Diabetes attenuated age‐related aortic root dilatation in end‐stage renal disease patients receiving peritoneal dialysis

Abstract

Recently, some data have supported the concept that diabetes is negatively associated with aortic aneurysm. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between diabetes and cardiac structural and functional characteristics, in particular, aortic root dimensions, in end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) patients.
