First, systolic strain values are significantly reduced in asymptomatic patients with DM, not only in the LV but also in the LA and RV. This confirms that DCM is a global cardiac phenomenon and not merely an LV dysfunction. Second, LA reservoir strain, RVGLS, and LVGLS had large effect sizes with SMD > 0.8. Finally, higher BMI associated with worse LVGLS, LVGRS, and LVSR, whereas higher HbA1c is the main contributor to worse RVGLS in patients with DM.
