Core Tip Changes in metabolic signalling pathways via several mediators contribute to the pathogenesis of cardiac dysfunction in diabetes called diabetic cardiomyopathy (DC). In this review, the pathogenetic and pathomorphological changes leading to diastolic and systolic dysfunction in diabetes are discussed. Echocardiographic studies report on the association between diabetes and the presence of cardiac hypertrophy and myocardial stiffness that lead to diastolic dysfunction. More recently reported echocardiographic studies with more sensitive techniques, such as strain analysis, also observed systolic dysfunction as an early marker of DC.
