Myocardial Dysfunction in Early Diabetes Patients with Microalbuminuria: A 2-Dimensional Speckle Tracking Strain Study

The aim of this study was to assess myocardial dysfunction in primary diabetes patients with microalbuminuria by 2-dimensional speckle tracking strain. Sixty-two patients with diabetes with or without hypertension and 37 matched hypertension controls were consecutively recruited from January 2011 to...

Description
Summary:The aim of this study was to assess myocardial dysfunction in primary diabetes patients with microalbuminuria by 2-dimensional speckle tracking strain. Sixty-two patients with diabetes with or without hypertension and 37 matched hypertension controls were consecutively recruited from January 2011 to 2013. Routine physical examinations, laboratory tests, and echocardiography were performed in all patients. Subjects enrolled were divided into three groups according to history and urine albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR): group I: patients with only hypertension and normoalbuminuria (ACR
