Summary: | Objective
Cardiac dysfunction is a well‐known consequence of diabetes mellitus. This study was designed to assess whether type 1 diabetic children and adolescents with good metabolic control have early echocardiographic signs of subclinical left ventricular dysfunction and whether diabetes duration has any influence, using conventional and nonconventional echocardiographic tools.
Methods
A total of 100 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus and 80 gender‐ and age‐matched healthy controls were included. The cases underwent standard conventional transthoracic echocardiography, tissue Doppler imaging, and two‐dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography. None of the diabetic patients had signs of renal, retinal, or neurological complications of the disease, and all were good metabolic control (mean HbA1c |
