The purpose of the work was the development of a technique of defi nition screening markers of genetic predisposition to the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Research problems: revealing morphological signs of diabetic cardiomyopathy at patients with type 2 diabetes on the basis of the echocardiography data; an establishment of screening dermatoglifi c criteria of diabetic cardiomyopathy. The research group included 68 patients with type 2 diabetes, the control group included almost healthy 68 people. The signs of diabetic cardiomyopathy were observed in all patients with type 2 diabetes and included the changes of structural and functional indicators of heart, hypertrophy of heart chambers, and the presence of diastolic dysfunction. The prominent features of dermatoglifi c picture were revealed in patients with type 2 diabetes, that testifi es the participation of the genetic factor in formation of predisposition to this kind of pathology. The offered biometric technique can be used for revealing people with the increased risk of diabetic cardiomyopathy development.
