Most diabetic patients have silent ischemia and cardiac dysfunction that is usually observed in the late phase of the disease when it becomes clinically obvious. We hypothesized that left ventricular dyssynchrony (LVdys) (or dispersion) is an early marker of myocardial involvement in asymptomatic early type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. Therefore, we aimed to detect early markers of myocardial dysfunction in early T2DM using LVdys and left ventricular mechanical reserve (LVMR).
