Abstract
Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is the most common endocrinological disease in the world and its presence predicts an increased risk for development of cardiovascular disease, heart failure and death. Diabetic cardiomyopathy is currently defined as a diastolic dysfunction, and several studies of DM patients have identified left ventricle (LV) diastolic dysfunction as the earliest functional alteration in the course of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Several studies have identified tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) as a sensitive technique for the evaluation of diastolic and systolic myocardial dysfunction in diabetic patients even in the presence of normal cardiac function in conventional echocardiography. Echocardiographic techniques such 2D speckle tracking global longitudinal strain analysis permits early identification of LV systolic dysfunction despite preserved LV ejection fraction. It is a type of strain imaging and has advantage of calculating myocardial strain independent of angle of incidence. There is growing evidence that this modality provides cumulative information in the clinical setting.
