Effect of glycemic control on the progress of left ventricular hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction in children with type I diabetes mellitus

Abstract: Objective: To evaluate progression of left ventricular (LV) structural and functional changes in patients with type 1 diabetes and effect of glycemic control on these changes. Methods: A prospective, longitudinal study consisted of 48 patients who were originally studied. At two years follow-up, 44 patients were reevaluated, 35 patients from the original study were reevaluated after another 2 years for the 3 rd time using the same protocol. The control group comprised 30 age-and sex-matched healthy volunteers.… Show more

“…Current evidence suggests that genetic, environmental, and immunologic factors have crucial roles in the pathogenesis of T1DM, however, there are still some gaps in current knowledge (5). Impaired blood sugar control in patients with T1DM leads to structural and functional damage to the cardiovascular system, these factors predict an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in adulthood, and studies have shown that more than 35% of people with T1DM develop vascular endothelial dysfunction after 5 years (6,7). Despite the discovery of insulin in 1921 as the main treatment for T1DM, the disease continues to be correlated with substantial medical complications associated with vascular dysfunction including retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy, atherosclerosis, and thrombosis in the heart, peripheral arteries, and brain.…”

“…The LV diastolic dysfunction in patients with DM may be caused by increased LV diastolic stiffness, deposition of advanced glycation end products, and cardiac fibrosis, all as a consequence of DM (27,28). This diastolic abnormality appears related to interstitial collagen deposition and LV hypertrophy, which appear in the absence of hypertension (12,13,29).…”

“…There is evidence that metabolic disturbances, myocardial fibrosis, small vessel disease, cardiac autonomic neuropathy, and insulin resistance may all contribute to the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy (12). The relationship between myocardial hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction and glycemic control is still a matter of debate (11,13).…”

“…Additionally, it has been demonstrated that failure to achieve glycemic control (decompensation) leads to deterioration in structural parameters of myocardial function [106-108]. Furthermore, a recent review on diabetes and cardiovascular disease showed the role of an intensive glycemic control in the reduction of mortality rates and risk of complications after an acute myocardial infarction or cardiac surgery in diabetic patients [109].…”
