Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in type 2 diabetes mellitus patient without cardiovascular disease: the association with microalbuminuria
Abstract: Twenty-eight cases
of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) without any cardiovascular disease were
recruited from the Department of Metabolic-Endocrine, Faculty of Medicine,
University of Indonesia / Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital, Jakarta.
Recruitment of the study began in October 2001 and was completed by December
2001. Participants were examined for echocardiography and microalbuminuria
urinary examination. Diastolic dysfunction was found in 73.7% of type 2
diabetic patients without microalbuminuria and 66.7% in type 2 diabetic
patients with microalbuminuria. Neither type 2 diabetic groups with nor without
microalbuminuria indicated any significant association to the occurrence of
diastolic dysfunction. (Med J Indones 2005; 14: 169-72)
