"Subclinical right ventricular dysfunction in patients with asymptomatic type 2 diabetes mellitus: A cross-sectional study"

CONCLUSION: Diabetes mellitus is associated with subclinical systolic as well as diastolic RV dysfunction. In addition to helping identify people at high risk, the early recognition of RV dysfunction gives us a window of opportunity to take action and slow down the disease's course. This study emphasizes that the early identification of RV diastolic as well as systolic dysfunction in asymptomatic Type 2 diabetic patients can be a helpful tool in halting the progression of disease from subclinical to frank clinical cases, thereby preventing the morbidity and mortality associated with heart failure. Hence, it adds value to the pre-existing literature.PMID:37863394 | DOI:10.1016/j.ihj.2023.10.005
