Introduction:？Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death
in diabetics. The objective of our study was to investigate the
echocardiographic aspects of type 2 diabetics. Patients and Method: Descriptive
and cross-sectional study of 12 months from June 2020 to June 2021. We included
hospitalized type 2 diabetics who underwent transthoracic cardiac ultrasound in
the Department of Medicine and Endocrinology at the Mali Hospital. Results: We collected 128 type 2 diabetics. The predominance was male with a sex ratio of
1.2. The mean age of patients was 60.06 ± 11.54 years with extremes of 28 and
84 years. Echocardiographic abnormalities were dominated by abnormal
relaxation of left ventricle in 62.5%, increased of left ventricle mass in
54.7% and left atrium dilation in 28.1%. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
and hypertension had more left atrium dilation with a p of 0.02. Disorders of
global kinetics and systolic dysfunction were more prevalent in smoking
patients with statistically significant associations, respectively, p = 0.02; p
= 0.03. Dyslipidemia had a statistically significant association with segmental
kinetic disorders with a p of 0.008. Duration of diabetes greater than 5 years
was associated with left atrium dilation and p-value was 0.04. Conclusion: Diabetes is responsible for cardiovascular manifestations that can be
identified with transthoracic echocardiography. Its performance in diabetic
patients makes it possible to refine the patient’s management.
