This study aims to investigate the myocardial phenotype of patients with type 2 diabetes. From 2016-2019 the investigators recruited a cohort of 296 subjects with type 2 diabetes. All subjects underwent clinical examinations including a gadolinium contrast cardiac MRI. The current study is a clinical follow-up study of the subjects, thus, the investigators will invite all participants to a reevaluation with cardiac MRI. Additionally, the investigators will aim at recruiting additionally 400 patients with type 2 diabetes. The aim it to characterize the phenotype of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Uniquely using cardiac MRI we can measure myocardial microvascular function, myocardial localised and diffuse fibrosis in addition to the quantification of myocardial structure and systolic and diastolic function.
