[PMID: 38706533 PMCID: PMC11068145 DOI: 10.1097/xce.0000000000000301] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2023] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 05/07/2024]
Abstract
Introduction Obesity and its metabolic complications can impact the heart's structure and function in childhood, although demonstrating this impact has been challenging. New echocardiographic parameters such as left atrial strain (LAε) and left ventricular strain (LVε), as well as myocardial work (MW), could reveal subclinical alterations in cardiac function. Objective The aim is to evaluate the feasibility of these parameters in adolescents with severe obesity and explore their associations with body fat, metabolic comorbidities, and physical capacity. Methods This is a cross-sectional study in adolescents with obesity who underwent echocardiography with analysis of LAε, LVε and MW using speckle tracking. Feasibility and association with anthropometry, body fat percentage, comorbidities and cardiopulmonary test were analyzed. Results Twenty adolescents were recruited, 13 (65%) were males, median age 14.2 (interquartile range: 12.9-14.9) years old. The median Z-score for BMI (zBMI) was +3.03 (2.87-3.14), 14 (70%) had severe obesity (zBMI ≥+3), 12 (60%) body fat ≥95th percentile, 9 (45%) high blood pressure (HBP) and 8 (40%) metabolic syndrome. The analysis of the echocardiographic parameters was feasible in 95% (LAε) and 100% (LVε and MW). LVε was lower in adolescents with vs. without metabolic syndrome: 17.8% (17.5-19.3%) vs. 19.3% (18.3-20.3%), P = 0.046; and with vs. without HBP 17.8% (17.5-18.6%) vs. 19.7% (18.4-20.3%), P = 0.02. Those with body fat ≥95th percentile had lower LAε and MW parameters, without association with cardiopulmonary test. Conclusion Echocardiographic evaluation of LAε, LVε and MW is feasible in adolescents with severe obesity. A higher proportion of body fat and the presence of comorbidities are associated with alterations in these new echocardiographic functional parameters suggesting myocardial impact of higher metabolic compromise.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Overweightness is a considerable step in the process leading to obesity. There are no sufficient studies on the effect of cardiomyopathy defined in obese patients about overweight subjects. We thought that it may be useful to examine the myocardial involvement in overweight individuals electro-mechanically with more sensitive techniques before the development of obesity cardiomyopathy. AIM The aim of the present study was to demonstrate whether or not there are subclinical left ventricular (LV) electrical and mechanical dysfunctions in overweight patients using frontal QRS-T (fQRS-T) angle (electrically) and 3D-speckle tracking echocardiography (mechanically). METHODS A total of 80 overweight patients and 80 age- and sex-matched normal weight individuals were enrolled into the study. 3D-STE examinations of the patients were performed. Electrocardiographic recordings were obtained for fQRS-T angle assessment. RESULTS The LV-GLS and LV-GCS were significantly depressed in the overweight group than in the normal weight group (-14.5 ± 3.4 vs. -21.7 ± 3.6, p < .001; -15.2 ± 4.6 vs. -24.3 ± 4.8, p < .001, respectively). The fQRS-T angle was found to be increased in the overweight group (142.5 ± 39.2 vs. 114.7 ± 43.5, p = < .001). Statistically significant positive linear correlations were observed between BMI with LV-GLS, LV-GCS, and fQRS-T angle. LV-GLS and LV-GCS were found to be disrupted linearly as BMI increased (r = .718 for BMI and LV-GLS, r = .653 for BMI and LV-GCS). As BMI increased, it was found that the fQRS-T angle increased (r = .692 for BMI and fQRS-T angle). CONCLUSION Our results support that, overweight individuals, despite their being apparently healthy, may have subclinical LV myocardial mechanical and electrical dysfunction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Children with type one diabetes mellitus (T1DM) may have subclinical myocardial insults but large heterogeneity exists among the reports. This study aimed to compare myocardial strain values of the left ventricle (LV) in paediatric patients with T1DM without overt cardiac disease and healthy controls. METHODS Five databases (MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science and Cochrane central register of controlled trials) were searched from inception to March 30, 2020. The studies reporting two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography in asymptomatic T1DM paediatric patients and control groups were included. Pooled mean strain values in each group and mean difference (MD) between the two groups for LV global longitudinal strain (LVGLS) and LV global circumferential strain (LVGCS) were assessed using a random effects model. RESULTS Ten studies (755 T1DM and 610 control) with LVGLS were included with 6 studies having LVGCS (534 T1DM and 403 control). Patients with T1DM had overall 3 percentage points lower LVGLS than healthy subjects (18.4 %, 95 % confidence interval [17.1, 19.6] vs 21.5 % [20.3, 22.7], MD = -3.01 [-4.30, -1.71]). A similar result was seen in LVGCS (18.7 % [15.4, 22.0] vs. 21.4 % [18.1, 24.6], MD = -3.10[-6.47, 0.26]) but not statistically significant. Meta-regression identified those with higher Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) had worse GLS. CONCLUSIONS Subclinical LV dysfunction among patients with T1DM occurs as early as in their childhood, while even EF is preserved. The longitudinal cardiac function is altered, but not the circumferential. GLS can be used to detect subclinical LV systolic dysfunction in paediatric population.

