Why the study?
Do Type 2 diabetes and NAFLD differentially affect cardiac structure, function, and metabolism compared to healthy controls?
Do Type 2 diabetes and NAFLD differentially affect cardiac structure, function, and metabolism compared to healthy controls?
Both Type 2 diabetes and NAFLD are associated with preclinical concentric cardiac remodeling, but only Type 2 diabetes is associated with overt systolic and diastolic dysfunction, which correlates with glycemic control.
