ALT Background and study aims Heart failure (HF) outcomes are worse in people with type 1 (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) than in those without diabetes. However, research in this area is lacking and has primarily focused on T2D. There is limited understanding of the pathophysiology of HF in T1D despite its poor prognosis. The overall aim of this study is to address this knowledge gap in the prevention and treatment of HF in individuals with T1D. The presence of cardiac microvascular disease (MVD) may play an important role in HF and T1D. This study will explore the role of cardiac MVD in patients with T1D and HF using a comprehensive assessment of cardiac imaging in people with and without T1D and HF. This study will address a significant unmet need, providing novel insights into HF in T1D that may support improved prevention and treatment of HF in T1D in future.
