Fig. 2From: Phenotyping diabetic cardiomyopathy in Europeans and South Asians Cardiovascular parameters (boxplots depicting median, interquartile ranges and outliers) in South Asian T2D patients (n = 33) compared with controls (n = 21) (*P < 0.05). In South Asian T2D patients, the E/A ratio was lower than in the controls and LV concentricity was higher in parallel with a higher LV mass. As both the LV extracellular volume and myocardial cell volume were higher, the ECV fraction was slightly lower in South Asian T2D patients than in controls.
