Key result
Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction was present in 58% of diabetic patients under 50 years old compared to 0% of controls, and correlated with age and diabetes duration.
Why the study?
What is the prevalence of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in young diabetic patients, and does it correlate with age and duration of diabetes?
Case-Control (n=100)

Khalil et al. (2008) conducted a case-control in Diabetes Mellitus (n=100). Diabetes Mellitus vs. Age and sex matched controls was evaluated on Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction was present in 58% of diabetic patients under 50 years old compared to 0% of controls, and correlated with age and diabetes duration.
