Zusammenfassung:The left ventricular function was assessed in 70 diabetics under 60 years of age without clinically evident heart disease using established non-invasive methods, these include systolic time interval method and echocardiography. The ratio of pre-ejection period to left ventricular ejection time (PEP/ET) was remarkably elevated in diabetics with severe microangiopathy (0.431±0.037). Even in diabetics without microangiopathy PEP/ET ratio was significantly higher (0.374±0.037) compared with that in controls(0.331±0.023, P
