Key result
Type 1 diabetes mellitus in asymptomatic children and adolescents was associated with impaired left ventricular longitudinal and radial systolic function, as well as diastolic dysfunction (P=0.02 for A-wave velocity).
Why the study?
Does type 1 diabetes mellitus cause subclinical left ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction in children and adolescents?
Observational (n=116)
Does type 1 diabetes mellitus cause subclinical left ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction in children and adolescents?
p-value: p=0.02
Children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus exhibit subclinical left ventricular longitudinal and radial systolic dysfunction, which may be associated with poor glycemic control.

May support early echocardiographic monitoring in pediatric T1DM; leaves open causality and long-term outcomes.
Altun et al. (2016) conducted an observational in Type 1 diabetes mellitus (n=116). Type 1 diabetes mellitus vs. Healthy subjects was evaluated on Left ventricular diastolic and systolic function parameters (A-wave velocity, E/A ratio, deceleration time, and strain) (p=0.02). Type 1 diabetes mellitus in asymptomatic children and adolescents was associated with impaired left ventricular longitudinal and radial systolic function, as well as diastolic dysfunction (P=0.02 for A-wave velocity).
