Key result
Insulin-dependent diabetic children and adolescents exhibited abnormal postexercise systolic function, including reduced fractional shortening (0.37 vs. 0.43) compared to nondiabetic controls.

Does dynamic exercise reveal abnormal cardiac function by postexercise echocardiography in insulin-dependent diabetic children and adolescents compared to nondiabetic controls?
Population
Otherwise healthy insulin-dependent older children and adolescents
Comparison

May support postexercise echocardiography to detect subclinical systolic dysfunction in diabetic youth; hypothesis-generating for prognostic value.
Case-Control
Does dynamic exercise reveal abnormal cardiac function by postexercise echocardiography in insulin-dependent diabetic children and adolescents compared to nondiabetic controls?
Absolute Event Rate: 0.37% vs 0.43%
Postexercise echocardiography can reveal subclinical systolic dysfunction in asymptomatic insulin-dependent diabetic children and adolescents.
Baum et al. (1987) conducted a case-control in Insulin-dependent diabetes. Insulin-dependent diabetes vs. Nondiabetic control group was evaluated on Postexercise fractional shortening. Insulin-dependent diabetic children and adolescents exhibited abnormal postexercise systolic function, including reduced fractional shortening (0.37 vs. 0.43) compared to nondiabetic controls.
