Background: Diastolic heart failure occurs due to impaired myocardial relaxation and compliance. Of late, it has been suggested that the changes in the diastolic function occurs before the onset of diabetes, and present in the prediabetic patients. It is also said to be associated with insulin resistance.Methods: This observational study was performed on 50 diabetic patients, with asymptomatic type 2 diabetes. who came in for 2 D echocardiogram with suspected diastolic dysfunction.Results: The mean age among the 50 patients in the study was 54.1±10.99 years and in controls it was 49.56±10.63 years. The fasting sugar among the patients was 179.43±41.57 mg/dl and the post prandial was 236.72±76.24, and it was in the normal range in the controls. The HbA1c was 9.93±1.2 among the patients and 6.09 ± 0.34 in the controls. In the patients, the E/A ratio was 0.83±0.09 compared to 1.22±0.31 of the controls, which was highly significant as the E/e ratio which was 15.1±3.4 and 7.3±0.08 respectively.Conclusions: There was a higher prevalence of diastolic dysfunction among the patients with diabetes in our study. There was no relation of age or gender among the diabetic and the controls, while a strong association and indicators seem to be FBS, PLBS and HbA1c.

Introduction. Several cardiovascular manifestations in patients with diabetes may be asymptomatic. Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) is considered to be the earliest metabolic myocardial lesion in these patients, and can be diagnosed with tissue Doppler echocardiography. Silent myocardial ischemia (SMI) is a characteristic and frequently described form of ischemic heart disease in patients with diabetes. Objective. The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of LVDD and SMI in patients with type 2 diabetes, as well as to compare demographic, clinical, and metabolic data among defined groups (patients with LVDD, patients with SMI and patients with type 2 diabetes, without LVDD and SMI). Methods. We investigated 104 type 2 diabetic patients (mean age 55.4?9.1 years, 64.4% males) with normal blood pressure, prehypertension and arterial hypertension stage I. Study design included basic laboratory assessment and cardiological workup (transthoracic echocardiography and tissue Doppler, as well as the exercise stress echocardiography). Results. LVDD was diagnosed in twelve patients (11.5%), while SMI was revealed in six patients (5.8%). Less patients with LVDD were using metformin, in comparison to other two groups (?2 =12.152; p=0.002). Values of HDL cholesterol (F=4.515; p=0.013) and apolipoprotein A1 (F=5.128; p= 0.008) were significantly higher in patients with LVDD. Conclusion. The study confirmed asymptomatic cardiovascular complications in 17.3% patients with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases. Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is characterized by left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD). It has been reported that excess cortisol found in patients with Cushing’s syndrome was associated with the development of LVDD. However, the relationship between cortisol concentration and LVDD in patients with DM has not been addressed. Research Design and Methods: We enrolled 109 patients with DM and 104 patients without DM who had undergone echocardiographic examination at Kyushu University Hospital, Japan, between November 2016 and March 2019. Left ventricular function was evaluated and the ratio of early diastolic velocity from transmitral inflow to early diastolic velocity (E/eʹ) was used as an index of diastolic function. Plasma cortisol concentrations, glycemic control, lipid profiles, treatment with anti-diabetic drugs, and other clinical characteristics were evaluated, and their associations with E/eʹ were determined using univariate and multivariate analyses. Results Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that log E/eʹ was positively correlated with age (p = 0.017), log systolic blood pressure (p = 0.004), and cortisol (p = 0.037) and negatively correlated with eGFR (p = 0.016) and the usage of SGLT2 inhibitors (p = 0.042) in patients with DM. Multivariate analysis showed that cortisol was positively correlated with age (p = 0.016) and HbA1c (p = 0.011). There was no association between E/eʹ and cortisol in patients without DM. Conclusions Increased cortisol levels may increase the risk of developing LVDD in DM patients.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between left ventricular diastolic function (LVDF) and autonomic nervous function in elderly patients with mild-to-moderate essential hypertension.Design: A total of 146 elderly patients with mild-to-moderate essential hypertension were enrolled in our hospital from January, 2015 to October, 2017. Blood pressure was recorded, and biochemical indexes and the N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic preptide (NT-proBNP) were investigated. 2-dimensional echocadiolography was used to measure the parameters of LVDF. Based on the classification standard of LVDF, all subjects were divided into two groups: normal LVDF group (n = 72), left ventricular diastolic dysfunction group (n = 74). At the same time, the dynamic electrocardiogram were investigated for all subjects to monitor the indexes of time on heart rate variability (HRV).Results: (1) The level of NT-proBNP, left ventricular mass index (LVMI), interventricular septal thickness (IVST) and LVPWT increased significantly (p < .05 for all), while the level of PNN50, rMSSD, SDANN and SDNN decreased significantly (p < .05 for all) in left ventricular diastolic dysfunction group (abnormal LVDF group) compared with that in normal LVDF group (normal LVDF group); (2) The partial correlation analysis showed that rMSSD, PNN50 and triangle index were negatively correlated with peak A (r = -0.208, -0.219, -0.211, p < .05 for all), and positive correlated with the ratio of peak E to peak A (E/A) (r = 0.179, 0.184, 0.181, p < .05); SDNN were negatively correlated with NT-proBNP and E/E’ (r = -0.183, -0.181, p < .05 for all), positive correlated with E’ (r = 0.178, p < .05); (3) Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that peak A and E/A were independent influencing factors for PNN50 (β = -0.261, p = .004; β = 0.179, p = .016); E/E’ and NT-proBNP were independent influencing factor for SDNN (β = -0.163, p = .018; β = -0.172, p = .022).Conclusions: Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction is closely related to impaired autonomic nervous function in elderly patients with mild-to-moderate essential hypertension.
