Summary

This study looks at why diabetes can damage the heart even without clogged arteries. Researchers will examine heart tissue and use advanced imaging in 500 adults with heart failure, with or without type 2 diabetes. The goal is to understand how heart cells' energy factories (mitochondria) work differently in diabetes, which could lead to earlier diagnosis and new treatments.
