Background: Diastolic dysfunction in patients suffering from diabetes mellitus represents an earlier stage in the natural history of cardiomyopathy. This study was done to assess the left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in recently diagnosed (<5yr) Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus by Echocardiography and also to determine association of glycemic status (by HBA1c levels) with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD).Methods: An observational descriptive study involving 100 diabetic patients, taken on first come first serve basis after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria. In all the subjects, other than routine investigations, HbA1c was estimated and echocardiography was done to evaluate LVDD.Results: Mean value of HbA1c in the study was 8.31+ 1.408 %. 63 out of 100 subjects had LVDD. There was significant positive correlation between HbA1c and LVDD (p value <0.001). As HbA1c increased, severity of LVDD increased. In this study, as BMI increased, HbA1c and LVDD increased & both findings were statistically significant (p value =0.001).Conclusion: Our study indicates that myocardial damage in patients with diabetes affects diastolic function before systolic function &higher HbA1C level is strongly associated with presence of LVDD. Patients should be advised strict control of diabetes in order to reduce the risk for developing LVDD which is a precursor for more advanced disease.Keywords: Diabetes mellitus, Diastolic dysfunction, BMI, HbA1c

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.

Abstract Background Oxidative stress and inflammation have been implicated in the pathogenesis of diastolic dysfunction (DD) and are both present in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Purpose To evaluate the role of oxidative stress markers (8-isoprostane) and inflammation (prostaglandin E2, resistin) in the pathogenesis of stress induced left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) in non-severe COPD. Materials and methods 104 patients with non-severe COPD (FEV1 &gt; 50%) and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction &gt;50% underwent incremental cardio-pulmonary exercise testing (CPET). Echocardiography was performed before CPET and 1-2 minutes after peak exercise. Peak E/e’ ratio &gt;15 was a marker for stress LVDD. Urine concentration of 8-isoprostanes was assumed as surrogate marker for oxidative stress; urine concentration of prostaglandine-E2 and plasma resistin levels as inflammatory markers. Mass spectrometry was applied for 8-isoprostane and prostglandine E2 (Cayman. Chemical) measurement. Values were normalised to urine creatinine (µmol/l/cre). ELISA was applied for resistin measurement (Raybio_Human) (ng/ml). Results Patients were divided into two groups: subjects with stress LVDD (67) and subjects without stress LVDD (37). 8-isoprostane levels were higher in subjects with LVDD vs those without LVDD (32.9 vs 29.67µmol/l/cre; p&lt; 0.05). The same is observed regarding resistin plasma levels (22.51 vs 15.68ng/ml). Urine concentrations of prostaglandin E2 did not differ between the two groups (50.76 vs 51.07 µmol/l/cre) Conclusions In non-severe COPD patients the levels of oxidative stress (8-isoprostanes) and inflammation (resistin) seem to be associated with stress induced left ventricular diastolic dysfunction.
