Left Ventricular Mass, Geometry and Function in Diabetic Patients Affected by Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease(CAD) is quite common among diabetic patients, our study goal is to detect the prevalence of left ventricular(LV) adverse changes in geometry, mass and diastolic function on diabetic, but not hypertensive patients, with coronary artery disease(CAD) and LV ejection fraction(LVEF)> 45%, actually unknown, because of current guidelines that do not include echocardiographic assessment for follow up of diabetic patients.
