to provide important insights into the complex interaction between heart failure, diabetes, obesity and muscle wasting. The work will contribute to improved disease management and outcomes for patients.
