This retrospective case-control study aims to determine if patients with early-stage diabetic cardiomyopathy have subtle myocardial deformation usingspeckletracking echocardiogram. The two aims of the study are (1)to determine whether adult diabetic patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction have abnormalities in myocardial deformation and (2) to determine whether adult diabetic patients have impaired diastolic function as assessed by traditional methods as well as by novel method, i.e. left atrial strain, a measurement that has been shown to correlate with pulmonary capillary wedge pressure.
