Evaluation of left ventricular systolic function in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with and without peripheral vascular disease

Figure 4 The correlation test showed that low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol was positively correlated with global longitudinal strain of the epimyocardium, global longitudinal strain of the middle myocardium and peak strain dispersion, while left ventricular ejection fraction was negatively correlated with global longitudinal strain of the epimyocardium and global longitudinal strain of the middle myocardium and global longitudinal strain of the endocardium. GLSEpi: Global longitudinal strain of the epimyocardium; GLSMid: Global longitudinal strain of the middle myocardium; GLSEndo: Global longitudinal strain of the endocardium; PSD: Peak strain dispersion; LDL-C: Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LVEF: Left ventricular ejection fraction.
