Left ventricular hypertrophy in normoalbuminuric type 2 diabetic patients not taking antihypertensive treatment

Background: Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is an independent risk factor for myocardial ischaemia, cardiac arrhythmia, sudden death, and heart failure, all common findings in patients with type 2 diabetes. Aim: To determine the prevalence of, and risk factors for, LVH in normoalbuminuric type 2...

Zusammenfassung:	Background: Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is an independent risk factor for myocardial ischaemia, cardiac arrhythmia, sudden death, and heart failure, all common findings in patients with type 2 diabetes. Aim: To determine the prevalence of, and risk factors for, LVH in normoalbuminuric type 2 diabetic patients not taking antihypertensive treatment. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: From 1994 to 1998, M-mode echocardiography was performed by one experienced examiner in 262 consecutive, normoalbuminuric Caucasian type 2 diabetic patients, all with blood pressure
