Key result
Baseline left ventricular diastolic dysfunction normalizes in ~43% of type 2 diabetes patients over six years.
Why the study?
Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction is common in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, but its progression over time is not well characterized.
Cohort (n=73)
In patients with type 2 diabetes without clinical cardiovascular disease, left ventricular diastolic dysfunction frequently improves or remains stable over a 6-year period.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
LV diastolic dysfunction often improves or stabilizes in T2D without CVD; leaves open whether targeted interventions alter progression or outcomes.
Venskutonytė et al. (2014) conducted a cohort in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (n=73). Type 2 diabetes mellitus was evaluated on Longitudinal development of left ventricular diastolic function. Over a 6.4-year follow-up in patients with type 2 diabetes, baseline left ventricular diastolic dysfunction normalized in 43% and remained unchanged in 57%.
