Background Diabetes is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. In particular, type 1
diabetes compromises the cardiac function of individuals at a relatively early age due to the …

Aims/hypothesis Subclinical left ventricular (LV) dysfunction has been shown by tissue
Doppler and strain imaging in diabetic patients in the absence of coronary disease or LV …

Regional left ventricular (LV) myocardial functional changes in early diabetic
cardiomyopathy have not been well documented. LV multidirectional strain and strain rate …

Background Coronary artery disease (CAD) confers considerable morbidity and mortality in
diabetes. However, the role of CAD in additive effect of left ventricular (LV) function has …

OBJECTIVE—To investigate the relation between diabetic autonomic neuropathy (DAN) and
left ventricular (LV) function in type 1 diabetic patients. RESEARCH DESIGN AND …

Aims The pathophysiological mechanisms responsible for increased cardiovascular
mortality in diabetic autonomic neuropathy (AN) are largely unknown. The aim was to …

Background Glycemic control, as measured by glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), is an
important biomarker to evaluate diabetes severity and is believed to be associated with …

Background Essential hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are two common
chronic diseases that often coexist, and both of these diseases can cause heart damage …

Aims The study sought to evaluate cardiorespiratory fitness in patients with type 2 diabetes
mellitus (DM) with different levels of left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) …

Background Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) is considered a precursor of
diabetic cardiomyopathy, while insulin resistance (IR) is a precursor of type 2 diabetes …
