Functional capacity and left ventricular diastolic function in patients with type 2 diabetes

ConclusionsLVDD significantly impacted functional capacity in DM patients. Glycemic control, LV mass index and LVDD were independently related with peak oxygen consumption and ventilation/carbon dioxide slope in the study population. These results show that timely diagnosis of LVDD and more intensive antidiabetic treatment could prevent target organ damage in DM patients.
