ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The structural and functional characteristics of the heart in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and without myocardial infarction (MI) are not fully understood.METHODS:
We retrospectively analysed the data of patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 40% who underwent contrast-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR), which was also used to exclude MI, at two hospitals. Volumetric data and extracellular volume fraction (ECVf) of the myocardium evaluated using CMR were compared between patients with and without DM, and their association with diastolic function was evaluated.RESULTS:
Among 322 analysed patients, 53 had DM. CMR revealed that the left ventricular mass index (LVMi) and ECVf were increased while LVEF was decreased in patients with DM after adjusting for patient characteristics (all P < 0.05). A stronger positive correlation was observed between LVMi and the early diastolic transmitral flow velocity to early diastolic mitral annular velocity ratio (E/e') in patients with DM than in those without DM (correlation coefficient [R] = 0.46, p = 0.001; R = 0.15, p = 0.021, respectively; p for interaction = 0.011). ECVf correlated with E/e' only in patients with DM (R = 0.61, p = 0.004).CONCLUSIONS:
Patients with DM have increased LVMi and ECVf. Importantly, there was a difference between patients with and without DM in the relationship between these structural changes and E/e', with a stronger relationship in patients with DM. Furthermore, DM is associated with mildly reduced LVEF even in the absence of MI.Palavras-chave
