Diabetic Cardiomyopathy: Five Major Questions with Simple Answers

Diabetes is a major risk factor for heart disease. Diabetic cardiomyopathy is a long-lasting process that affects the myocardium in patients who have no other cardiac conditions. The condition has a complex physiopathology which can be subdivided into processes that cause diastolic and/or systolic d...
