Frequency of Asymptomatic Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction in Diabetes Mellitus Type 2

Conditions
Diastolic Dysfunction
Registration Number
NCT03196687
Lead Sponsor
Assiut University
Brief Summary

Patients with type 2 DM may develop a cardiomyopathy often called diabetic cardiomyopathy which is characterized by left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in early stages

Type 2 DM is associated with various types of subclinical target organ damage resulting in elevated risk of CVD events, moreover there is growing evidence that a prediabetic status, such as impaired fasting glucose is also related to subclinical target organ damage when compared to a group with normal glucose metabolism Diabetes mellitus is a well-studied major risk factor for coronary heart diseases, which is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Another distinct entity of diabetes-related cardiac affection is the diabetic cardiomyopathy. This entity of cardic affection by diabetes still needs more and more attention, not only because it is common in diabetic patients, but also because of its easy detection by the simple, inexpensive and widely available diagnostic echocardiography.

Diabetes mellitus is a well-studied major risk factor for coronary heart diseases, which is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Another distinct entity of diabetes-related cardiac affection is the diabetic cardiomyopathy. This entity of cardic affection by diabetes still needs more and more attention, not only because it is common in diabetic patients, but also because of its easy detection by the simple, inexpensive and widely available diagnostic echocardiography.

The proposed mechanisms that may be implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy include autonomic dysfunction, microvascular disease, interstitial fibrosis and metabolic disorders. However, the actual causes and mechanisms remain unclear.
