A Study of Diastolic Dysfunction in Asymptomatic Normotensive Patients of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Abstract: This prospective observational study evaluated the prevalence of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) among asymptomatic normotensive patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. One hundred patients fulfilling predefined inclusion criteria were enrolled and underwent echocardiographic assessment with tissue Doppler imaging. LVDD was identified using established echocardiographic parameters. LVDD was detected in 63% of participants, indicating a high burden of subclinical cardiac involvement. Increasing age and longer duration of diabetes were associated with a greater frequency of LVDD. The findings suggest that asymptomatic cardiac dysfunction is common in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus even in the absence of hypertension or overt cardiovascular disease. Early echocardiographic screening may facilitate timely intervention and improve long-term cardiovascular outcomes.
