Study of Association between diabetes mellitus and left ventricular hypertrophy in a tertiary care hospital of Kanpur

Abstract

Introduction- Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease hallmarked by raised blood glucose 
concentration and because of its consequences, it has high morbidity rate. The studies indicate 
that individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) frequently have left ventricular 
hypertrophy (LVH). Therefore, this study was planned to assess the prevalence and determinants 
of LVH in T2DM in order to delay or avoid the onset of cardiac complications and to give a 
carefully focused intervention aimed at lowering morbidity and mortality in patients with T2DM.
