Those with a cardiologist-confirmed (and thus known with a) diagnosis of heart failure. The latter group will not be invited for the diagnostic assessment at the cardiology outpatient clinic, to prevent them from redundant investigations. Moreover, by adding up the prevalence of those already known with heart failure with the prevalence rate of newly detected (previously unknown) heart failure patients after the diagnostic assessment provides the overall prevalence of heart failure in patients with diabetes aged 60 years and over. Thus, the overall prevalence rate of heart failure (known plus newly detected) can be calculated without diagnostic assessment of those with diabetes already known with established heart failure. This group will be asked to answer the Quality of Life questionnairres.

Name Time Method <p>Prevalence (with exact 95% confidence intervals) of (unrecognised) heart<br /><br>failure (systolic and 'isolated' diastolic) and diagnostic value of signs and<br /><br>symptoms (including co-morbidity), NT-proBNP, ECG and a combination of these<br /><br>items. Moreover, the cost-effectiveness of the different diagnostic strategies.</p><br>
