Echocardiographic parameters of study groups

Characteristic/Variable	Non-T2D group (n = 15)	T2D group (n = 10)	p-value
LVEF (%)	70.3 ± 7.3 [66.3 -74.4]	66.5 ± 21.7 [51.0 - 82.0]	0.28
LVMI (g/m2)	134.1 ± 30.9 [116.9 - 151.2]	148.4 ± 31.6 [125.8 - 171.0]	0.31
LVDD	Present in 60%	Present in 100%	0.05

The values are expressed as means ± standard deviation; [95% confidence interval]; Non-T2D: non type 2 diabetes resistant hypertension; T2D: type 2 diabetes resistant hypertension; LVEF: left ventricle ejection fraction; LVMI: left ventricle mass index; LVDD: left ventricle diastolic dysfunction (assessed by the Omnen SR and Nishimura RA algorithm[27]).
