Characterizing echocardiographic abnormalities and their associated factors in patients with type 1 diabetes: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aims to characterize the prevalence of echocardiographic abnormalities and their associated factors in patients with type 1 diabetes.

Methods

Data from 362 patients with type 1 diabetes were analyzed. Echocardiographic abnormalities were defined based on echocardiography indicators and were classified as structural abnormalities or diastolic dysfunction subtype. Spearman's correlation, inter-group difference comparisons, modified Poisson regression and restricted cubic spline were conducted. Results were presented as prevalence ratio (PR) with 95% confidence interval (95% CI).

Results

The prevalence of echocardiographic abnormalities in this study was 32.60%, with cardiac structural abnormalities and ventricular diastolic dysfunction accounting f
