Abstract
The metabolic and microvascular benefits of regular exercise for people with diabetes are unequivocal. However, cardiovascular disease, which disproportionately affects people with diabetes, is not reduced by regular exercise, and heart disease remains the leading cause of death for people with type 2 diabetes. 'Subclinical' changes in the function of the diabetic left ventricle are common and reduce cardiac reserve and exercise capacity. This review describes the changes in resting and exercising left ventricular function, and the possible causes of these changes, and introduces the possibility that more vigorous exercise may be needed to improve left ventricular function and reduce rates of cardiovascular disease in people with type 2 diabetes.
