OBJECTIVE To assess the relationship between subclinical cardiac dysfunction and aerobic
exercise capacity (peak VO2) in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D), a group at high risk of …

Functional capacity represents an important predictor for cardiovascular and all-cause
mortality in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Impaired cardiopulmonary fitness is …

Background Left atrial (LA) strain is impaired in left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction,
associated with increased LV end diastolic pressure (LVEDP). In patients with preserved LV …

Purpose Exercise training improves exercise capacity in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). It
remains to be elucidated whether such improvements result from cardiac or peripheral …

This pilot study focusing on Sickle Cell Anemia (SCA) patients offers a comprehensive and
integrative evaluation of respiratory, cardiovascular, hemodynamic, and metabolic variables …

Pre-heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (Pre-HFpEF) is a critical link to the
development of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Early recognition and …

Aims To compare the cardiac function and pulmonary vascular function during exercise
between dyspnoeic and non-dyspnoeic patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) …

Aims Subclinical left ventricular (LV) dysfunction may occur in T2DM patients at the early
asymptomatic stage, and LV reserve function is a sensitive index to detect subtle LV …

Background and purpose The development of myocardial fibrosis is a major complication of
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), impairing myocardial deformation and, therefore, cardiac …

Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) frequently present reduced exercise capacity. We
aimed to explore the extent to which peripheral extraction relates to exercise capacity in …
