In patients with pLVEF, there were significant differences in the VEGF levels between T2D patients and those without T2D at admission (205.0 pg/mL, ranging from 1.7 to 598 pg/mL in T2D patients vs. 85.8 pg/mL, with a range from 1.7 to 292 pg/mL in ND group, p = 0.02). Here, VEGFA is linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus.
