Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in diabetes mellitus, necessitating early detection methods.
-
2
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging biomarkers, including ECV and perfusion indices, show promise for identifying cardiovascular complications in diabetes.
-
3
Nineteen studies involving over 3,900 patients demonstrated significant myocardial changes in diabetic patients using CMR techniques.

Meta-analysis revealed elevated ECV, reduced myocardial perfusion reserve index, and increased prevalence of late gadolinium enhancement in diabetes.
