Associations of diabetes mellitus (DM) status with left ventricular (LV) indices (n = 1476). LV mass-to-volume ratio was higher in impaired fasting glucose and DM group than normal at any level of LV mass (a). Torsion was greater in treated DM than normal and untreated DM (b). The sphericity index was correlated negatively with the mass-to-volume ratio (c). Torsion was positively correlated with mass-to-volume ratio, and negatively with shericity index (d)
