Abnormal left ventricular systolic reserve function detected by treadmill exercise stress echocardiography in asymptomatic type 2 diabetes. Front Cardiovasc Med 2023; 10:1253440. [PMID: 37928757 PMCID: PMC10622805 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2023.1253440] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2023] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Aims Subclinical left ventricular (LV) dysfunction may occur in T2DM patients at the early asymptomatic stage, and LV reserve function is a sensitive index to detect subtle LV dysfunction. The purpose of our study is (1) to assess the LV reserve function using treadmill exercise stress echocardiography (ESE) in asymptomatic type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients; (2) to explore the link of serum biological parameters and LV reserve function. Methods This study included 84 patients with asymptomatic T2DM from September 2021 to July 2022 and 41 sex- and age-matched healthy controls during the corresponding period. All subjects completed treadmill ESE, LV systolic function-related parameters such as global longitudinal strain (GLS) and systolic strain rate (SRs), as well as diastolic function-related parameters such as E wave (E), early diastolic velocity (e'), E/e' ratio, early diastolic SR (SRe), and late diastolic SR (SRa) were compared at rest and immediately after exercise. The difference between LV functional parameters after treadmill exercise and its corresponding resting value was used to compute LV reserve function. In addition, the associations of LV reserve function and serum biological parameters were analyzed. Results Patients with T2DM did not significantly vary from the controls in terms of alterations in LV diastolic reserve measures, the changes of LVGLS and SRs (ΔGLS: 2.19 ± 2.72% vs. 4.13 ± 2.79%, P < 0.001 and ΔSRs:0.78 ± 0.33 s-1 vs. 1.02 ± 0.28 s-1, P < 0.001) in the T2DM group were both lower than those in the control group. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP), waist circumference, and high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) were identified as independent predictors of LV systolic reserve by stepwise multiple linear regression analysis. Conclusion LV systolic reserve function, as measured by pre- and post-exercise differences in GLS and SRs were significantly impaired in patients with asymptomatic T2DM, whereas diastolic reserve remained normal during exercise and was comparable to that of the control group. This was different from previous findings. High levels of HbA1c, NTproBNP, hsCRP, and increasing waist circumference were independent predictors of LV systolic reserve.

The Impact of Bariatric Surgery on Cardiac Structure, and Systolic and Diastolic Function in Patients with Obesity: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. Obes Surg 2023; 33:345-361. [PMID: 36469205 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-022-06396-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2022] [Revised: 11/25/2022] [Accepted: 11/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/07/2022]
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to provide pooled data from all studies on the impact of bariatric surgery on cardiac structure, and systolic and diastolic function evaluated by either echocardiography or cardiac magnetic resonance. PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Scopus databases were searched. Almost all of cardiac left-side structural indices improved significantly after bariatric surgery. However, right-side structural indices did not change significantly. Left ventricular ejection fraction and most of the diastolic function indices improved significantly after the bariatric surgery. The subgroup analysis showed that the left ventricular mass index decreased more in long-term follow-up (≥ 12 months). In addition, subgroup analysis of studies based on surgery type did not reveal any difference in outcomes between gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy groups.

J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11164655. [PMID: 36012899 PMCID: PMC9410478 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11164655] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2022] [Revised: 08/04/2022] [Accepted: 08/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Aim: Current evidence on the effects of bariatric surgery on cardiac mechanics in patients with obesity is based on a few single studies. We investigated this issue through a meta-analysis of speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) studies that reported data on changes in left ventricular (LV) mechanics as assessed by global longitudinal strain (GLS). Methods: The PubMed, OVID-MEDLINE and Cochrane library databases were systematically analysed to search English-language articles published from inception to 31 May 2022. Studies were identified by using Me-SH terms and crossing the following terms: “obesity”, “bariatric surgery”, “left ventricular mechanics”, “left ventricular hypertrophy”, “systolic dysfunction”, “global longitudinal strain”, “echocardiography” and “STE echocardiography”. Results: The meta-analysis, including a total of 512 patients with obesity from 13 studies (follow-up 1−23 months), showed a significant GLS improvement after bariatric procedures, with standard mean difference (SMD) being 0.50 ± 0.08, CI: 0.34/0.65, p < 0.0001. Corresponding SMD value for LV ejection fraction (LVEF) was 0.15 ± 0.09, CI: −0.04/0.34, p = 0.11. A sensitivity analysis restricted to 11 studies with follow-up ≥ 6 months confirmed that GLS (SMD: 0.47 ± 0.08, CI: 0.30/0.63, p < 0.0001) but not LVEF (SMD: 0.14 ± 0.11, CI: −0.08/0.37, p = 0.21) improved after surgery. Conclusions: Our meta-analysis adds a new piece of information on the beneficial effects of bariatric surgery on LV systolic function and, more importantly, suggests that the assessment of myocardial strain should be routinely implemented for a comprehensive evaluation of cardiac functional changes associated with bariatric procedures.

Assessment of subclinical diabetic cardiomyopathy by speckle-tracking imaging. Eur J Clin Invest 2021; 51:e13475. [PMID: 33326612 DOI: 10.1111/eci.13475] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2020] [Revised: 11/28/2020] [Accepted: 12/05/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diastolic dysfunction is traditionally believed to be the first subclinical manifestation of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM), leading to systolic dysfunction and then overt heart failure. However, in the last few years, several studies suggested that systolic subclinical dysfunction measured by speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) may appear ahead of diastolic dysfunction. In this review, the main endpoint is to show whether subclinical myocardial systolic dysfunction appears ahead of diastolic dysfunction and the implication this may have on the evolution and management of DCM. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a search in PubMed for all relevant publications on the assessment of DCM by STE from 1 June 2015 to 1 June 2020. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS The results illustrate that subclinical systolic dysfunction assessed by STE is present in early DCM stages, with or without the association of diastolic dysfunction. This could be a promising perspective for the early management of patients with DCM leading to the prevention of the overt form of disease.

Abstract
Abstract
Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) with normal ejection fraction is considered common among people with diabetes mellitus (DM). LVDD is a progressive condition and an independent predictor of mortality in diabetic patients. The etiopathogenesis of LVDD is multifactorial, including diabetes associated comorbidities, such as hypertension, coronary atherosclerosis and obesity, as well as myocardial vascular and metabolic disturbances which lead to diabetic cardiomyopathy. Early stages of LVDD may be detected using echocardiographic techniques. Treatment strategies evolve, based on a better understanding of pathogenic mechanisms, although it is still difficult to efficiently control LVDD evolution. This review synthesizes the main pathophysiological processes and clinical features that characterize DM associated LVDD. Among treatment options, the therapeutic relevance of exercise training programs is underlined.
