BACKGROUND: The prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), coronary artery
disease, and subclinical cardiomyopathy in diabetic patients without known cardiac disease …

Left ventricular function at rest and during supine bicycle exercise was assessed by gated
radionuclide angiography in 20 diabetic patients and 18 normal control subjects without …

Purpose To further the understanding of diabetic heart disease, we tested the hypothesis
that an asymptomatic group of normotensive diabetic patients between 20 and 50 years old …

Background The aim of the present study was to verify whether BNP might detect pre-clinical
diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) in type-2 diabetic patients. Methods One-hundred and twenty …

Forty-nine diabetic patients (26 type I and 23 type II), free of cardiovascular disease
symptoms, were compared with 32 controls in a noninvasive study of left ventricular (LV) …

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

OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine whether abnormalities of left ventricular structure and
function could be detected in asymptomatic type 2 diabetic patients free of cardiovascular …

Aims We examined the usefulness of BNP for screening for left ventricular (LV) diastolic
dysfunction in a sample of type 2 diabetic patients, without structural heart disorder, who …

Aims/hypothesis Heart failure is one of the leading causes of mortality in type 1 diabetes.
Early identification is vitally important. We sought to determine the prevalence and clinical …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the relations between left ventricular (LV) functional
abnormalities, microangiopathy, and autonomic dysfunction in patients with non–insulin …
