Abstract
Background: Subclinical right ventricular (RV) diastolic dysfunction has been reported to be prevalent in diabetic subjects, but effect on systolic function is not clear and requiring investigation. Strain imaging has been suggested as a useful tool for the evaluation of myocardial function. A global function index (GFI) derived from tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) has been proposed to improve the diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. We aimed to evaluate the usefulness of this index and strain imaging in RV assessment.
