Arterial-ventricular coupling in type 1 diabetes: arterial stiffness is associated with impaired global longitudinal strain in type 1 diabetes patients —the Thousand & amp; 1 Study

ConclusionsIn T1D patients with normal LVEF and without known heart disease, higher arterial stiffness is independently associated with early systolic and diastolic myocardial impairment detectable by advanced echocardiography. Although unable to demonstrate causality, we display a relationship between diabetic angiopathy and diabetic cardiomyopathy (H-3-2009-139 and PROFIL-H-B-2009-056).