Impact of overweight and obesity on epicardial adipose tissue in children with type 1 diabetes. J Pediatr Endocrinol Metab 2023; 36:371-377. [PMID: 36829271 DOI: 10.1515/jpem-2022-0412] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2022] [Accepted: 02/06/2023] [Indexed: 02/26/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) thickness, a novel marker of cardiovascular disease (CVD), is increased in children with a healthy weight and type 1 diabetes (T1D). The prevalence of obesity has increased in children with T1D and may confer additional CVD risk. The purpose of this study was to examine EAT thickness in youth with and without T1D in the setting of overweight/obesity. METHODS Youth with overweight/obesity and T1D (n=38) or without T1D (n=34) between the ages of 6-18 years were included in this study. Echocardiogram using spectral and color flow Doppler was used to measure EAT and cardiac function. Waist circumference, blood pressure, and HbA1c, were used to calculate estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) to estimate insulin resistance in children with T1D. RESULTS EAT thickness was not significantly different in youth with T1D compared to controls (2.10 ± 0.67 mm vs. 1.90 ± 0.59 mm, p=0.19). When groups were combined, EAT significantly correlated with age (r=0.449, p≤0.001), BMI (r=0.538, p≤0.001), waist circumference (r=0.552, p≤0.001), systolic BP (r=0.247, p=0.036), myocardial performance index (r=-0.287, p=0.015), ejection fraction (r=-0.442, p≤0.001), and cardiac output index (r=-0.306, p=0.009). In the group with T1D, diastolic BP (r=0.39, p=0.02) and eGDR (r=-0.48, p=0.002) correlated with EAT. CONCLUSIONS EAT was associated with measures of adiposity and insulin resistance but does not differ by diabetes status among youth with overweight/obesity. These findings suggest that adiposity rather than glycemia is the main driver of EAT thickness among youth with T1D.

Abstract
Background Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and accompany asymptomatic deterioration of the myocardial function. This study aims to identify the subclinical impact of GDM on maternal left ventricular function by two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE). Methods We prospectively recruited 47 women with GDM and 62 healthy pregnant women who underwent transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) at 24 to 28 weeks of pregnancy. GDM diagnosis agreed with the IADPSG criteria. TTE was performed according to the criteria of the American Society of Echocardiography. Conventional echocardiographic data and 2D-STE parameters were compared between the two groups. Results Age, gestational weeks, heart rate, and conventional echocardiographic parameters had no difference between the two groups. The average LV global longitudinal strain (LV-GLS) of GDM patients was lower than controls (18.14 ± 2.53 vs. 22.36 ± 6.33, p < 0.001), and 31 patients (66%) in our study had an absolute LV-GLS less than 20%. The LA reservoir and conduit strain in patients with GDM were also significantly reduced (32.71 ± 6.64 vs. 38.00 ± 7.06, 20.41 ± 5.69 vs. 25.56 ± 5.73, p < 0.001). However, there was no significant difference in LA contractile function between the two groups. In multiple regression analysis, LV-GLS and LA conduit strain independently associated with GDM. Conclusions 2D-STE could detect the subclinical myocardial dysfunction more sensitively than conventional echocardiography, with LV-GLS and LA conduit strain as independent indicators of the GDM impact on maternal cardiac function during pregnancy.

