Diabetic Microvascular Complications Strongly Linked to LVH in T2DM: Study
Researchers have reported that diabetic microvascular complications have significantly increased the risk of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. LVH is a common pathological change found in the heart of diabetic individuals, and poor cardiovascular outcomes have been associated with this condition. A recent study was conducted by Simo Liu and colleagues which was published in the Journal of Diabetes and Its Complications. The study aimed to examine the relationship between diabetic microvascular complications and LVH in patients with T2DM and evaluate the cumulative effect of multiple complications on the risk of LVH.
This cross-sectional analysis was based on 2912 T2DM patients, which included 360 with LVH and 2552 without LVH. It gathered information from demographic characteristics, medical history, laboratory indices, diabetic microvascular complications, and cardiac ultrasonography. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to ascertain independent effects of the number of microvascular complications on the probability of LVH in addition to adjustment for age and body mass index.
