Impaired Left Atrial Conduit Function in Coronary Artery Disease Patients With Poorly Controlled Diabetes: Two‐Dimensional Speckle‐Tracking Echocardiographic Study

Objectives The myocardium can be affected by diabetes mellitus. The effects of blood glucose control on some organs such as the kidney and eye have been previously reported. The aim of our study was to evaluate left atrial function via 2‐dimensional (2D) speckle‐tracking echocardiography in a group...

Summary:Objectives The myocardium can be affected by diabetes mellitus. The effects of blood glucose control on some organs such as the kidney and eye have been previously reported. The aim of our study was to evaluate left atrial function via 2‐dimensional (2D) speckle‐tracking echocardiography in a group of coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with well‐controlled diabetes (hemoglobin A1c [HbA1c]