Abstract
We aimed to examine the relationship between epicardial fat thickness (EFT) measured by echocardiography and cardiovascular functional parameters in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). The study included 50 type 1 diabetic children and 50 healthy subjects matched by sex, age, and body mass index. In addition to laboratory tests, all participants underwent transthoracic echocardiography for EFT, cardiac dimensions and left ventricular functions, and ultrasonographic examination for brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD) response and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT). Multivariate linear regression was used to analyze the relationship between EFT and CIMT, FMD, lateral mitral E' velocity, and mitral E/E' ratio. EFT was significantly increased in diabetic children compared with controls (P < 0.001). In comparison with controls diabetic children had significantly increased mitral A, decreased lateral mitral E', decreased mitral E/A ratio, decreased lateral mitral E'/A' ratio, and increased mitral E/E' ratio (P < 0.001). FMD response was significantly lower in diabetic group versus controls (P < 0.001) and CIMT was significantly increased in diabetics versus controls (P = 0.03). EFT was negatively correlated with lateral mitral E' velocity (r = - 0.613, P < 0.001), positively correlated with mitral E/E' ratio (r = 0.60, P < 0.001), positively correlated with CIMT (r = 0.881, P < 0.001), and negatively correlated with FMD (r = - 0.533, P < 0.001). By multivariate regression analysis, the EFT was independently and positively associated with CIMT mean and E/E' mean and negatively associated with FMD mean and E' mean. The cut-off point for EFT as predictor of endothelial dysfunction was 6.95 mm. Our findings suggest that children with T1DM have subclinical LV diastolic and vascular endothelial dysfunctions associated with increased EFT.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to evaluate the role of real-time three-dimensional (known as four-dimensional) echocardiography and three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography for the early detection of left ventricular systolic dysfunction in asymptomatic children with type 1 diabetes mellitus. MATERIALS AND METHOD This cross-sectional study included 38 patients (mean age 15.4 ± 2.9, 42.1% male) and 38 age, gender, and body measurements matched healthy children. Each patient underwent an interview about medical history, a detailed clinical examination, blood laboratory tests, conventional echocardiography, and tissue Doppler imaging. Left ventricular ejection fraction; global longitudinal, circumferential, radial strain; twist; and torsion were measured by real-time three-dimensional and speckle-tracking echocardiography. RESULTS Conventional echocardiography and tissue Doppler imaging showed normal left ventricular systolic function in the patients. Although left ventricular ejection fraction (61.6 ± 1.4%, 61.8 ± 1.1%, p = 0.386), global longitudinal [-26.6 (-27.7 to -26.1)%, -26.2 (-27.7 to -24.9)%, p = 0.224], and radial strain [44.4 (42.4-45.9)%, 43.9 (41-46.1)%, p = 0.513] were similar to the controls, circumferential strain (-27.3 ± 1.3%, -28.0 ± 1.6%, p = 0.048) and twist (9.5 ± 2.3°, 11.4 ± 3.0°, p = 0.003) were decreased in the patients compared with controls. CONCLUSION We found that even in children with asymptomatic type 1 diabetes mellitus with normal left ventricular ejection fraction, circumferential function was impaired and rotation pattern was changed. This novel echocardiographic method might be an important tool for detecting left ventricular systolic dysfunction in type 1 diabetes mellitus children before it becomes overt on conventional echocardiography and tissue Doppler imaging.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE The links between maternal and offspring adiposity and metabolic status are well established. There is much less evidence for the impact of these relationships combined with ethnic background on cardiac structure and function in childhood. OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that ethnicity, maternal adiposity and glycemic status, and child adiposity affect cardiac structure and function. DESIGN A prospective cohort study. SETTING A single-center mother-child cohort study. The cohort is a subset of the international multi-center Hyperglycemia and Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes (HAPO) study. PARTICIPANTS This study included 101 healthy pre-pubertal British-born children [56 White Europeans (WEs) and 45 South Asians (SAs)] with a median age of 9.1 years, range 6.0-12.2 years, at the time of the investigation. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Anthropometric and echocardiographic measurements were made on the cohort. Maternal pregnancy and birth data were available. Relationships between maternal parameters (BMI and glucose status), child adiposity, and echo measures were assessed. RESULTS Despite no ethnic difference in BMI SDS at a median age of 9.1 years, SA children exhibited higher levels of body fat than WE children (whole body, right arm, and truncal fat all p < 0.001). SA children also exhibited greater changes in weight and height SDS but not BMI SDS from birth than WE children. As expected, maternal BMI correlated with child BMI (r = 0.28; p = 0.006), and body fat measures (e.g., whole body fat r = 0.25; p = 0.03). Maternal fasting glucose levels were associated with child body fat measures (r = 0.22-0.28; p = 0.02-0.05). Left ventricular (LV) indices were not different between SA and WE children, but E/A and E'/A' (measures of diastolic function) were lower in SA when compared with WE children. LV indices correlated positively to BMI SDS and body fat markers only in SA children. Maternal fasting and 2-h glucose were negatively correlated with E'/A' in SA children (r = -0.53, p = 0.015, and r = -0.49, p = 0.023, respectively) but not in WE children. CONCLUSION AND RELEVANCE SA and WE children exhibit differences in adiposity and diastolic function at a median age of 9.1 years. Novel relationships between maternal glycemia, child adiposity, and cardiac structure and function, present only in SA children, were identified.