Echocardiographic phenotypes of Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes may indicate early diabetic myocardial disease.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

Type 2 diabetes may impair cardiac structure and function at very early stage, other factors, for example, obesity and hypertension, can induce aforementioned abnormalities individually. This study aimed to explore precise prevention and treatment of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) by using cluster analysis of echocardiographic variables.

Methods and results

A total of 66 536 inpatients with diabetes from 2013 to 2018 were investigated, and 7112 patients were available for analysis after nadir. The cluster analysis was performed on echocardiographic variables to assess the clinical profiles and risk factors of clusters. Two clusters were identified. Cluster 1 with 3576 patients (50.3%, including 62.5% female) had hypertension in 62.4%, while the lower rate of obesity (13.7
