Abstract
- Prediabetes is a dysglycemic state that affects many around the world and is a known risk factor for the occurrence of type 2 diabetes mellitus in the future, accompanied by vascular complications. Evidence abounds regarding myocardial involvement in prediabetes. We herein review studies having applied tissue Doppler imaging or speckleātracking echocardiography to evaluate myocardial function in subjects with prediabetes to depict a picture of cardiac mechanics in individuals with prediabetes in comparison with patients suffering from diabetes mellitus and individuals in the normoglycemic state. Finally, we present the detrimental effects of prediabetes on cardiac mechanics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
