Abstract
The aim of this work was to search for latent cardiac abnormalities that might be present in patients with recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus, without clinical manifestations of heart disease.
Conclusions:
We may conclude that patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus may have latent cardiovascular abnormalities early in the course of disease, while they did not yet have any symptoms or signs of cardiovascular disease.
Recommendations:
1- Screening for microalbuminuria may be one of the most important, simple clinical tools in practice as microalbuminuria identifies patients who need more vigorous cardiovascular risk management, and reduction of microalbuminuria were likely prove to be an effective way to retard not only the progression of renal disease but also cardiovascular disease.
2- High sensitivity C creative protein assay must be done especially among high risk patients for detection of premature atherosclerosis.
3- Calculation of QTD is a simple and easy screening method for detection of latent cardiac abnormalities in type 2 diabetes mellitus.
4- Evaluation of diastolic function, systolic function and left ventricular mass index by echocardiography must be done for early detection of diabetic cardiomyopathy.
