Implication

Cross-sectional study shows reduced right ventricular strain in type 2 diabetes, highlighting early cardiovascular risk.

Key Points

  • Subclinical right ventricular dysfunction is detectable in type 2 diabetes despite normal echocardiographic results.
  • Participants with diabetes displayed significantly lower RV global longitudinal strain (−13.86%) versus controls (−18.59%).
  • Cross-sectional assessment using speckle-tracking echocardiography pinpointed RV dysfunction indicators and correlated HbA1c to strain outcomes.
  • Early detection via RV GLS and RVFWS enhances risk stratification for cardiovascular issues in diabetic patients.
