May indicate subclinical myocardial changes in asymptomatic T2DM; leaves open whether CMR parameters improve risk stratification or outcomes.
Does type 2 diabetes mellitus alter myocardial extracellular volume and T1 values in asymptomatic patients with normal systolic strain compared to healthy controls?
Asymptomatic patients with type 2 diabetes and normal systolic strain exhibit increased myocardial extracellular volume and native T1 values on CMR, suggesting early interstitial expansion linked to glycemic control.
