Abstract

The strong association between diabetes mellitus and the cardiac left ventricular hypertrophy can be partially explanatory for the cardiovascular complications and end organ damage in diabetes, In our study we planned to compare the levels of inflammatory markers and albuminuria, the index for renal failure, between type 2 diabetic patients with and without LVH, with the purpose to find out if the following up of the inflammatory markers in Type 2 diabetic patients can be important for the prevention of the development of cardiac and renal complications.
