Increased left ventricular extracellular volume and enhanced twist function in type 1 diabetic individuals
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) characteristically have high glycemic levels that over time can result in reactive fibrosis and abnormalities in myocardial function. T1 mapping with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can estimate the extent of reactive fibrosis by measurement of the extracellular volume fraction (ECV). The extent of alterations in the ECV and associated changes in left ventricular (LV) function and morphology in individuals with T1D is unknown. Fourteen individuals with long-term T1D and 14 sex-, age-, and body mass index-matched controls without diabetes underwent MRI measurement of myocardial T1 and ECV values as well as LV function and morphology. Ventricular mass, volumes, and global function (LVEF and circumferential/longitudinal/radial strain) were similar in those with T1D and controls. However, those with T1D had larger myocardial ECV (22.1 ± 1.8 vs. 20.1 ± 2.1, P = 0.008) and increased native (noncontrast) myocardial T1 values (1,211 ± 44 vs. 1,172 ± 43 ms, P < 0.001) as compared with controls. Both the ECV and native T1 values significantly correlated with several components of torsion and circumferential-longitudinal shear strain ( Ecl, the shear strain component associated with twist). Individuals with T1D had increased systolic torsion ( P = 0.035), systolic torsion rate ( P = 0.032), peak Ecl ( P = 0.001), and rates of change of systolic ( P = 0.007) and diastolic ( P = 0.007) Ecl. Individuals with T1D, with normal structure, LVEF, and strain, have increased extracellular volume and increased native T1 values with associated augmented torsion and Ecl. These measures may be useful in detecting the early stages of diabetic cardiomyopathy and warrant larger prospective studies. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Individuals with type 1 diabetes, with normal left ventricular structure and function (ejection fraction and strain), have signs of interstitial fibrosis, measured with MRI as increased extracellular volume fraction and increased native myocardial T1, which significantly correlated with a number of measures of augmented left ventricular twist function. These measures may be useful in detecting the early stages of diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
