Effect of glycemic status on myocardial deformation and microvascular function in uncomplicated pediatric type 1 diabetes mellitus: cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Individuals with hyperglycemia are at great risk of cardiovascular complications. This study investigated the impact of glycemic control on left ventricular (LV) microvascular perfusion and myocardial deformation in uncomplicated pediatric T1DM using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging.
