Özet
Purpose: Microalbuminuria is a premature and widely used indicator of diabetic nephropathy and is reported to be related with a higher cardiovascular risk in diabetic patients. We aimed to examine whether the echocardiographic parameters, such as epicardial fat thickness (EFT), carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and aortic stiffness index (ASI) are associated with microalbuminuria in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM).
