title: [Relationship between left ventricle dysfunction and the development of neuropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus].
abstract: The prevalence of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction was evaluated in 127 patients aged 22-66 yr with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) without CHD. 69 (54.3%) of them presented with arterial hypertension that increased severity of diastolic dysfunction and the frequency of left ventricular concentric hypertrophy. Diastolic dysfunction in the absence of arterial hypertension was related to poor compensation of DM2 (HbA1c 7.5%) associated with the risk of microangiopathy and demyelinating neuropathy.
