Anatomical and functional cardiac abnormalities in type I diabetes

Abstract: To analyse the anatomy and systolic and diastolic cardiac function in a group of type I diabetics with no other abnormality and to correlate it with the duration of the disease, the presence of complications, the control of the diabetes and the abnormalities in the autonomous nervous system, 125 type I diabetics and 50 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were studied. In 112 diabetics, an echocardiographic image which enabled us to calculate the thickness, cavity dimensions and systolic function rates was ob… Show more

“…The presence of myocardial dysfunction independent of coronary artery disease in diabetes mellitus has been well documented in both humans and animals (Fein, 1990;Illan et al, 1992;Regan et al, 1994;Bell, 1995;FIG 8. Role of PARP in the development of endothelial cell dysfunction in diabetes mellitus.…”

“…The mechanism of diastolic dysfunction remains unknown but it does not appear to be due to changes in blood pressure, microvascular complications or elevated circulating glycated hemoglobin levels [78][79][80][81][82]. There is circumstantial clinical and experimental evidence suggesting that increased sympathetic activity, activated cardiac renin-angiotensin system, myocardial ischemia/functional hypoxia, and elevated circulating levels of glucose result in oxidative and nitrosative stress in cardiovascular system of diabetic animals and humans.…”

“…The presence of myocardial dysfunction independent of coronary artery disease in diabetes, known as "diabetic cardiomyopathy," has been well documented in both humans and animals (11)(12)(13)(14)(15). Diabetic cardiomyopathy is characterized by an early diastolic dysfunction and a late systolic one, with intracellular retention of calcium and sodium and loss of potassium.…”
