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.

Abstract Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major cause of cardiovascular disease including heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), which is characterized by left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD). It is reported that Cushing’s syndrome is also associated with LVDD. The relationship between plasma cortisol concentration and LVDD, however, has not been investigated in patients with DM. Methods: In this study, 109 patients with DM and 104 patients with non-DM without overt heart failure were enrolled. Left ventricular function were assessed using echocardiography. The ratio of early diastolic velocity (E) from transmitral inflow to early diastolic velocity (e’) of tissue Doppler at mitral annulus (E/e’) was used as an index of diastolic function. Parameters of plasma cortisol concentration, glycemic control, lipid profile, treatment with anti-diabetic drugs and other clinical characteristics were evaluated, and their association with E/e’ determined. Patients taking steroids, undergoing dialysis treatment and with overt heart failure were excluded. Results: Univariate analysis showed that E/e’ was significantly correlated with age (p<0.001), duration of diabetes (p=0.039), systolic blood pressure (SBP) (p<0.001), eGFR (p=0.002), sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor use (p<0.001) and cortisol (p=0.009) in patients with DM. Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that log E/e’ was positively correlated with age (p=0.018), log SBP (p= 0.005), eGFR (p=0.015), cortisol (p=0.028) and that log E/e’ was inversely with inhibitor use (p=0.018). There was no association between E/e’ and cortisol in patients with non-DM. Conclusions: Cortisol may be important in the development of LVDD in patients with DM.

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

Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction

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.

Onset Of Diabetes

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.
