OBJECTIVE - To evaluate in adults with type 2 diabetes the extent to which the relation of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) to markers of systemic inflammation (fibrinogen and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein [hsCRP]) are affected by microangiopathy.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS - We selected adults with type 2 diabetes using American Diabetes Association criteria from a population-based cohort, excluding those with medical history or electrocardiographic evidence of coronary heart disease or dialysis-dependent renal failure. LVH was assessed by echocardiogram.RESULTS - Of the 1,299 eligible participants, 384 (29.6%) had LVH, which was associated with higher BMI, hsCRP, fibrinogen, and albuminuria in univariate analyses. After controlling for significant confounders, fibrinogen and albuminuria were higher in the presence of LVH (both P < 0.01), whereas hsCRP was not (P = 0.2), mostly because of the confounding effect of BMI. Adjustment for albuminuria abolished the relation of LVH to higher fibrinogen (P = 0.2). However, fibrinogen was significantly higher in participants With LVH among those without pathologic levels of albuminuria (
