Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in patients with chronic renal failure: impact of diabetes mellitus

Aims  Left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and LV diastolic dysfunction are cardiac changes commonly observed in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) as well as hypertension. Although the impairment of LV diastolic function in patients with diabetes mellitus has been shown, little is known about the specific effect of diabetes on LV diastolic function in patients with CRF. The present study was designed to investigate the impact of diabetic nephropathy on LV diastolic dysfunction, independent of LV hypertrophy, in CRF patients.
