Speckle Tracking Analysis of the Left and Right Heart in Type 1 Diabetes Patients with End-Stage Renal Disease Awaiting Simultaneous Pancreas-Kidney Transplantation

Preprint C Not peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This preprint looked at heart scans of 16 people with type 1 diabetes and end-stage kidney disease. They were waiting for a combined pancreas and kidney transplant. It is a small observational study, so it shows a link but not proof of cause. It helps doctors understand heart risks before surgery.
