Previous studies using Doppler and M-mode echocardiography have demonstrated that
abnormalities of left ventricular (LV) diastolic relaxation are sensitive markers
of early myocardial dysfunction. Tissue Doppler echocardiography and color M-mode
propagation velocity (Vp) are novel noninvasive techniques that provide an estimate
of LV relaxation

and are less dependent on preload.

Furthermore, mitral inflow early filling (E) can be used in conjunction with tissue
Doppler echocardiography early diastolic velocity (EM) and Vp to estimate LV filling pressures.

The present study examines whether subclinical diastolic dysfunction is found in
asymptomatic type 1 diabetic patients, and evaluates the relation between diastolic
dysfunction and glycemic control using novel echocardiographic techniques.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
