BMI and BP control may warrant priority to limit early LV injury in youth with T2D; leaves open independent effects of specific antidiabetic agents.
Are cardiovascular risk factors associated with alterations in cardiac structure and function in adolescents with type 2 diabetes?
Adolescents with type 2 diabetes exhibit early adverse changes in cardiac structure and function that are driven primarily by BMI and blood pressure rather than specific T2D treatments.
