Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is the most prevalent complication of diabetes, and has been demonstrated to be independently associated with cardiovascular events and mortality. This aim of this study was to investigate the subclinical left ventricular (LV) myocardial dysfunction in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with and without DPN. METHODS One hundred and thirty T2DM patients without DPN, 61 patients with DPN and 65 age and sex-matched controls who underwent cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging were included, all subjects had no symptoms of heart failure and LV ejection fraction ≥ 50%. LV myocardial non-infarct late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) was determined. LV global strains, including radial, circumferential and longitudinal peak strain (PS) and peak systolic and diastolic strain rates (PSSR and PDSR, respectively), were evaluated using CMR feature tracking and compared among the three groups. Multivariable linear regression analyses were performed to determine the independent factors of reduced LV global myocardial strains in T2DM patients. RESULTS The prevalence of non-infarct LGE was higher in patients with DPN than those without DPN (37.7% vs. 19.2%, p = 0.008). The LV radial and longitudinal PS (radial: 36.60 ± 7.24% vs. 33.57 ± 7.30% vs. 30.72 ± 8.68%; longitudinal: - 15.03 ± 2.52% vs. - 13.39 ± 2.48% vs. - 11.89 ± 3.02%), as well as longitudinal PDSR [0.89 (0.76, 1.05) 1/s vs. 0.80 (0.71, 0.93) 1/s vs. 0.77 (0.63, 0.87) 1/s] were decreased significantly from controls through T2DM patients without DPN to patients with DPN (all p < 0.001). LV radial and circumferential PDSR, as well as circumferential PS were reduced in both patient groups (all p < 0.05), but were not different between the two groups (all p > 0.05). Radial and longitudinal PSSR were decreased in patients with DPN (p = 0.006 and 0.003, respectively) but preserved in those without DPN (all p > 0.05). Multivariable linear regression analyses adjusting for confounders demonstrated that DPN was independently associated with LV radial and longitudinal PS (β = - 3.025 and 1.187, p = 0.014 and 0.003, respectively) and PDSR (β = 0.283 and - 0.086, p = 0.016 and 0.001, respectively), as well as radial PSSR (β = - 0.266, p = 0.007). CONCLUSIONS There was more severe subclinical LV dysfunction in T2DM patients complicated with DPN than those without DPN, suggesting further prospective study with more active intervention in this cohort of patients.

Li GA, Huang J, Fan L. Evaluation of left ventricular systolic function in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with and without peripheral vascular disease. World J Diabetes 2024; 15:1280-1290. [DOI: 10.4239/wjd.v15.i6.1280] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2024] [Revised: 02/29/2024] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 06/11/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) is a common complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Patients with T2DM have twice the risk of PVD as nondiabetic patients.
AIM To evaluate left ventricular (LV) systolic function by layer-specific global longitudinal strain (GLS) and peak strain dispersion (PSD) in T2DM patients with and without PVD.
METHODS Sixty-five T2DM patients without PVD, 57 T2DM patients with PVD and 63 normal controls were enrolled in the study. Layer-specific GLS [GLS of the epimyocardium (GLSepi), GLS of the middle myocardium (GLSmid) and GLS of the endocardium (GLSendo)] and PSD were calculated. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed to calculate the sensitivity and specificity of LV systolic dysfunction in T2DM patients with PVD. We calculated Pearson’s correlation coefficients between biochemical data, echocardiographic characteristics, and layer-specific GLS and PSD.
RESULTS There were significant differences in GLSepi, GLSmid and GLSendo between normal controls, T2DM patients without PVD and T2DM patients with PVD (P < 0.001). Trend tests revealed a ranking of normal controls > T2DM patients without PVD > T2DM patients with PVD in the absolute value of GLS (P < 0.001). PSD differed significantly between the three groups, and the trend ranking was as follows: normal controls < T2DM patients without PVD < T2DM patients with PVD (P < 0.001). ROC analysis revealed that the combination of layer-specific GLS and PSD had high diagnostic efficiency for detecting LV systolic dysfunction in T2DM patients with PVD. Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol was positively correlated with GLSepi, GLSmid and PSD (P < 0.05), while LV ejection fraction was negatively correlated with GLSepi, GLSmid and GLSendo in T2DM patients with PVD (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSION PVD may aggravate the deterioration of LV systolic dysfunction in T2DM patients. Layer-specific GLS and PSD can be used to detect LV systolic dysfunction accurately and conveniently in T2DM patients with or without PVD.

Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease and End-Stage Kidney Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Cureus 2024; 16:e51672. [PMID: 38313918 PMCID: PMC10838180 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.51672] [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] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 02/06/2024] Open
Abstract
In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we explored the utilization of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) to detect fibrotic changes secondary to uremic cardiomyopathy during the early stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and in patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Uremic myocardial fibrosis can lead to arrhythmia and heart failure, and it is important to detect these changes. CMR offers a noninvasive way to characterize the severity of cardiac remodeling. A comprehensive search of multiple electronic databases was conducted. Studies were divided according to scanner field strength (1.5 or 3 Tesla). The random effects model was used to calculate the pooled mean, 95% confidence interval (CI), standard error, and standardized mean difference (SMD). The I2 statistic was used to assess the heterogeneity between study-specific estimates. The search retrieved 779 studies. From these, 20 studies met the inclusion criteria and had 642 CKD patients (mean age of 56.8 years; 65.2% males; mean estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 33 mL/min/1.73 m2) and 658 ESKD patients on dialysis (mean age of 55.6 years; 63.3% males; mean dialysis duration of 3.47 years). CKD patients had an increased left ventricular mass index (LVMi) compared to controls, with an SMD of 0.37 (95% CI: 0.20-0.54; I2 0%; p-value <0.05). ESKD patients also had increased LVMi compared to controls, SMD 0.88 (95% CI: 0.35-1.41; I2 79.1%; p-value 0.001). Myocardial fibrosis assessment using T1 mapping showed elevated values; the SMD of native septal T1 values between CKD and controls was 1.099 (95% CI: 0.73-1.46; I2 33.6%; p-value <0.05), and the SMD of native septal T1 values between ESKD patients and controls was 1.12 (95% CI: 0.85-1.38; I2 33.69%; p-value <0.05). In conclusion, patients with CKD and ESKD with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) have higher LVMi and T1 values, indicating increased mass and fibrosis. T1 mapping can be used for the early detection of cardiomyopathy and as a risk stratification tool. Large, randomized trials are needed to confirm these findings and determine the effect of long-term dialysis on cardiac fibrosis.

BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2023; 23:434. [PMID: 37658336 PMCID: PMC10474629 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-023-03474-7] [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: 03/20/2023] [Accepted: 08/25/2023] [Indexed: 09/03/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and contributes to an elevated incidence of diastolic dysfunction in the early stages of CKD. Intracardiac vortex is a novel hemodynamic index for perceiving cardiac status. Here, we visualized left ventricular (LV) vortex characteristics using vector flow mapping (VFM) in type 2 diabetic patients with early CKD. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 67 controls and 89 type 2 diabetic patients with stages 2-3a CKD. All subjects underwent transthoracic echocardiographic examination. LV anterior vortex during early diastole (E-vortex), atrial contraction (A-vortex) and systole (S-vortex) were assessed using VFM in the apical long-axis view. Its relation to glycemia or LV filling echocardiographic parameters were further analyzed using correlation analysis. RESULTS Type 2 diabetic patients with early CKD had a small area (439.94 ± 132.37 mm2 vs. 381.66 ± 136.85 mm2, P = 0.008) and weak circulation (0.0226 ± 0.0079 m2/s vs. 0.0195 ± 0.0070 m2/s, P = 0.013) of E-vortex, but a large area (281.52 ± 137.27 mm2 vs. 514.83 ± 160.33 mm2, P ˂ 0.001) and intense circulation (0.0149 ± 0.0069 m2/s vs. 0.0250 ± 0.0067 m2/s, P < 0.001) of A-vortex compared to controls. CKD patients with poorly controlled hyperglycemia had stronger A-vortex (area: 479.06 ± 146.78 mm2 vs. 559.96 ± 159.27 mm2, P = 0.015; circulation: 0.0221 ± 0.0058 m2/s vs. 0.0275 ± 0.0064 m2/s, P < 0.001) and S-vortex (area: 524.21 ± 165.52 mm2 vs. 607.87 ± 185.33 mm2, P = 0.029; circulation: 0.0174 ± 0.0072 m2/s vs. 0.0213 ± 0.0074 m2/s, P = 0.015), and a longer relative duration of S-vortex (0.7436 ± 0.0772 vs. 0.7845 ± 0.0752, P = 0.013) than those who had well-controlled hyperglycemia. Glycemia, and E/A (a LV filling parameter) were respectively found to had close correlation to the features of A-vortex and S-vortex (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Abnormal LV vortices were detected in type 2 diabetic patients with early CKD using VFM, especially in those who neglected hyperglycemic control. LV vortex might be a promising parameter to slow or halt the hyperglycemia-induced diastolic dysfunction in early CKD.

Additive effects of mitral regurgitation on left ventricular strain in essential hypertensive patients as evaluated by cardiac magnetic resonance feature tracking. Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 9:995366.

Abstract
ObjectivesHypertension is one of the leading risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Mitral regurgitation (MR) is a heart valve disease commonly seen in hypertensive cases. This study aims to assess the effect of MR on left ventricle (LV) strain impairment among essential hypertensive cases and determine factors that independently impact the global peak strain of the LV.Materials and methodsWe enrolled 184 essential hypertensive patients, of which 53 were patients with MR [HTN (MR +) group] and 131 were without MR [HTN (MR−) group]. Another group of 61 age-and gender-matched controls was also included in the study. All participants had received cardiac magnetic resonance examination. The HTN (MR +) group was classified into three subsets based on regurgitation fraction, comprising mild MR (n = 22), moderate MR (n = 19), and severe MR (n = 12). We compared the LV function and strain parameters across different groups. Moreover, we performed multivariate linear regression to determine the independent factors affecting LV global radial peak strain (GRS), circumferential peak strain (GCS), and global longitudinal peak strain (GLS).ResultsHTN (MR−) cases exhibited markedly impaired GLS and peak diastolic strain rate (PDSR) but preserved LV ejection fraction (LVEF) compared to the controls. However, HTN (MR +) patients showed a decrease in LVEF and further deteriorated GRS, GCS, GLS, PDSR, and the peak systolic strain rate (PSSR) compared to the HTN (MR−) group and controls. With increasing degrees of regurgitation, the LV strain parameters were gradually reduced in HTN (MR +) patients. Even the mild MR group showed impaired GCS, GLS, PDSR, and PSSR compared to the HTN (MR−) group. Multiple regression analyses indicated that the degree of regurgitation was independently associated with GRS (β = -0.348), GCS (β = -0.339), and GLS (β = -0.344) in HTN (MR +) patients.ConclusionGLS was significantly impaired in HTN (MR−) patients. MR may further exacerbate the deterioration of LV strain among essential hypertensive cases. Besides, the degree of regurgitation was independently correlated with GRS, GCS, and GLS in HTN (MR +) patients.

