Layout of speckle-tracking analysis. a Determination of circumferential strain on short-axis recordings. The negative peak of the curve represents the global circumferential strain (GCS). b Determination of circumferential strain rate on short-axis images. The peak negative value is the global circumferential strain rate in systole (SrS). The following peak represents the value of isovolumic relaxation (SrIVR) while the positive peak value is the early diastolic strain rate (SrE). Groups: animals with T1DM, their non-diabetic controls (T1DM Co); animals with T2DM and their non-diabetic controls (T2DM Co). Arrows indicate the specific changes of strain and strain rate curves in DM
