N2 - Purpose of Review: The aging population in western nations has experienced an increase in the prevalence of heart failure alongside the increasing rates of obesity, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Clinical studies have established a strong link between these metabolic derangements and the risk of heart failure. Recent Findings: Echocardiography is an essential tool in supporting the diagnosis of heart failure and establishing its phenotype. Advanced echocardiographic methods based on speckle tracking echocardiography provide unique insights into myocardial mechanics and underlie the novel approach to phenotype classification of heart failure patients. Summary: The current review summarizes the myocardial mechanics assessment based on speckle tracking echocardiography focusing on diabetic cardiomyopathy. It highlights potential applications and promises of this approach.
