Investigation of endothelial dysfunction and arterial stiffness in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus and the association with diastolic dysfunction

Abstract: Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate endothelial dysfunction (ED) and arterial stiffness (AS) and determine the association with diastolic dysfunction in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods: A total of 42 patients without diabetic complications (mean age: 13.21 years) and 40 healthy (mean age: 13.07 years) children were included in this study. AS was assessed with ascending aorta M-mode measurements, diastolic dysfunction with pulsed wave (PW) Doppler and tissue Doppler ech… Show more

“…These changes reflect early changes in myocardial relaxation. DD in diabetic children was reported by other investigators 21)22)23). LV DD in patients with diabets mellitus (DM) may be caused by increased LV diastolic stiffness, deposition of advanced glycation end (AGE) products, and cardiac fibrosis, all as a consequence of DM 3).…”

“…Dysfunction of the vascular endothelium is regarded as an important factor in the pathogenesis of vascular complications in patients with DM. 15 Chronic low-grade inflammation can be the cause and the consequence of endothelial dysfunction. 16 In addition, enhanced activation of the clotting cascade has recently been implicated as an important contributing factor for the occurrence of vascular complications in DM.…”

“…Endothelial dysfunction (ED) is an early sign of atherosclerosis, it can be detected before coronary heart disease and other macrovascular complications of DM occur [8, 9], and it can be involved in the pathophysiology of cardiac abnormalities in these patients. The endothelium plays a central role in the regulation of arterial tone and blood flow, and it orchestrates the production of nitric oxide, prostacyclin, endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor, and vasoconstrictors such as endothelin-1 and angiotensin II [10].…”