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a chronic disease with peak incidence in adolescence; it has a major impact on morbidity and mortality, especially cardiovascular. Diabetic cardiomyopathy is characterized by structural and functional lesions in the absence of other diseases and is involved in the progression to heart failure. Echocardiography has led to the identification of early cardiac lesions, despite controversial results in the literature in patients with T1D. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to assess cardiac changes in individuals with TD1 compared to the control group using conventional two-dimensional Doppler and advanced speckle tracking echocardiography. METHODS This is a case-control study with 40 asymptomatic, normotensive T1D patients aged 20 to 50 years and 40 healthy subjects. Two-dimensional echocardiography was performed to measure myocardial thickness and cardiac chambers. Tissue Doppler echocardiography was used for diastolic analysis and speckle tracking echocardiography to quantify ventricular systolic function. RESULTS The mean age was 33 years in both groups, with an average T1D duration of 18 years; 20% of patients with T1D had diabetic retinopathy; 12.5% kidney injury; and 10% peripheral neuropathy. There were differences in the left ventricular diastolic function parameters (lateral E', middle E' and S/D ratio) and right ventricle (tricuspid E and tricuspid E'/A' ratio). The mean value of the global longitudinal strain was -21.7% (+- 2.3) in the T1D group and -21.0% (+-2.0) in the control group (p=0.21). CONCLUSION Echocardiography revealed a reduction in indices of diastolic function in T1D compared to the control group, which may be the initial cardiac lesion in diabetes.

Heart Failure in Type 1 Diabetes: A Complication of Concern? A Narrative Review. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10194497. [PMID: 34640518 PMCID: PMC8509458 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10194497] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2021] [Revised: 09/19/2021] [Accepted: 09/24/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Heart failure (HF) has been a hot topic in diabetology in the last few years, mainly due to the central role of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (iSGLT2) in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease and heart failure. It is well known that HF is a common complication in diabetes. However, most of the knowledge about it and the evidence of cardiovascular safety trials with antidiabetic drugs refer to type 2 diabetes (T2D). The epidemiology, etiology, and pathophysiology of HF in type 1 diabetes (T1D) is still not well studied, though there are emerging data about it since life expectancy for T1D has increased in the last decades and there are more elderly patients with T1D. The association of T1D and HF confers a worse prognosis than in T2D, thus it is important to investigate the characteristics, risk factors, and pathophysiology of this disease in order to effectively design prevention strategies and therapeutic tools.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Multiple daily injections (MDI) and continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) are two modalities of treating type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). The benefits of CSII on long-term metabolic control and outcomes compared to those of MDI are still debated. We investigated both vascular function and myocardial performance in T1DM adolescents on MDI or CSII treatment. METHODS One hundred twenty-three T1DM subjects (mean age 14.16±2.55 years), 63 on MDI regimen, 60 on CSII, and 57 controls were enrolled. Anthropometric and biochemical characteristics were evaluated. Ultrasound assessments of carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), flow-mediated dilatation of brachial artery, anteroposterior diameter of the infrarenal abdominal aorta (APAO), and transthoracic echocardiography were performed. RESULTS T1DM subjects on the CSII regimen showed better glycemic control than those on MDI, expressed as glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c). c-IMT and APAO were higher in MDI than CSII patients (0.61±0.11 mm vs. 0.56±0.07 mm, p=0.04; 13.61±3.29 mm vs. 11.65±1.84 mm, p=0.01, respectively). Left and right Tei index and left E/e' ratio were higher in MDI than CSII subjects (0.82±0.40 vs. 0.52±0.19, p=0.002; 0.86±0.41 vs. 0.64±0.1, p=0.02; 5.89±2.0 vs. 4.73±1.59, p=0.02, respectively). Multiple regression analyses showed that glucose level, HbA1c and diabetes onset were significantly related to vascular and echocardiographic parameters in MDI and CSII patients. CONCLUSIONS CSII regimen in T1DM adolescents improves glycemic control and seems to ameliorate endothelial function and global myocardial performance as compared to MDI therapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a chronic disease with peak incidence in adolescence; it has a major impact on morbidity and mortality, especially cardiovascular. Diabetic cardiomyopathy is characterized by structural and functional lesions in the absence of other diseases and is involved in the progression to heart failure. Echocardiography has led to the identification of early cardiac lesions, despite controversial results in the literature in patients with T1D. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to assess cardiac changes in individuals with TD1 compared to the control group using conventional two-dimensional Doppler and advanced speckle tracking echocardiography. METHODS This is a case-control study with 40 asymptomatic, normotensive T1D patients aged 20 to 50 years and 40 healthy subjects. Two-dimensional echocardiography was performed to measure myocardial thickness and cardiac chambers. Tissue Doppler echocardiography was used for diastolic analysis and speckle tracking echocardiography to quantify ventricular systolic function. RESULTS The mean age was 33 years in both groups, with an average T1D duration of 18 years; 20% of patients with T1D had diabetic retinopathy; 12.5% kidney injury; and 10% peripheral neuropathy. There were differences in the left ventricular diastolic function parameters (lateral E', middle E' and S/D ratio) and right ventricle (tricuspid E and tricuspid E'/A' ratio). The mean value of the global longitudinal strain was -21.7% (+- 2.3) in the T1D group and -21.0% (+-2.0) in the control group (p=0.21). CONCLUSION Echocardiography revealed a reduction in indices of diastolic function in T1D compared to the control group, which may be the initial cardiac lesion in diabetes.

