Diabetic cardiomyopathy is a myocardial disease caused by diabetes mellitus unrelated to vascular and valvular pathology or systemic arterial hypertension. Clinical and experimental studies have shown that diabetes mellitus causes myocardial hypertrophy, necrosis, and apoptosis, and increases interstitial tissue. The pathophysiology of diabetic cardiomyopathy is incompletely understood. It appears that metabolic perturbations such as hyperlipidemia, hyperinsulinemia, hyperglycemia, and changes in cardiac metabolism are involved in cellular consequences leading to increased oxidative stress, interstitial fibrosis, myocyte death, and altered intracellular ions transient and calcium homeostasis. Clinically, an early detection of asymptomatic diastolic dysfunction is possible. When patients develop signals and symptoms of heart failure, isolated diastolic dysfunction is usually detected. Systolic dysfunction is a late finding. Treatment of heart failure due to diabetic cardiomyopathy is not different from myocardiopathies of other etiologies and must follow the guidelines according to ventricular function, whether diastolic or diastolic and systolic impairment.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 19 July 2014.
All research outputs
#8,694,819
of 27,778,980 outputs
Outputs from Arquivos Brasileiros de Endocrinologia & Metabologia
#38
of 162 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#33,923
of 95,955 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Arquivos Brasileiros de Endocrinologia & Metabologia
#3
of 10 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 27,778,980 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 68th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 162 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.0. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 95,955 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 64% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 10 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 7 of them.
