On the other hand, in our study, NT-proBNP levels seem to correlate with a phenotypical profile of T2DM patients with no overt clinical CVD who have more impaired functional capacity with lower METs achieved and a higher VE/VCO2 slope, slightly lower EF but with higher left ventricular filling pressures, and higher right atrium and right ventricle volumes in CMR. Here, NPPB is linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus.
