Does asymptomatic Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus increase the prevalence of resting ECG abnormalities compared to healthy controls?
Absolute Event Rate: 26% vs 0%
A quarter of asymptomatic Type 2 diabetes patients exhibit resting ECG abnormalities, highlighting the potential utility of routine ECG screening for early detection of cardiovascular involvement.
Sahil Gupta (2017) conducted a cross-sectional in Asymptomatic Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (n=150). Asymptomatic Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus vs. Age and sex matched controls was evaluated on ECG abnormalities. Asymptomatic Type 2 diabetes mellitus was associated with a 26% prevalence of ECG abnormalities, compared to 0% in age- and sex-matched controls.
