Key result
The updated 2016 algorithm for left ventricular diastolic dysfunction is more effective in predicting adverse cardiovascular events in established LVDD compared to 2009 recommendations.
Why the study?
Cardiovascular events are the leading cause of death in diabetic patients, requiring in-depth understanding of early cardiovascular manifestations such as left ventricular diastolic dysfunction.
Does the 2016 LVDD guideline algorithm improve the prediction of adverse cardiovascular events and grading of LVDD compared to the 2009 recommendations in patients with T2DM?

May improve prognostication in established LVDD; leaves open prospective validation in T2DM amid higher indeterminate rates.
Does the 2016 LVDD guideline algorithm improve the prediction of adverse cardiovascular events and grading of LVDD compared to the 2009 recommendations in patients with T2DM?
The 2016 LVDD guidelines improve prediction of adverse cardiovascular events in established LVDD but increase 'indeterminate' classifications, highlighting the need for further longitudinal studies in T2DM patients.
Grigorescu et al. (2019) conducted a review in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction. 2016 LVDD guidelines vs. 2009 LVDD recommendations was evaluated on Predicting adverse cardiovascular events. The updated 2016 algorithm for left ventricular diastolic dysfunction is more effective in predicting adverse cardiovascular events in established LVDD compared to 2009 recommendations.
