Implication

Strain detects subclinical progression missed by LVEF in diabetes; leaves open prognostic value and need for intervention trials.

Structured PICO

Population

112 asymptomatic clinically stable patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and normal LVEF, mean age 53 ± 10 years, 59% men.

Outcome

Changes in LV function assessed with 2D speckle tracking analysis (circumferential strain, longitudinal strain, SR IVR, and SR E) after 2-year follow-upsurrogate

Asymptomatic patients with type 2 diabetes and normal LVEF experience mild but significant progression of subclinical LV systolic and diastolic dysfunction over 2 years, detectable by speckle tracking echocardiography.
