Abstract Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) increases the risks of heart failure and mortality in patients with hypertension, however the underlying mechanism is unclear. This study aims to investigate the impact of coexisting T2DM on left ventricular (LV) deformation and myocardial perfusion in hypertensive individuals. Materials and methods Seventy hypertensive patients without T2DM [HTN(T2DM−)], forty patients with T2DM [HTN(T2DM+)] and 37 age- and sex-matched controls underwent cardiac magnetic resonance examination. Left ventricular (LV) myocardial strains, including global radial (GRPS), circumferential (GCPS) and longitudinal peak strain (GLPS), and resting myocardial perfusion indices, including upslope, time to maximum signal intensity (TTM), and max signal intensity (MaxSI), were measured and compared among groups by analysis of covariance after adjusting for age, sex, body mass index (BMI) and heart rate followed by Bonferroni’s post hoc test. Backwards stepwise multivariable linear regression analyses were performed to determine the effects of T2DM on LV strains and myocardial perfusion indices in patients with hypertension. Results Both GRPS and GLPS deteriorated significantly from controls, through HTN(T2DM−), to HTN(T2DM+) group; GCPS in HTN(T2DM+) group was lower than those in both HTN(T2DM−) and control groups. Compared with controls, HTN(T2DM−) group showed higher myocardial perfusion, and HTN(T2DM+) group exhibited lower perfusion than HTN(T2DM−) group and controls. Multiple regression analyses considering covariates of systolic blood pressure, age, sex, BMI, heart rate, smoking, indexed LV mass and eGFR demonstrated that T2DM was independently associated with LV strains (GRPS: p = 0.002, model R2= 0.383; GCPS: p < 0.001, model R2= 0.472; and GLPS: p = 0.002, model R2= 0.424, respectively) and perfusion indices (upslope: p < 0.001, model R2= 0.293; TTM: p < 0.001, model R2= 0.299; and MaxSI: p < 0.001, model R2= 0.268, respectively) in hypertension. When both T2DM and perfusion indices were included in the regression analyses, both T2DM and TTM were independently associated with GRPS (p = 0.044 and 0.017, model R2= 0.390) and GCPS (p = 0.002 and 0.001, model R2= 0.424), and T2DM but not perfusion indices was independently associated with GLPS (p = 0.002, model R2= 0.424). Conclusion In patients with hypertension, T2DM had an additive deleterious effect on subclinical LV systolic dysfunction and myocardial perfusion, and impaired myocardial perfusion by coexisting T2DM was associated with deteriorated LV systolic dysfunction.

Abstract Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a major risk factor for coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction (MI). The interaction of diabetic cardiomyopathy and MI scars on myocardial deformation in T2DM patients is unclear. Therefore, we aimed to evaluated myocardial deformation using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in T2DM patients with previous MI and investigated the influence of MI on left ventricular (LV) deformationMethods Two hundred and two T2DM patients, including 46 with MI (T2DM(MI+)) and 156 without MI (T2DM(MI−)), and 59 normal controls who underwent CMR scans were included. Myocardial scars were assessed by late gadolinium enhancement. LV function and deformation, including LV global function index, LV global peak strain (PS), peak systolic strain rate (PSSR), and peak diastolic strain rate (PSDR), were compared among these groups. Correlation analysis and multivariate linear regression analyses were used to investigate the relationship between myocardial scars and LV deformation.Results There was a decrease in LV function and LV global PS, PSSR, and PDSR in the T2DM(MI+) group compared with those of the other groups. Furthermore, reduced LV deformation (p < 0.017) was observed in the T2DM(MI+) group with anterior wall infarction. The increased total LV infarct extent and infarct mass of LV were related to decreased LV global PS (radial, circumferential, and longitudinal directions; p < 0.01) and LV global PSSR (radial and circumferential directions, p < 0.02). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that NYHA functional class and total LV infarct extent were independently associated with LV global radial PS (β = −0.400 and β = −0.446, respectively, all p < 0.01; model R2 = 0.37) and circumferential PS (β = −0.339 and β = −0.530, respectively, all p < 0.01; model R2 = 0.41), while LV anterior wall infarction was independently associated with LV global longitudinal PS (β = −0.398, p = 0.006).Conclusions The myocardial scarring size in T2DM patients after MI is negatively correlated with LV global PS and PSSR, especially in the circumferential direction. Additionally, different MI regions have different effects on the reduction of LV deformation, and relevant clinical evaluations should be strengthened.
