  • Title: [Behavior of contractile and functional cardiac parameters of patients in the early stage of type I diabetes mellitus].
    Author: Schaller K.
    Journal: Z Gesamte Inn Med; 1986 Nov 01; 41(21):609-10. PubMed ID: 3825213.
    Abstract:
    The echocardiographically obtained data for contractility and function of the heart showed that patients with type I diabetes mellitus known up to 1 year at the age of 29 +/- 7 years showed more unfavourable parameters concerning the contraction fraction of the two chambers and the ejection fraction of the left ventricle and had also a larger diastolic diameter of the posterior wall, those patients were compared with persons with healthy metabolism aged 43 +/- 2 years. Since the two groups did not show any evidences as to cardiovascular diseases, the echocardiographic results might be explained as early symptoms of a diabetic cardiopathy.
