Key result
Asymptomatic type 2 diabetes was associated with a higher prevalence of left ventricular diastolic abnormalities measured by tissue Doppler echocardiography compared to healthy controls (89.4% vs 52.0%; P<0.001).
Population
82 subjects, including 57 asymptomatic patients with type 2 diabetes and 25 healthy control subjects.

Supports diastolic assessment in asymptomatic type 2 diabetes; leaves open prognostic value and intervention effects.
Cross-Sectional (n=82)
Absolute Event Rate: 89.4% vs 52%
p-value: p=<0.001
Aortic elastic function is impaired in asymptomatic patients with type 2 diabetes and is closely associated with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction.
Seyfeli et al. (2007) conducted a cross-sectional in Asymptomatic type 2 diabetes mellitus (n=82). Type 2 diabetes mellitus vs. Healthy control subjects was evaluated on Left ventricular diastolic abnormalities measured by tissue Doppler echocardiography (septal annulus) (p=<0.001). Asymptomatic type 2 diabetes was associated with a higher prevalence of left ventricular diastolic abnormalities measured by tissue Doppler echocardiography compared to healthy controls (89.4% vs 52.0%; P<0.001).
