Abstract
Background: Impairment of cardiac function in patients with type1 Diabetes represents one of the serious complications. Tissue Doppler echocardiography is a recent modality of echocardiography which proved to have additional value in the evaluation of ventricular filling in diabetic patients. Objective: To evaluate the cardiac function in children with T1DM by conventional and tissue Doppler echocardiography. Method: In this cross-sectional study, echocardiography for 40 patients aged {u2265} 6 years with T1DM for > 5 years was done and compared with that of 20 healthy age and sex matched children. Also comparison between patients according to their glycemic control and dyslipidemia was done. Results: RV-DD was found in 12.5% of patients and LV-DD was found in 12.5% of other patients and only one patient had both RV-DD and LV-DD. Subjects showed a significant difference in AO, LVIDd, LVIDs and FS% by M-mode
