Brief summary

Type 1 diabetes mellitus is a chronic autoimmune disease, associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. The development of cardiomyopathy in type 1 diabetes, independent of hypertension and coronary heart disease, is still controversial. A possible mechanism for diabetic cardiomyopathy is autonomic dysfunction. This study aims to evaluate cardiac function and structure, and to relate them with autonomic dysfunction in type 1 diabetes.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Preclinical myocardial dysfunctionAt patient inclusion.Incidence of patients with alteration in left ventricular myocardial strain (≤ 17% in absolute value).
Left ventricular diastolic dysfunctionAt patient inclusion.Incidence of patients with signs of diastolic dysfunction: average E/e' ratio (abnormal when \> 14)
Left ventricular hypertrophyAt patient inclusion.Incidence of patients with LV mass by linear measurements \> 95 g/m2 if women and \> 115 g/m2 if men.
Left atrial dysfunctionAt patient inclusion.Incidence of patients with abnormal reservoir strain (normal range: 38%-41%), or abnormal conduit strain (normal range: 21%-25%), or abnormal contractile strain (normal range: 16%-19%).
