Abstract
AIM: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) involves complex metabolic disturbances in cardiomyocytes leading to morphological and functional abnormalities of the myocardium. The relationship between T1D and cardiac structure and function in children is not well established. Our study investigated whether T1D is associated with early subclinical myocardial disturbances in children and adolescents, and whether the state of metabolic control and diabetes duration are influential factors. METHODS: Standard echocardiography, tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) and two-dimensional (2D) strain imaging were prospectively performed in 100 T1D children (age: 11.3 ± 3.6 years, 52 boys) and compared with 79 controls. RESULTS: The diabetic and control children were comparable with respect to age, gender, heart rate and blood pressure. There were no significant differences between the two groups in left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction, LV remodelling and TDI parameters. Conventional mitral Doppler demonstrated significantly fewer diastolic filling abnormalities with an early filling wave in the diabetes group. Global longitudinal strain (GLS) was also significantly lower in the T1D children, while circumferential strain and radial strain did not differ. GLS correlated with HbA1c (r=0.52; P<0.01), but there was no correlation with diabetes duration. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that LV longitudinal myocardial deformation is decreased in young patients with T1D, and glycaemic control may be the main risk factor for these changes. Further follow-up is now necessary to precisely determine the clinical significance of these myocardial changes detected by 2D strain imaging in T1D children.
