Overview

Insulin-dependent diabetic patients, particularly those developing preclinical nephropathy, exhibit echocardiographic signs of cardiac hyperfunction.

Structured PICO

Does insulin-dependent diabetes and its associated microvascular complications affect echocardiographic measures of cardiac function?

P
Population
120 subjects total: 80 insulin-dependent diabetic patients with no signs of ischemic heart disease and 40 healthy control subjects.
I
Intervention
Insulin-dependent diabetes, stratified by urinary albumin excretion rate (UAE)
C
Comparator
Healthy control subjects
O
Outcome
Cardiac function assessed by echocardiography, specifically fractional shortening of the left ventricle (FS), preload, and afterloadsurrogate

Insulin-dependent diabetic patients, particularly those developing preclinical nephropathy, exhibit echocardiographic signs of cardiac hyperfunction.
