Diabetes mellitus is associated with a high mortality from cardiac disease attributed to
coronary artery atherosclerosis or systemic hypertension. Increasing evidence indicates that …

To determine the prevalence of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in asymptomatic,
normotensive patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, we studied 61 consecutive …

Indexes of left ventricular diastolic filling were measured by pulsed Doppler
echocardiography in 21 insulin-dependent diabetic patients and 21 control subjects without …

To evaluate the prevalence of left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction in patients with type 2
