BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus (DM) single-handedly accounts for 75 – 90 % of excess coronary artery disease (CAD) risk seen in persons suffering from it and it also enhances and amplifies the effects of other traditional cardiovascular risk factors. After adjusting for concomitant risk factors such as hypertension and hyperlipidemia, there still remains an excess risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in people with diabetics. In this study, we wanted to evaluate left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic dysfunction in normotensive diabetic patients. METHODS A cross sectional comparative study was performed from January 2016 to September 2017 on 50 diabetics and 50 age and sex matched healthy controls. Adult patients of both sexes with diabetes mellitus who are normotensive were included as cases. Patients with known heart disease, chronic kidney disease, thyroid disorders were excluded from the study. 2D transthoracic echocardiogram (ECHO) with M mode was used for assessing systolic and diastolic function. RESULTS Mean ejection fraction was lower in patients group (59.76) as compared to control group (64.74) with 8 % of cases with a value of< 50 %. Fractional shortening was also lower in patients (29.14) compared to controls (34.86) with 12 % patients having a value of < 25 %. E/A ratio was 1.12 in patients when compared to 1.36 in controls with 32 % of patients having value < 1. Mean isovolumic relaxation time was 96.52 in patients when compared to 87.42 in controls with 24 % patients having value > 100 msec. CONCLUSIONS Normotensive diabetics are prone to left ventricular dysfunction. Diastolic dysfunction is more common than systolic dysfunction.

Background: Diabetic patients develop systolic and diastolic dysfunction without even associated coronary artery disease. But diastolic dysfunction is more prevalent in diabetic patients than systolic dysfunction and usually occurs before onset of symptoms. Recognition of early diastolic dysfunction is likely to make management better and avoids progression of cardiac dysfunction. This study was conducted in patients of Diabetes mellitus without other comorbidities.Methods: The present study which is cross sectional and was carried out among outpatients and inpatients of tertiary care hospital of Armed forces and involved army personnel and their dependents and sample size was 100 patients.Results: The prevalence of diastolic dysfunction among our study participants was found to be 36%. Diastolic dysfunction was found to be significantly higher among elderly individuals (60%) when compared to young study participants. (p<0.0001). Prevalence of diastolic dysfunction was found to be non-significantly higher among males and with longer duration of diabetes as compared to lesser duration and female gender.Conclusions: Diastolic dysfunction, evaluated by echocardiography, was found to be fairly prevalent (36%; 95% CI = 27-45%) among individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Poor Glycaemic control and increasing age were found to be significantly associated with presence of diastolic dysfunction among individuals with diabetes mellitus.

AbstractOver the last few decades, Mizoram has shown an increase in cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus; however, no in-depth scientific records are available to understand the occurrence of the disease. In this study, 500 patients and 500 healthy controls were recruited to understand the possible influence of their dietary and lifestyle habits in relation with type 2 diabetes mellitus. A multivariate analysis using Cox regression was carried out to find the influence of dietary and lifestyle factors, and an unpaired t test was performed to find the difference in the levels of biochemical tests. Out of 500 diabetic patients, 261 (52.3%) were males and 239 (47.7%) were females, and among the control group, 238 (47.7%) were males and 262 (52.3%) were females. Fermented pork fat, Sa-um (odds ratio (OR) 18.98), was observed to be a potential risk factor along with tuibur (OR 0.1243) for both males and females. Creatinine level was found to be differentially regulated between the male and female diabetic patients. This is the first report of fermented pork fat and tobacco (in a water form) to be the risk factors for diabetes. The unique traditional foods like Sa-um and local lifestyle habits like tuibur of the Mizo population may trigger the risk for the prevalence of the disease, and this may serve as a model to study other populations with similar traditional practices.

