PY - 2019 DA - 2019/10/11 TI - Phenotyping diabetic cardiomyopathy in Europeans and South Asians JO - Cardiovascular Diabetology SP - 133 VL - 18 IS - 1 AB - The pathogenesis and cardiovascular impact of type 2 diabetes (T2D) may be different in South Asians compared with other ethnic groups. The phenotypic characterization of diabetic cardiomyopathy remains debated and little is known regarding differences in T2D-related cardiovascular remodeling across ethnicities. We aimed to characterize the differences in left ventricular (LV) diastolic and systolic function, LV structure, myocardial tissue characteristics and aortic stiffness between T2D patients and controls and to assess the differences in T2D-related cardiovascular remodeling between South Asians and Europeans.
