Why the study?

Is albuminuria associated with impaired global left ventricular function (LV Tei-index) in asymptomatic patients with type 2 diabetes and preserved ejection fraction?

Population

80 consecutive asymptomatic patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and an LV ejection fraction ≥55%

Comparison

Presence of albuminuria vs Absence of albuminuria

Design

Cross-sectional

Overview

Albuminuria may mark subclinical LV impairment in asymptomatic T2D; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical adoption.

Structured PICO

Is albuminuria associated with impaired global left ventricular function (LV Tei-index) in asymptomatic patients with type 2 diabetes and preserved ejection fraction?

P
Population
80 consecutive asymptomatic patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and an LV ejection fraction ≥55%
I
Intervention
Presence of albuminuria
C
Comparator
Absence of albuminuria
O
Outcome
Echocardiography-derived indices of global left ventricular (LV) function, specifically LV Tei-indexsurrogate

In asymptomatic patients with type 2 diabetes and preserved ejection fraction, albuminuria is significantly correlated with subclinical global left ventricular dysfunction as measured by the Tei-index.
