Abstract

TDI is useful for detecting early cardiac impairment in patients with PM/DM. Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction is an early feature of cardiac involvement. Female sex, late onset, and long course of disease are 3 independent risk factors for predicting left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in patients with PM/DM.
