Heart function in diabetic foot ulcers via ultrasound
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
This study uses a special heart ultrasound (called strain echocardiography) to see how diabetes-related foot ulcers affect the heart's pumping function. It aims to help doctors understand and treat heart problems in people with diabetic foot ulcers.
