Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated that speckle tracking echocardiography detects impaired left ventricular function in asymptomatic patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Speckle tracking echocardiography is a new non invasive method for assessment of global and regional left ventricular function independently of cardiac angle. Before the advent of STE the only technique for angle independent assessment of left ventricular deformation and rotation was tagged cardiac magnetic resonance. Although tagged cardiac magnetic resonance remain the reference method for assessment of left ventricular deformation it’s use is limited by an inherent low frame rate acquisition ,high cost , time consuming andcomplex data analysis. This study was conducted at cardiovascular department tanta university hospital (from march 2015 to December 2015)The study includes two group. Control group 20 patients (11 males and 9 females) and studied (diabetic) group 40 patients (22 males and 18 females) with duration of type 2 diabetes mellitus ranged from 5-15 years.Both control and studied (diabetic) group were examined by speckle tracking echocardiography and it showed that there is a significant difference in average longitudinal strain between control and studied (diabetic) group with p value (0.001).LVEED in diabetic patients with average longitudinal strain ˂ -18 ranged from (3.3-5.5) this was significally lower than LVEED in diabetic patients with average longitudinal strain ˃ -18 which ranged from (4.1-6.4)with p value (0.001).
