Why the study?
Are diabetes and impaired fasting glucose associated with early alterations in left ventricular geometry and function in adolescents and young adults?
Are diabetes and impaired fasting glucose associated with early alterations in left ventricular geometry and function in adolescents and young adults?
Diabetes and prediabetes are independently associated with early unfavorable cardiovascular phenotypes, including increased left ventricular mass and preclinical dysfunction, in adolescents and young adults.
