Description
A blood sugar marker can drift from what a person's glucose alone would predict, and that drift may say something extra about the heart. Chuxin Lyu and co-authors test that idea in a 2025 study of patients hospitalized with heart failure. They split patients by how strongly the heart still squeezes and tracked who got worse during the stay.
Patients whose hearts squeezed weakest carried the highest drift values and worsened most often. Each step up in the drift score came with a strong rise in the risk of worsening, in a near straight line. The score also tracked with the weak-squeeze type itself. The authors offer the index as a cheap add-on for sorting heart failure patients by risk, drawn from tests wards already run.
