Key result
Asymptomatic T2D linked to ~23% prevalence of LVDD and underlying silent MI.
Why the study?
Cardiovascular events are the leading cause of death among diabetic patients but are frequently underdiagnosed because of subclinical presentation.
Cross-Sectional (n=95)
Yes
Asymptomatic left ventricular diastolic dysfunction and silent myocardial ischemia are prevalent in relatively young type 2 diabetic patients in Cameroon, highlighting the need for preventive screening.
High LVDD and SMI prevalence in asymptomatic T2DM; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change screening practice.

Walinjom et al. (2022) conducted a cross-sectional in Asymptomatic Type 2 Diabetes (n=95). Asymptomatic type 2 diabetic patients had a 23.1% prevalence of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction and a 13.6% prevalence of silent myocardial infarction.
