The ultrastructural changes of chronic cardiopathy in diabetic biobreeding rats were observed electronmicroscopically. The thickness of the myocardial capillary basement membrane (CBM) and volume fraction of myofilaments in the myocardium were quantitatively measured with a video interactive display system III (VIDS-III). The effect of metabolic control on chronic diabetic cardiopathy was also investigated.
