Indicates early subclinical diastolic dysfunction in young T2D; hypothesis-generating for HF risk stratification and longitudinal studies.
Do young adults with Type 2 diabetes have worse cardiovascular risk profiles and cardiac function compared to lean and obese controls?
Young adults with Type 2 diabetes exhibit early diastolic dysfunction and adverse cardiovascular risk profiles similar to obese individuals, highlighting early markers for future heart failure.