Abstract
AIMS To compare left ventricular structure (LV) and diastolic function in young adults with youth- onset diabetes by type, determine the prevalence of abnormal diastolic function by diabetes type using published values from age similar healthy controls, and examine the risk factors associated with diastolic function. METHODS In a cross sectional analysis we compared LV structure and diastolic function from two dimensional echocardiogram in participants with type 1 (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) who participated in the SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth Study. Linear models were used to examine the risk factors associated with worse diastolic function. RESULTS Of 479 participants studied, 258 had T1D (mean age 21.2 ± 5.2 years, 60.5% non-Hispanic white, 53.9% female) and 221 had T2D (mean age 24.8 ± 4.3 years, 24.4% non-Hispanic white, 73.8% female). Median diabetes duration was 11.6 years. Participants with T2D had greater LV mass index and worse diastolic function that persisted after adjustment for differences in risk factors compared with participants with T1D (all p < 0.05). Abnormal diastolic function, quantified using healthy controls, was pronounced in both groups but greater in those with T2D than T1D (T2D: 57.7% vs T1D: 47.2%, respectively), p < 0.05. Risk factors associated with worse diastolic function included older age at diabetes diagnosis, female sex, higher BP, heart rate and HbA1c and longer diabetes duration. CONCLUSIONS LV structure and diastolic function is worse in individuals with T2D compared to T1D. However, abnormal diastolic function in seen in both groups compared to published values from age similar healthy controls.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Cardiovascular diseases and exercise intolerance elevate mortality in type 1 diabetes (T1D). Left ventricular systolic and diastolic function are already affected in T1DM adolescents, displaying poor glycemic control (glycated hemoglobin [A1C]>7.5%) and exercise intolerance. We investigated to the extent to which left ventricular function is affected by disease severity/duration and whether this is related to exercise capacity. METHODS Transthoracic echocardiography was performed in 19 T1DM adolescents (14.8±1.9 years old, A1C 7.4±0.9%) and 19 controls (14.4±1.3 years old, A1C 5.3±0.2%), matched for age and Tanner stage. Diastolic and systolic (ejection fraction [EF]) function were assessed. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing was used to evaluate exercise capacity, as measured by peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak). RESULTS VO2peak and left ventricular systolic and diastolic function were similar in both groups. Within the T1D group, EF was negatively associated with disease duration (r=-0.79 corrected for age, standardized body mass index, glucose variability and VO2peak; p=0.011). Regression analyses revealed that 37.6% of the variance in EF could be attributed to disease duration. CONCLUSIONS Although left ventricular systolic and diastolic function are preserved in T1D with adequate exercise capacity, disease duration negatively affects EF. The detrimental effects of T1D seem to be driven by disease duration, rather than by disease severity, at least during adolescence. Young T1D patients may, therefore, benefit from cardiovascular evaluation in order to detect cardiovascular abnormalities early in the disease course, and therefore, improve long-term cardiovascular health.

