Abstract
RAMON-RIOS, Alberto et al. Cardiovascular diagnostic methods in patients with diabetes mellitus. A review. Gac. Méd. Méx [online]. 2023, vol.159, n.3, pp.253-260. Epub June 12, 2023. ISSN 2696-1288. https://doi.org/10.24875/gmm.m23000766.
Cardiovascular diseases are the most common cause of mortality in the world. Currently, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the main risk factors for major adverse cardiovascular events. T2DM patients have a four-fold higher risk of developing heart failure and 10 to 12 times higher mortality. Echocardiography in all its modalities is the best clinical tool for heart failure diagnosis, since it provides static and dynamic images of the heart that allow to identify structural and functional changes, such as pressure variations, flow changes, left ventricular ejection fraction and myocardial surfaces anatomical remodeling.
