Mean and visit-to-visit variability of glycemia and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction: a longitudinal analysis of 3,025 adults with serial echocardiography

We aimed to determine the mean glucose thresholds to increase the risk of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) and whether visit-to-visit variability of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and glycated hemoglobin (A1C) could independently increase the risk in a cohort with serial echocardiography.
