Berceanu M, et al. - Given the association of diabetes mellitus type 1 (DM1) with a high risk for cardiovascular disease and the cruciality of early detection of myocardial dysfunction for the prevention of cardiac complications, researchers investigated left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular function in 50 young asymptomatic adults diagnosed with DM1 (mean interval from diagnosis 9 ± 6 years) and 80 healthy controls by using both conventional echocardiography as well as multi-layered speckle tracking echocardiography. Outcomes revealed subclinical myocardial dysfunction with lower LV endocardium and myocardium longitudinal strain and higher mechanical dispersion among young adults with DM1 and without known heart disease.
