Key result
Anemia in patients with type 2 diabetes was independently associated with worsened left ventricular global longitudinal peak strain compared to patients without anemia (-8.9% vs -11.5%, p<0.001).
Why the study?
To explore the additive effects of anemia on left ventricular global strains in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus using cardiac magnetic resonance feature tracking.

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Anemia has an additive deleterious effect on left ventricular function and global strain in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, highlighting the importance of early detection and intervention for anemia in this population.
Qian et al. (2023) conducted a cross-sectional in Type 2 diabetes mellitus with or without anemia (n=303). Anemia vs. Type 2 diabetes without anemia was evaluated on Left ventricular global longitudinal peak strain (GLPS) (β = 0.265, p=<0.001). Anemia in patients with type 2 diabetes was independently associated with worsened left ventricular global longitudinal peak strain compared to patients without anemia (-8.9% vs -11.5%, p<0.001).