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

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is the major cause of premature mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes. The present study was conducted to assess cardiovascular risk among diabetic patients of Northeast India. The present cross-sectional study included 81 diabetic patients (39 males and 42 females) aged 36–74 years from the district Imphal of Manipur, Northeast India. Sex-specific Framingham general cardiovascular risk prediction equations were used to calculate the 10-year risk for cardiovascular disease. The probable risk factors were determined by cross-tabulation of cardiometabolic parameters with the 10-year cardiovascular risk level. Males were found to be at higher risk of developing CVD in the future as compared to females with a discernible accumulation of adverse cardiovascular risk factors among them. 38.3% patients were at high risk, 37.0% at moderate risk and 24.7% at low risk for developing CVD in the next 10 years. Systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, triglyceride, and smoking contributed significantly to high degree of cardiovascular risk. Presence of cardiovascular risk factors among diabetic patients at diagnosis accentuates the need of intensive management of cardiovascular complications, taking into consideration the traditional dietary pattern of the population.

Abstract The involvement of diabetes in the occurrence of an alteration of the diastolic function of LV is well established. The objective of our study was to evaluate the prevalence of diastolic dysfunction in Type II diabetic patients in light of the latest 2016 recommendations of the American Society of Echocardiography and to identify its associated factors. It was a cross-sectional observational study with a descriptive and analytic focus spread over a 6-month period from July to December 2017.The study included 66 asymptomatic type II diabetic patients, with a normal ECG and a negative stress test ischemia. All hypertensive subjects with an ejection fraction &lt;50%, or those with myocardial, valvular or rhythm disorder, were excluded. The mean age of our patients, was 42 years ± 9 years with extremes ranging from 39 to 84 years, we noted a female predominance (68%) with a sex ratio of 2.14. The prevalence of diastolic dysfunction was 27%. Factors associated with this change in diastolic function were advanced age (p &lt;0.0001), age of diabetes&gt; 10 years (p &lt;0.0001), glycemic imbalance with HbA1c&gt; 7% (p &lt;0) , 0001) and elevated fasting glucose levels (p = 0.039), obesity (p &lt;0.0001), dyslipidemia (p &lt;0.0001) and menopause (p = 0.002). Diastolic dysfunction affects a significant percentage of patients with type II diabetes. Therefore, we propose strict glycemic control in these patients, an early cardiographic echo screening in at-risk subjects, in order to improve their management, and to limit their progression to more serious complications.

Abstract Background The risk of cardiovascular (CV) disease in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is highly heterogeneous and an adequate risk stratification is needed. CV risk mainly depends on concomitant risk factors, combined in the metabolic syndrome (MetS). Echocardiography is an useful tool for diagnosis of cardiac organ damage and CV risk stratification in T2DM. Purpose To investigate the effects of MetS on left ventricular (LV) structure and function in patients with T2DM with normal LV ejection fraction (LVEF) and without overt coronary artery disease (CAD) and heart failure symptoms/signs. Methods We prospectively recruited 384 consecutive, uncomplicated T2DM patients. All patients underwent clinical exam, blood sampling and complete echo-Doppler exam, including determination of 2D-echo derived global longitudinal strain (GLS). LV mass index ≥45 g/m^2.7 in women and ≥49 g/m^2.7 in men was used to characterize LV hypertrophy. LV longitudinal dysfunction was assumed for GLS &lt; 20% in absolute values. LV diastolic dysfunction was identified according to 2016 ASE/EACVI recommendations. MetS was defined according to NCEP-ATP III criteria. Significant CAD including previous myocardial infarction, LV systolic dysfunction (= LVEF &lt;50%), hemodinamically significant valvular heart disease, primary cardiomyopathies, permanent atrial fibrillation, glomerular filtration rate &lt;30 ml/min and inadequate echo images were exclusion criteria. The study population was divided according to presence of MetS. Results 66% of the patients (254/384) met the criteria for MetS diagnosis. They had comparable age and heart rate with controls. Diabetic patients with MetS had higher glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) (7.2 ± 1.3 vs. 6.9 ± 1.0%, p = 0.023) and uric acid (5.5 ± 1.4 vs. 4.9 ± 1.3 mg/dl, p = 0.001) than those without, and lower glomerular filtration rate (69.5 ± 15.0 vs 74.0 ± 12,1 ml/min, p = 0.004). MetS patients showed a higher LV mass index (p &lt; 0.0001) and a greater prevalence of both LV hypertrophy (31.9 vs 12.5%, p &lt; 0.0001) and diastolic dysfunction (52.6 vs. 32.8%, p = 0.007) (Figure). T2DM patients with MetS also had lower GLS (20.6 ± 2.1 vs. 21.9 ± 2.2%, p = 0.001), with a greater prevalence of LV longitudinal dysfunction (38.2 vs. 24.7%, p = 0.049) (Figure). After adjusting for age, T2DM duration, sex, HbA1c, uric acid, LV mass index and LV diastolic dysfunction by a multiple regression analysis in the pooled population, GLS reduction was independently associated with MetS (β coefficient = -0.184, p &lt; 0.02) and LV mass index (β= -0.94, p = 0.04). Conclusion In patients with T2DM, the presence of MetS induces a greater prevalence not only of LV hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction but also of LV longitudinal deformation impairment. GLS reduction in diabetic patients is associated with MetS independently of confounders including glycemic control and diabetic duration. Abstract 433 Figure.

