Abstract

Cardiovascular disease is increased in individuals with type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Left ventricular 
hypertrophy (LVH), which is an ominous prognostic sign and an independent risk factor for cardiac events, 
is often present in type 2 DM patients. The aim of our cross-sectional study was to evaluate the prevalence of 
LVH, and risk factors for its development, in normotensive type 2 diabetic patients without antihypertensive 
medication
