Subclinical Alterations of Cardiac Mechanics Present Early in the Course of Pediatric Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus: A Prospective Blinded Speckle Tracking Stress Echocardiography Study

Figure 4

Left ventricular diastolic function (E/A-ratio) in relation to glycemic control. Type 1 diabetic children with poor glycemic control have echocardiographic evidence of impaired diastolic filling of the left ventricle in comparison to healthy control subjects.; values were calculated with Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests.
