68%

of people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) had evidence of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction within 5 years of T2D diagnosis4,*

*Prospective, multicenter study, evaluating clinical and echocardiographic characteristics of individuals with T2D (N=386) who were determined to be free from cardiac disease. Mean duration of diabetes was 5 years; mean A1C was 7.1%. LV dysfunction comprised of the combined asymptomatic left ventricular systolic and/or diastolic dysfunction.1
