Abstract
Inclusion criteria: age>12years, T1D duration >3years, HbA1c >8%. diagnosis of autonomic neuropathy, heart structural defects, heart failure. BSPM data were processed into map plotting to illustrate differences in ventricular activation time (VAT, isochron lines). 33 teenagers (20 boys), mean age 15.0±2.1years, T1D from 6.8±4.1years were included. Mean HbA1c was 9.6±2.0%. In the standard ECG recording abnormalities were not present. The distribution of isolines on the group-mean map plotted for T1D patients only initially resembles the course of isolines on the group-map for normal subjects (N=30), in whom the electrical impulse stimulating the heart ventricles passes through the atrio-ventricular node, then symmetrically excites the branches of His bundle and finally the Purkinje fibers. In T1D patients, after proper onset of intraventricular stimulation, the isolines reflecting the both ventricles reach higher time values, which indicates problems in the propagation of the ventricular depolarization.
