Evaluation of Left Ventricular Function After Treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcers Using Longitudinal Strain Echocardiography

Sponsor: Assiut University

Summary

Early detection of heart failure as a macrovascular complication of DM offers the best chance of cure in these patients. Nowadays, the most common method for detecting heart failure is measuring left ventricle ejection fraction (LV-EF), by echocardiography. Despite the easy application of LV-EF, it remains normal in early stages of cardiac disease and it's considered as heart failure with preserved LVEF (HFpEF). We hope that, Strain monitoring as a new method enables us to detect the early minimal changes in myocardium. The aim of study evaluate the effect of treatment of diabetic foot ulcers in improving heart function by strain echocardiography than conventional transthoracic echocardiography in Assiut university hospital.
