Background: Epidemiological data indicates a greater risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, particularly congestive heart failure in diabetic patients, compared with nondiabetic patients. Heart failure in many patients is due to left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction (LVDD), but its prevalence among diabetic adults is still not known, especially in the primary health care settings. Present study aims to evaluate the prevalence of LVDD by Echocardiography in Type II Diabetes Mellitus (DM).Methods: Authors did a prospective study, from May 2012 to August 2014, in Department of Medicine, Dr. D. Y. Patil Hospital, Kolhapur which included 100 randomly selected patients of Type II DM. The diagnosis of Type II DM was done according to the criteria laid down by American Diabetes Association 2012. A detailed clinical history was taken using a structured questionnaire prepared by us and all patients were evaluated for left ventricular function by Echocardiography. Equipment used for echocardiography-Mind ray DC USG, Doppler machine Probe used-7.5MHz.Results: On Echocardiography, Diastolic Dysfunction was found to be prevalent among individuals with Type 2 DM. Duration of DM and increasing age were found to be significantly associated with presence of Diastolic Dysfunction among individuals with Type 2 DM. Maximum number of patients were observed in the age group 51-60 years in our institute. 45% of the patients were asymptomatic, rest of the patients had predominantly cardiac symptoms.Conclusions: It is essential to screen diabetic patients with Echocardiography at an early stage to prevent future cardiovascular complications.

Abstract Background Poor glycaemic control is associated with a greater risk of development of heart failure in diabetic patients. We aimed to study the prevalence of left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic dysfunction in asymptomatic patients with new-onset type 2 DM. We conducted a cross-sectional study including patients with newly diagnosed (within 1 year) type 2 DM; all patients were between the ages of 30 and 60 years, normotensive and clinically asymptomatic and attended the outpatient clinic of the endocrinology unit at a university hospital between March 2016 and June 2017. Demographic characteristics, clinical risk factors and waist-hip ratio (WHR) were assessed. Blood samples for laboratory analysis were obtained. Detailed echocardiography was performed to evaluate systolic and diastolic function. Results A total of 100 patients were included. Sixty-one percent had diastolic dysfunction with preserved ejection fraction. Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) was more prevalent in diabetic patients with HbA1c ≥ 8.1 (75%) Patients with LVDD had significant dyslipidaemia in comparison to those without LVDD. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that WHR and HbA1c levels are the only predictors of impaired diastolic function in patients with new-onset DM. Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed a significant correlation between the incidence of diastolic dysfunction and the duration of DM, with higher incidence with HbA1c ≥ 8.1. Conclusions Diastolic dysfunction is highly prevalent in patients with newly diagnosed DM and is positively correlated with HbA1c level, obesity, dyslipidaemia and the duration of diabetes.

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: Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common diseases. Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction may represent the early stage of diabetic cardiomyopathy thus reinforcing the importance of the early examination of diastolic function in individuals with diabetes.Methods: This is a hospital based cross-sectional study done at a tertiary care hospital catering mainly to rural population. Patients having type 2 diabetes mellitus were scrutinized for doppler echocardiography and HbA1c levels. As per the previous studies and considering the prevalence of asymptomatic diastolic dysfunction in diabetics, the sample size was calculated. Statistical analysis was done by using descriptive and inferential statistics using chi square test.Results: In the present study 45 patients had HbA1C between 6.5- 8.0, out of which 9 had type I diastolic dysfunction, 1 had type II diastolic dysfunction and 35 had no diastolic dysfunction. 16 patients had HbA1C between 8.1- 9.5, out of which 7 had type I diastolic dysfunction, 8 had type II diastolic dysfunction and 1 had no diastolic dysfunction. 14 patients had HbA1C more than 9.5, out of which 4 had type I diastolic dysfunction, 5 had type II diastolic dysfunction, 4 had type III diastolic dysfunction and 1 patient did not had any diastolic dysfunction. The Chi-Square value is 55.51 and p value is 0.000 (Significant).Conclusions: Diastolic dysfunction correlates with the levels of glycosylated hemoglobin, duration of diabetes mellitus, presence of microvascular complications like diabetic retinopathy, neuropathy and nephropathy.

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.

In-depth understanding of early cardiovascular manifestations in diabetes is high on international research and prevention agendas given that cardiovascular events are the leading cause of death for diabetic patients. Our aim was to review recent developments in the echocardiographic assessment of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) as a telltale pre-clinical disturbance preceding diabetic cardiomyopathy. We analyzed papers in which patients had been comprehensively assessed echocardiographically according to the latest LVDD guidelines (2016), and those affording comparisons with previous, widely used recommendations (2009). We found that the updated algorithm for LVDD is more effective in predicting adverse cardiovascular events in patients with established LVDD, and less specific in grading other patients (labelled “indeterminate”). This may prove instrumental for recruiting “indeterminate” LVDD cases among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in future screening programs. As an interesting consideration, the elevated values of the index E/e’ can point to early diastolic impairment, foretelling diabetic cardiomyopathy. Identifying subclinical signs early makes clinical sense, but the complex nature of T2DM calls for further research. Specifically, longitudinal studies on rigorously selected cohorts of diabetic patients are needed to better understand and predict the subtle, slow onset of cardiac manifestations with T2DM as a complicating backdrop.
