First seen Jun 03, 2026 · Last updated Jun 11, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tested whether a special heart ultrasound (speckle tracking strain echocardiography) can detect early heart muscle changes in 61 adults with type 1 diabetes, before symptoms appear. Researchers looked for links between these changes and small blood vessel damage (micro-angiopathy). The goal was to improve early detection of heart problems in diabetes, not to provide a treatment.
