Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a single-center, prospective, observational study to explore the clinical features and risk factors of impaired cardiac function detected by two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography in patients with diabetes mellitus. The risk factors include traditional cardiovascular risk factors, bone metabolism hormones, sex hormones, adrenal and pituitary hormones, and novel serum biomarkers.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Cardiovascular complications are a leading cause of death in patients with diabetes mellitus. However, early cardiovascular disease screening presents several challenges, particularly for those who have no cardiovascular symptoms. Novel imaging techniques, such as tissue Doppler imaging and speckle tracking echocardiography, allow for the more frequent detection of early subclinical left ventricular systolic dysfunction in asymptomatic patients with diabetes. Based on speckle tracking echocardiography and other techniques, this study evaluated cardiovascular function in diabetic subjects to achieve the following objectives:

A) Investigate the clinical characteristics of diabetic patients with early cardiovascular function impairment. B) Investigate the role of traditional cardiovascular risk factors, bone metabolism hormones, sex hormones, adrenal and pituitary hormones in diabetic patients with early cardiovascular function impairment. C) Explore novel biomarkers of early cardiovascular dysfunction in diabetic patients.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Normal cardiac function groups

Patients admitted to the hospital or recruited from the community with diabetes mellitus are screened for cardiovascular diseases by echocardiography. Global longitudinal strain (GLS) is measured by speckle tracking echocardiography. The 2015 American Society of Echocardiography guidelines recommended a mean of -20% for GLS in healthy subjects, while the upper normal limit is -18%. Therefore, the normal cardiac function groups are defined as GLS \< -18%.

Assessment of cardiovascular risk factor, endocrine hormones and related biomarker

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Cardiovascular risk factors: glycated hemoglobin/C-peptide/continuous glucose monitoring/blood pressure, blood lipids, uric acid, microalbumin test, etc. Endocrin hormones: bone metabolism, sex hormones, adrenal and pituitary hormones, and related biomarkers

Impaired cardiac function groups

Patients admitted to the hospital or recruited from the community with diabetes mellitus are screened for cardiovascular diseases by echocardiography. Global longitudinal strain (GLS) is measured by speckle tracking echocardiography. The 2015 American Society of Echocardiography guidelines recommended a mean of -20% for GLS in healthy subjects, while the upper normal limit is -18%. Therefore, the impaired cardiac function groups are defined as GLS ≥ -18%.

Assessment of cardiovascular risk factor, endocrine hormones and related biomarker