Abstract
As it has been proven, cardiovascular diseases are several times more common in diabetic
patients than in the general population. Despite many studies and hypotheses, is still not
explained why this happens. Considering the frequent coexistence of cardiovascular risk
factors with diabetes, the identification of diabetic cardiomyopathy as an independent
complication is controversial, and diagnosis in clinical practice is rare. Nevertheless, the
presence of diabetes significantly worsens the course and prognosis of cardiovascular diseases,
and a better understanding of the diabetic component in the development of heart
failure seems essential in the search for an effective therapy. The pathogenetic factors of
the development of heart failure in diabetes include: metabolic disorders related to hyperglycaemia,
lipotoxicity, insulin resistance, oxidative stress, immune system dysfunction,
genetic predisposition and epigenetic disorders. The clinical pictures of diabetic cardiomyopathy
vary depending on the type of diabetes, and dysfunction includes not only the cells of the myocardium, as well as stromal cells, endothelial and nervous system cells.
The long-term and asymptomatic course of this complication and its progressive nature
shortening the lives of diabetic patients prompt the search for new diagnostic and therapeutic
methods. A better understanding of the molecular basis of myocardial dysfunction
in diabetes appears essential in the search. Stopping the “cascade” of pathways responsible
for activation of inflammation, fibrosis or apoptosis in individual organs could effectively
prevent the development of diabetic complications. The paper presents existing
pathogenetic concepts and their therapeutic implications, which may be used in the prevention
of cardiovascular complications in diabetes and allow individualization of therapy.

Abstract
Premature onset of cardiovascular disease is common in people with type 1 diabetes and is relatively understudied in youth. Several reports in adolescents and young adults with diabetes demonstrate evidence of arterial stiffness and cardiac dysfunction, yet critical gaps exist in our current understanding of the temporal progression of cardiac and vascular dysfunction in these youth, and mechanistic investigations with robust pathophysiologic assessment are lacking. This review attempts to summarize relevant cardiovascular studies concerning children, adolescents, and young adults with type 1 diabetes. We focus on imaging-based biomarkers routinely applied to youth and adults that are well-established in their ability to predict adjudicated cardiovascular outcomes, and their relevant physiologic interpretation. Particularly, we focus the attention to 1) cardiac ventricular strain imaging techniques which are known to be predictive of clinical outcomes in patients with heterogenous causes of heart failure, and 2) stiffness in large arteries, a well-established prognostic marker of cardiovascular events. We conclude that there remains an urgent need for sensitive and quantitative biomarkers to define the natural history of cardiac and vascular disease origination and progression in type 1 diabetes, and set the stage for interpreting interventional studies focused on preventing, reversing or slowing disease progression.

Abstract
Early-onset cardiomyopathy is a major concern for people with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM). Studies examining myocardial deformation indices early in the disease process in people with have provided conflicting results. Accordingly, the objective was to examine left ventricular (LV) function in adolescents with type 1 DM using novel measures of cardiomyopathy, termed ventricular discoordination indices, including systolic stretch fraction (SSF), and our newly developed diastolic relaxation fraction (DRF). Adolescents with DM (n = 16) and healthy controls (n = 20) underwent cardiac MRI (CMR) tissue tracking analysis for standard volumetric and functional analysis. Segment-specific circumferential strain and strain rate indices were evaluated to calculate standard mechanical dyssynchrony and discoordination. SSF and DRF were calculated from strain rate data. There were no global or regional group differences between participants with DM and controls in standard LV strain mechanics. However, youth with DM had lower diastolic strain rate around the inferior septal and free wall region (all p <0.05) as well as higher SSF (p = 0.03) and DRF (p <0.001) compared with controls. None of the CMR indices correlated with HbA1c or diabetes duration. In conclusion, our results suggest that adolescents with DM have LV systolic and diastolic discoordination, providing early evidence of cardiomyopathy despite their young age. The presence of discoordination in the setting of normal LV size and function suggests that the proposed novel discoordination indices could serve as a more sensitive marker of cardiomyopathy than previously employed mechanical deformation indices.

Abstract
The prevalence of diabetes mellitus is rising among children and adolescents worldwide. Cardiovascular diseases are the main cause of morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients. We review the impact of diabetes on establishing, during childhood and adolescence, the premises for cardiovascular diseases later in life. Interestingly, it seems that hyperglycemia is not the only factor that establishes an increased cardiovascular risk in adolescence. Other factors have been recognized to play a role in triggering the onset of latent cardiovascular diseases in the pediatric population. Among these cardiovascular risk factors, some are modifiable: glucose variability, hypoglycemia, obesity, insulin resistance, waist circumference, hypertension, dyslipidemia, smoking alcohol, microalbuminuria and smoking. Others are unmodifiable, such as diabetes duration and family history. Among the etiological factors, subclinical endothelial dysfunction represents one of the earliest key players of atherosclerosis and it can be detected during early ages in patients with diabetes. A better assessment of cardiovascular risk in pediatric population still represents a challenge for clinicians, and thus further efforts are required to properly identify and treat pediatric patients who may suffer from cardiovascular disease later in early adulthood.

