Key result
Diastolic dysfunction affects ~36% of asymptomatic T2DM patients, tracking with age and disease duration.
Why the study?
Diastolic dysfunction in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients without cardiovascular risk factors has not been well characterized using echocardiographic evaluation.
What is the prevalence of echocardiographic diastolic dysfunction in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus without cardiovascular risk factors?

What is the prevalence of echocardiographic diastolic dysfunction in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus without cardiovascular risk factors?
Diastolic dysfunction is highly prevalent (36%) in type 2 diabetes patients even without other cardiovascular risk factors, and is associated with older age and longer diabetes duration.
Diastolic dysfunction may be common in uncomplicated T2DM; hypothesis-generating for screening but leaves open need for prospective outcome trials.
Background: Diabetic cardiomyopathy is a well-known cardiovascular disorder.This study was aimed to evaluate diastolic function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus without cardiovascular risk factors based on echocardiographic findings.Material: One year hospital based cross-sectional study.A total of 100 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus for a period of one year were enrolled.All the patients underwent 2D echocardiography and were evaluated for diastolic dysfunction.Observations: 58% patients were males and male to female ratio was 1.38:1.The common age group in this study was >60 years (43%) and the mean age was 55.67+-11.13years.In 41% of the patients the duration of diabetes was between 1-5 years.57% of the patients had uncontrolled diabetes with HbA1c of >8%.Diastolic dysfunction was present in 36% of the patients.Significant association of diastolic dysfunction was noted with age (p=0.012) and duration of diabetes (p=0.022)but no association was found with sex (p=0.118),body mass index (p=0.419)and glycemic control (p=0.433).Conclusion: Diastolic dysfunction is widely prevalent in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus even in the absence of cardiovascular risk factors.Increased age and duration are the significant risk factors for diastolic dysfunction in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Dr Savesh Roshan (2018) conducted a cross-sectional in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (n=100). Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus was evaluated on Prevalence of diastolic dysfunction. Diastolic dysfunction was present in 36% of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus without cardiovascular risk factors, and was significantly associated with increased age and duration of diabetes.