Abstract
To investigate the effects of tegretol on oxidative stress, serum inflammatory factors, and left ventricular function in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), 70 AMI patients who received PCI in the emergency department of our hospital from January 2021 to December 2021 were collected. The patients in the control group were treated with aspirin, clopidogrel, and heparin sodium during the perioperative period, and the patients in the study group were treated with tegretol. The levels of oxidative stress, serum inflammatory factors, and left ventricular function index were compared between the two groups. The patients in the control group were treated with TT ((12.00 ± 2.05) s), APTT ((35.50 ± 4.19) s), PT ((16.60 ± 1.58) s), TT ((15.90 ± 2.14) s) APTT ((30.40 ± 3.80) s), and PT ((14.30 ± 1.45) s)) and were comparable (P > 0.05), and the difference was statistically significant (t = 8.210, 4.600, 7.010, P < 0.001). There was no comparable difference in the level of oxidative stress index before treatment (P > 0.05). After treatment, there was significant difference in MDA ((14.53 ± 2.14) mmol/L), SOD ((120.45 ± 8.17) U/L), MDA ((11.15 ± 2.02) mmol/L), and SOD ((129.86 ± 8.55) U/L) in the control group (t = 7.320, 5.099, P < 0.001). The levels of inflammatory factors in patients before treatment were not comparable (P > 0.05). After treatment, there were levels of IL-6 ((3.20 ± 1.05) ng/L), CRP ((4.80 ± 1.16) mg/L), MPO ((196.78 ± 21.51) mg/L) and TNF-α ((3.96 ± 0.80) pmol/L), IL-6 ((1.95 ± 0.80) ng/L), CRP ((3.10 ± 1.02) mg/L), MPO ((163.60 ± 21.10) mg/L), and TNF-α in a study group level ((3.05 ± 0.70) pmol/L), with statistically significant difference (t = 5.187, 6.028, 6.031, 4.689,P < 0.001). Before treatment, there was no comparable difference in the level of left ventricular function index (P > 0.05). After treatment, there was significant difference in LVEF ((46.10 ± 2.39) %) and LVDD ((52.06 ± 1.07) mm), LVEF ((56.85 ± 2.33) %), and LVDD ((48.75 ± 1.02) mm) in the control group (t = 17.640, 21.540, P < 0.001). Tegretol as an adjunctive therapy for emergency PCI patients with acute myocardial infarction can effectively improve postoperative coagulation function, reduce oxidative stress and inflammatory reaction, and improve cardiac function indicators. It has a positive clinical value.

Additive Effects of Obesity on Myocardial Microcirculation and Left Ventricular Deformation in Essential Hypertension: A Contrast-Enhanced Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study. Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 9:831231. [PMID: 35402539 PMCID: PMC8987987 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.831231] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2021] [Accepted: 02/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective The combination of hypertension and obesity is a major cause of cardiovascular risk, and microvascular changes and subclinical dysfunction should be considered to illustrate the underlying mechanisms and early identification, thereby developing targeted therapies. This study aims to explore the effect of obesity on myocardial microcirculation and left ventricular (LV) deformation in hypertensive patients by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). Methods This study comprised 101 hypertensive patients, including 54 subjects with a body mass index (BMI) of 18.5–24.9 kg/m2 and 47 subjects with a BMI ≥25 kg/m2, as well as 55 age- and sex-matched controls with a BMI of 18.5–24.9 kg/m2. Myocardial perfusion indicators [upslope, time to maximum signal intensity (TTM), maximum signal intensity (Max SI)] and LV strains [radial, circumferential, and longitudinal global peak strain (PS), peak systolic strain rate (PSSR), and peak diastolic strain rate (PDSR)] were measured. Results Upslope was numerically increased in obese patients but statistically decreased in non-obese patients compared with controls. Longitudinal PS deteriorated significantly and gradually from controls to non-obese and obese hypertensive patients. Longitudinal PSSR and PDSR were significantly decreased in obese hypertensive patients compared with the other two groups. BMI was associated with upslope (β = −0.136, P < 0.001), Max SI (β = −0.922, P < 0.001), longitudinal PSSR (β = 0.018, P < 0.001), and PDSR (β = −0.024, P = 0.001). Myocardial perfusion was independently associated with longitudinal PSSR (TTM: β = 0.003, P = 0.017) and longitudinal PDSR (upslope: β = 0.067, P = 0.020) in hypertension. Conclusion Obesity had adverse effects on microvascular changes and subclinical LV dysfunction in hypertension, and BMI was independently associated with both myocardial perfusion and LV deformation. Impaired myocardial perfusion was independently associated with subclinical LV dysfunction in hypertension.