Abstract
Background Patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) often develop atherosclerosis at an early age. In the subclinical stage of the process, minimal/non-morphological changes can be noticed, but the arterial wall function can be impaired. Applanation tonometry allows to assess the arterial tree stiffness; however, the Two-Dimensional Speckle Tracking (2DST) is an increasingly accepted alternative. This study evaluated arterial wall stiffness using these 2 techniques in children with T1DM. Material/Methods We performed applanation tonometry and carotid arteries sonography with evaluation of the carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) and use of the 2DST in 50 children with T1DM and in 50 healthy sex- and age-matched controls. We also assessed the reliability of 2DST in 10 random subjects. Results Children with T1DM had increased arterial wall stiffness, which was confirmed by tonometry (PWV: p=0.0386) and 2DST (Strain: p=0.0004; Strain rate: p=0.0081). There was no significant difference in cIMT between groups (0.45±0.06 vs. 0.43±0.05, p=0.073 in children with T1DM and controls, respectively). 2DST presented good intraclass correlation coefficient between researchers and within a single researcher. Conclusions Children with T1DM presenting with subclinical stage of atherosclerosis were found to have arterial wall stiffening. The 2DST, the same as applanation tonometry, allows to recognize this condition but in a more accessible and reproducible manner.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Obesity is associated with cardiovascular risk factors and is a major predictor of cardiovascular disease and mortality. This global burden affects myocardial function by inducing structural and functional alterations. Although subclinical left ventricular (LV) dysfunction is known in obese subjects, there is not sufficient information about overweight people. The aim of the present study was to evaluate subclinical LV dysfunction in overweight people with three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (3D-STE). METHODS One hundred eighteen consecutive patients between 18 and 80 years old were enrolled into the study. Patients were divided into three groups according to body mass index (BMI): normal (BMI: 18.5-24.9 kg/m2) (n=35), overweight (BMI: 25-29.9 kg/m2) (n=43), and obese (BMI ≥30 kg/m2) (n=40). 3D-STE was performed, and global longitudinal strain (GLS), global circumferential strain (GCS), global radial strain (GRS), and global area strain (GAS) were measured. 3D-STE results were compared between the groups. RESULTS The mean age of the patients was 60.97+-8.94 years, and 55.1% of the patient population were male. Mean GCS was -13.5, GLS was -11.9, GRS was 32.3, and GAS was -22. As BMI increased, GCS and all other strain parameters were significantly worse [p<0.001 (normal-overweight), p<0.001 (normal-obese), and p<0.001 (overweight-obese) for GCS, GLS, GRS, and GAS]. A positive linear correlation was observed between BMI and all measured strain parameters (r=0.673, p<0.001 for BMI and GCS). CONCLUSION 3D-STE is a non-invasive parameter to detect subclinical LV dysfunction, and global strain values are significantly correlated with BMI. Subclinical LV dysfunction was detected in overweight people in addition to obese subjects.

Impact of acute hyperglycemia on layer-specific left ventricular strain in asymptomatic diabetic patients: an analysis based on two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2019; 18:68.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperglycemia has detrimental effect on ischemic myocardium, but the impact of acute hyperglycemia on the myocardium in asymptomatic diabetic patients has not been fully elucidated. Thus, this follow-up study was aimed to investigate the effects and reversibility of acute hyperglycemia on regional contractile function of left ventricle (LV) in diabetic patients without cardiovascular disease. METHODS The two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE), including multilayer strain analysis, was used for evaluation of global and regional LV function in asymptomatic, normotensive patients with uncomplicated diabetes, with acute hyperglycemia ( ≥ 11.1 mmol/l) (Group A, n = 67), or with optimal metabolic control (fasting plasma glucose < 7 mmol/l and HbA1c < 7%) (Group B, n = 20), while 20 healthy individuals served as controls (Group C). In group A, after 72 h of i.v. continuous insulin treatment (at the time euglycemia was achieved) (second examination) and after 3 months following acute hyperglycemia (third examination) 2D-STE was repeated. RESULTS Global longitudinal strain (GLS) (- 19.6 ± 0.4%) in Group A was significantly lower in comparison to both groups B (- 21.3 ± 0.4%; p < 0.05) and C (- 21.9 ± 0.4%; p < 0.01) at baseline, while we could not detect the differences between groups B and C. Peak systolic longitudinal endocardial (Endo), mid-myocardial (Mid) and epicardial (Epi) layer strain were significantly lower in group A at baseline compared to both groups B and C. Deterioration in peak systolic circumferential strain was observed at basal LV level, in all three layers (Endo, Mid and Epi) and in mid-cavity LV level in Epi layer in group A in comparison to group C. Moreover, in group A, after euglycemia was achieved (at second and third examination) GLS, as well as peak longitudinal and circumferential strain remain the same. CONCLUSION Acute hyperglycemia in asymptomatic diabetic patients has significant negative effects on systolic LV myocardial mechanics primarily by reducing GLS and multilayer peak systolic longitudinal and circumferential strain which was not reversible after three months of good glycemic control.