Evaluation of the Systolic and Diastolic Right Ventricular Function: A Comparison Between Diabetes, Prediabetes and Normal Patients Without Coronary Artery Disease

Diabetes mellitus is a well-known dangerous factor for cardiovascular disease with high rate of comorbidities. Patients suffering from this disease have represented more heart failures which is entangled with Ischemic heart disease or high blood pressure. Thus, depending on the recent scientific facts, diabetes mellitus as a separate factor which is independent from CAD, Arterial blood pressure or other factors, is claimed to culminate in advance heart failure. Previous studies have concentrated on the impacts of diabetes and prediabetes on the performance of the left ventricular which leaves right ventricular uncovered. Consequently, the aim of this article is to analyze and compare the systolic and diastolic function of the right ventricular in normal patients and the ones with diabetes and prediabetes without any coronary artery disease.

Automated summary

Diabetes mellitus is a dangerous factor for cardiovascular disease, often associated with ischemic heart disease or hypertension. Studies have focused on the impact of diabetes on the left ventricular function, while the right ventricular function has been less explored.
