Diabetic cardiomyopathy

Abstract: Diabetic individuals are at significantly greater risk of developing heart failure (HF) independent from other risk factors such as coronary artery disease (CAD) and hypertension. Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCP) is defined as ventricular dysfunction in the absence of hypertension, coronary artery and valvular heart disease, which increases the risk of HF. Due to better understanding of its pathophysiology and clinical importance, DCP is more frequently recognized in daily practice. The most important mechanisms … Show more

“…In addition to diastolic dysfunction, hyperglycemia can cause modest systolic impairment (22). To determine the extent by which systolic function was impaired in this study, we evaluated EF and FS using echocardiography.…”

“…Oxidative stress is a major mechanism which contributes to impaired heart function in diabetes and the RAS has a significant role in the generation of oxidative stress (22, 24, 34). Consistently, a renin inhibitor, which inhibits both intra- and extracellular Ang II formation, completely protected the diabetic heart from oxidative stress.…”

“…6 However, these enzymatic antioxidants exhibit reduced expression and activity under diabetic conditions 6,15 because of increased oxidative stress triggered by hyperglycemia. 16 Hyperglycemia triggered-oxidative stress occurs through multiple mechanisms, including increased glucose autoxidation, increased metabolism of glucose through alternative metabolic pathways, increased formation of advanced glycation endproducts, and local activation of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. 6 Bioactive chemical compounds that possess antioxidant activities coupled with ability to suppress maladaptive signaling might be of therapeutic benefit in oxidative stress-induced cardiac hypertrophy.…”

“…Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R) injury occurs inevitably in a wide range of patients, such as survivors of cardiac arrest, victims of acute myocardial infarction, as well as in patients undergoing cardiac surgery (1). MI/R leads to oxidative stress, which subsequently leads to reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, an increase in malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and subsequent cytotoxic injury (2,3).…”
