In patients with type 2 diabetes presenting with arrhythmias, sinus tachycardia and complete heart block are the most frequent, and prolonged QTc is highly prevalent and associated with cardiac autonomic neuropathy.
Agarwal et al. (2017) conducted a cross-sectional in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with cardiac arrhythmias (n=100). Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus was evaluated on Prevalence of different types of arrhythmias. In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus presenting with arrhythmias, sinus tachycardia was the most common (32%), followed by complete heart block (20%), and 64% of tested patients had cardiac autonomic neuropathy.