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Stable angina pectoris is a common disease that may cause disability. Some noninvasive new methods can be useful for the detection of early-stage coronary artery disease. The relationship between coronary artery disease (CAD) severity and resting 3-dimensional-speckle tracking echocardiography (3D-STE) in stable angina pectoris patients was evaluated in this study. METHODS One hundred and twenty consecutive patients between 18-80 years of age and without a history of CAD to whom elective coronary angiography was planned after positive stress test or myocardial perfusion scintigraphy were enrolled in the study. 3D-STE was performed and global longitudinal strain (GLS), global circumferential strain (GCS), global radial strain (GRS), and global area strain (GAS) were measured before coronary angiography. A Gensini score of ≥20 was accepted as critical CAD. Correlation between Gensini scores and 3D-STE results were evaluated. RESULTS Mean age was 60.7 ± 10.01 years, and 55% of the patient population were male. There were not any significant differences between critical CAD and noncritical CAD groups for age, gender, history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, and Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction. Mean GLS was -12, GCS was -18.8, GRS was 33.4, GAS was -28.9, and mean Gensini score was 18.8. GLS and all other strain parameters were significantly worse in patients with critical CAD group compared with noncritical CAD group and also positive linear correlation was observed between Gensini score and all measured strain parameters (r = 0.568, P < 0.001 for Gensini score and GLS; r = 0.617, P < 0.001 for Gensini score and GAS). A GLS value of >-10 has 88.9% sensitivity and 92.9% specificity; A GAS value of >-21 has 97.2% sensitivity and 88.1% specificity to detect critical CAD. CONCLUSIONS 3D-STE is a noninvasive and handy parameter to detect subclinical left ventricular dysfunction and global strain values were significantly correlated with CAD severity. GAS has the sensitivity of 97.2% and specificity of 88.1% to detect critical CAD. Adding 3D strain echocardiography to exercise test or myocardial perfusion scintigraphy might increase sensitivity to detect critical CAD in clinical practice.

Abstract
Objectives: Masked hypertension (MH) is not uncommon in the youth and may increase risks of long-term cardiovascular impairment. However, little is known about the subclinical heart damage in this group of patients. Currently, 3-layer speckle tracking imaging based on two-dimensional echocardiography is feasible to detect the early signs of myocardial damage. We therefore aimed to investigate whether subtle changes of cardiac function occurred in the young MH patients by using advanced quantification with layer-specific speckle tracking. Methods: A total of 40 adolescents with MH (age 18 ± 3 years, 73% males) and 40 age-, gender-, race-, and height-matched normotensive volunteers were enrolled in our study. MH was defined as one or more of the ambulatory blood pressure (BP) parameters (24-h, daytime and night-time average BPs) higher than ≥ 95th percentile for gender and height according to the local reference. Both comprehensive two-dimensional echocardiography with layer-specific strain analysis and 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring were performed. Longitudinal strain and circumferential strain in endocardial, mid-myocardial, and epicardial layers were determined accordingly with the dedicated software (EchoPAC software version 201, GE Healthcare, Horten, Norway). Results: Compared with normotensive controls, youths with MH had higher ambulatory pulse rate and left ventricular mass index, and were more obese. Interestingly, similar ventricular volumes and ejection fraction were observed in the study groups, but further analysis with layer-specific strains revealed that endocardial and mid-myocardial longitudinal and circumferential mechanical function were decreased in the young MH subjects when compared to normotensive individuals (all p < 0.05). However, there were no difference regarding radial strain and apical rotation derived from traditional speckle tracking analysis. Conclusion: Subclinical change of LV mechanic function assessed by layer-specific speckle tracking is present in youth with MH despite considered as normal with conventional ways.Thus, MH in youth should be monitored closely instead of labeling as an entirely benign entity.