Additive effect of aortic regurgitation degree on left ventricular strain in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus evaluated via cardiac magnetic resonance tissue tracking. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2022; 21:37. [PMID: 35277181 PMCID: PMC8917654 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-022-01471-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2022] [Accepted: 02/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus causes left ventricular (LV) remodeling and increases the risk of aortic regurgitation (AR), which causes further heart damage. This study aimed to investigate whether AR aggravates LV deformation dysfunction and to identify independent factors affecting the global peak strain (PS) of LV remodeling in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who presented with AR and those without T2DM. Methods In total, 215 patients with T2DM and 83 age- and sex-matched healthy controls who underwent cardiac magnetic resonance examination were included. Based on the echocardiogram findings, T2DM patients with AR were divided into three groups (mild AR [n = 28], moderate AR [n = 21], and severe AR [n = 17]). LV function and global strain parameters were compared, and multivariate analysis was performed to identify the independent indicators of LV PS. Results The T2DM patients with AR had a lower LV global PS, peak systolic strain rate (PSSR), and peak diastolic strain rate (PDSR) in three directions than those without AR and non-T2DM controls. Patients without AR had a lower PS (radial and longitudinal) and PDSR in three directions and higher PSSR (radial and longitudinal) than healthy controls. Further, regurgitation degree was an independent factor of LV global radial, circumferential, and longitudinal PS. Conclusion AR may aggravate LV stiffness in patients with T2DM, resulting in lower LV strain and function. Regurgitation degree and sex were independently correlated with LV global PS in patients with T2DM and AR.

A synergistic effect of variability in estimated glomerular filtration rate with chronic kidney disease on all-cause mortality prediction in patients with type 2 diabetes: a retrospective cohort study. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2021; 20:209. [PMID: 34663321 PMCID: PMC8524871 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-021-01399-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2021] [Accepted: 10/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The combination of diabetes mellitus (DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with a high risk of mortality. Annual assessment of the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is recommended for patients with DM. We investigated the effect of variability in annual eGFR values on all-cause mortality in patients with type 2 DM. Methods In this retrospective cohort study, we enrolled patients with eGFR data between 01 Aug 2017 and 31 July 2018. We defined the index eGFR as the first available eGFR value within the enrollment year and collected additional annual eGFR data from the previous three years. A total of 3592 patients with type 2 DM were enrolled, including 959 patients with CKD (index eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2) and 2633 patients without CKD. We assessed eGFR variability by using the standard deviation (SD) of the three annual eGFR and index eGFR values. We divided patients into subgroups according to the median SD of their annual eGFR (7.62 mL/min/1.73 m2). The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality after the index eGFR was assessed. Results During a median follow-up of 19 months (interquartile range: 18‒20 months), 127 (3.5%) deaths occurred among all 3592 enrolled patients. The highest mortality risk was observed in the high SD with CKD group, with a hazard ratio (HR) of 2.382 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.346‒4.215] in comparison to the low SD without CKD group after adjusting for the associated factors. In patients without CKD, a high SD was an independent risk factor for mortality (HR = 2.105, 95% CI 1.256‒3.528). According to the C-index, the mortality prediction ability was better for the index eGFR + SD model than for the index eGFR alone model (0.671 vs. 0.629, P < 0.001). Conclusion There was a synergistic effect of eGFR variability with single-measured eGFR for the prediction of mortality in patients with type 2 DM. The SD of the annual eGFR values was also an independent predictor of mortality in patients with an eGFR > 60 mL/min/1.73 m2.
