Overview
Although echocardiography is not routine for diagnosis of diabetes mellitus type 1, there are some echocardiography findings which are related to cardiologic complications of diabetes mellitus type 1, such as diabetic cardiomyopathy. Left ventricular hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction are two common findings on echocardiography.
Echocardiography
There are some echocardiography findings associated with diabetes mellitus type 1 which may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of [[diabetes mellitus type 1] such as diabetic cardiomyopathy and valvular changes. The possible echocardiography findings include:[1][2][3]
- Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH):
- Numerous studies confirm the presence of LVH in early years of diabetes mellitus type 1 or even in prediabetes
- Diastolic dysfunction
