Summary

A pragmatic, randomized clinical trial to evaluate the effect of a heart failure (HF) risk assessment and prevention strategy incorporating HF clinical risk scores (WATCH-DM) with cardiac biomarker (NT-proBNP) paired with a clinical decision support tool to implement an intensive prevention strategy among patients with high risk focused on implementation of evidence-based HF preventive therapies.


Eligibility

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study (STRONG-DM) is testing whether a routine blood test called NT-proBNP — a marker that rises when the heart is under strain — can help primary care doctors screen their patients with type 2 diabetes for early signs of heart failure, and then intervene before the condition worsens. The study focuses on the doctors themselves as the participants, evaluating whether this screening tool changes clinical decision-making and improves how heart failure is prevented and detected in people with diabetes. **You may be eligible if...** - You are a primary care provider (doctor, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant) who sees patients with type 2 diabetes in your clinic - You are willing to use a decision support tool to guide screening and treatment conversations **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You do not see patients with type 2 diabetes in your clinical practice - You are not a primary care provider Talk to your study team to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALIntensive Prevention Strategy

Providers randomized to the intensive prevention strategy will receive notification about patients with diabetes who have high heart failure risk and recommendations for medical management, e-consultation, or referral to a cardiometabolic risk management program.
