Assessment of Atrial Electromechanical Delay, Diastolic Functions, and Left Atrial Mechanical Functions in Patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

This study shows that intra- and interatrial electromechanical delays are prolonged diastolic functions of both ventricles and that LA mechanical functions are impaired in patients with DM-1. Age and the presence of DM-1 were independent factors of the interatrial electromechanical delay.
