Impact of Myocardial Acceleration during Isovolumic Contraction in Evaluating Subclinical Right Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients

Abstract

Diabetes is associated with subclinical RV systolic dysfunction, regardless of coexisting hypertension. Tissue Doppler-derived IVA; is a novel, non-invasive parameter which may be used in early detection of RV systolic dysfunction in patients with DM.
