Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Changes in left atrial (LA) function can be observed in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Three-dimensional (3-D) speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) seems to be a promising tool for volumetric and functional evaluation of LA. The objective of the present study was to compare 3DSTE-derived LA volumetric and strain parameters between T1DM patients and matched healthy controls.
