| Abstract | ||
| Diabetes mellitus induces a pattern of myocardial pathology known as a specific diabetic cardiomyopathy and to evaluate the presence of this phenomenon we measured various parameters of left ventricular function by echocardiography as it is available in merjan teaching hospital , and these parameters including : 1. Ejection fraction 2. Fractional shortening 3. Inter-ventricular septal thickness 4. Posterior left ventricular wall thickness The results of our study show that diabetic patients have left ventricular dysfunction as compared with control group by a reduction in EF and FS and increase in the thickness of (IVS) and (pw) of the left ventricle.(The results are statistically significant, P < 0.005) . Although patients with non-insulin dependent diabetes developed left ventricular dysfunction more than patients with insulin dependent diabetes and female patients are more affected than male patients especially in NIDDM ( the difference is statistically not significant, P > 0.1). LVD occurs more frequently with prolonged duration of the disease in both types of diabetes (the difference is statistically not significant, P > 0.1). | ||
