Key result
Type 1 diabetes mellitus was associated with significantly reduced global longitudinal strain compared to healthy controls (-18.95% vs -20.91%, p<0.001), indicating early subclinical left ventricular systolic dysfunction.

Does type 1 diabetes mellitus cause subclinical left ventricular dysfunction in young asymptomatic patients?
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Young, asymptomatic patients with type 1 diabetes exhibit subclinical left ventricular systolic dysfunction detectable by reduced global longitudinal strain, which correlates with disease duration and poor glycemic control.

Mohamed Elsayed Abdelfattah (2019) conducted a case-control in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (n=100). Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus vs. Healthy controls was evaluated on Global longitudinal strain (GLS) (p=<0.001). Type 1 diabetes mellitus was associated with significantly reduced global longitudinal strain compared to healthy controls (-18.95% vs -20.91%, p<0.001), indicating early subclinical left ventricular systolic dysfunction.
