Implication
May link non-insulin-dependent DM to excess CV risk via remodeling; hypothesis-generating for targeted interventions.
Structured PICO

P
Population
Individuals with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DM)
I
Intervention
Non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (as an exposure)
O
Outcome
Cardiac structure and function (including LV mass, wall thicknesses, LV systolic chamber and myocardial function, and arterial stiffness)surrogate
Non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus independently causes adverse changes in cardiac structure and function, which may contribute to increased cardiovascular events.
