Alteration of Myocardial Deformations in Diabetes: Relationship to Micro-angiopathy

NCT01220349 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 61

Summary

Despite careful monitoring of patients with diabetes, it is so far difficult to predict the occurrence of cardiac events in the evolution. As shown by various studies conducted in patients with diabetes, cardiac involvement can be detected by abnormalities of diastolic or systolic functions using non-invasive investigations such as echocardiography. For 4 years, the evaluation technique of myocardial deformations by two-dimensional speckle tracking strain by echocardiography is the subject of high hopes in the earlier detection of still asymptomatic cardiomyopathies. In the present study, the investigators hypothesized that this technique would improve the detection of myocardial contraction abnormalities in patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), and would establish their association with micro-angiopathy, frequently encountered in these patients.