AIM: Combination of cardiovascular and renal disease is currently viewed as a unified cardiorenal syndrome (CRS). The aim of our study was to assess the CRS prevalence and risk factors associated with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with pre-dialysis stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD) of various etiology. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We enrolled 172 patients with CKD to participate in this study. First group consisted of 83 patients with nondiabetic CKD at 2nd through 4th stage (mean age 46-15 years, 51% male and 29% female). Mean glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was 37.2 ml/min (33.9-41.4 with 95% CI); creatinine plasma clearance was 2.9 mg/dl (2.6-3.2). Second group consisted of 89 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and CKD at 1st?2nd stage (40% male and 60% female) with albuminuria (mean age 57.3-7.1 years). Duration of diabetes in this sampling was 10.4-7.1 years. All patients underwent standard clinical examination, supplemented with echocardiography to evaluate the influence of general and CKD-related risk factors for LVH. RESULTS: LVH was diagnosed in 37.3% of non-diabetic patients with CKD at 2nd through 4th stage. Aside from classic cardiovascular riskfactors (including age, gender, arterial hypertension, family history of cardiovascular diseases, hypercholesterolemia), we observed theimpact of kidney-related factors (anemia, plasma creatinine, disturbance of calcium-phosphorus metabolism). CKD progression wasassociated with elevation in the incidence of concentric and eccentric LVH). Patients with T2DM were diagnosed with LVH in 36% ofcases. Increased myocardial mass correlated with plasma levels of uric acid, HbA1c, obesity and albuminuria. There was also a firmassociation between diabetic nephropathy, left ventricular myocardial remodelling and a history of cardiovascular events. CONCLUSION: In patients with diabetes mellitus and CKD cardiorenal syndrome develops at pre-dialysis stages due to both classic and kidney-related cardiovascular risk factors.

Abstract Background Disturbances of diastolic function precede systolic heart failure and, although clinically silent, represent the earliest sign of cardiac involvement. Diastolic dysfunction (DD) is associated with age, gender (female), and hypertension. However, little is known about the age-specific incidence rates and risk factors for DD in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods We used standard two-dimensional/Doppler echocardiography to screen for the presence of diastolic dysfunction in 61 patients with RA and 107 healthy subjects. All participants were premenopausal women with no history of hypertension. DD includes an impaired relaxation with or without increased left ventricular (LV) filling pressures, pseudonormal filling, and restrictive filling based on parameters measured using echocardiography. Results The two groups were similar with respect to age (P=0.269). Patients with RA had significantly higher LV mass index, LV filling pressure, and lower E/A velocity than controls. All patients had preserved ejection fraction (EF ≥50%). DD was more common in patients with RA at 47% compared to 26% in the controls (P=0.004). Women with RA in the 30- to 49-year age range were over 3.5 times more likely to have DD than those of similar age in the control group (OR=3.54; 95% CI 1.27 to 9.85). Among patients with RA, high CRP levels were independently associated with DD even after adjustment for cardiovascular risk factors (P=0.009). Conclusions In premenopausal women with RA, DD is much more common and the age of onset is reduced. Early screening of myocardial function may provide an opportunity for preventing future cardiovascular disease.
