  • Diabetes Reduces Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction-Irrespective Of
    European Journal of Endocrinology (2011) 165 945–951 ISSN 0804-4643 CLINICAL STUDY Diabetes reduces left ventricular ejection fraction-irrespective of presence and extent of coronary artery disease Niklas F Ehl1, Michael Ku¨hne1, Miriam Brinkert1, Jan Mu¨ller-Brand2 and Michael J Zellweger1 Departments of 1Cardiology and 2Nuclear Medicine, University Hospital, Petersgraben 4, CH - 4031 Basel, Switzerland (Correspondence should be addressed to M J Zellweger; Email: [email protected]) Abstract Background: It is not clear whether diabetes reduces systolic left ventricular function (left ventricular ejection fraction, LVEF) irrespective of coronary artery disease (CAD). The aim of this study was to compare the LVEF between diabetic and non-diabetic patients with respect to the extent of CAD. Methods and results: Consecutive patients undergoing stress myocardial perfusion SPECT (MPS) were evaluated. MPS was interpreted using a 20-segment model with a five-point scale to define summed stress score (SSS), summed rest score, and summed difference score. LVEF was measured by gated SPECT and then compared with respect to diabetic status and SSS categories. Of 2635 patients, data of 2400 was available. Of these, 24% were diabetic, mean age was 64G11y, and 31% were female. Diabetics had a significantly lower LVEF compared with non-diabetics regardless of the extent of CAD: 53G13 and 55G13% respectively (PZ0.001). Diabetics and non-diabetics did not differ significantly in the distribution of SSS categories. Diabetes was an independent predictor of decreased LVEF (odds ratio 1.6, 95% confidence interval 1.2–2.0; P!0.001). Conclusion: Diabetics had a lower LVEF than non-diabetics.

    Phenotype definition for the Vanderbilt Genome-Electronic Records project Identifying genetics determinants of normal QRS duration (QRSd) Patient population: • Patients with DNA whose first electrocardiogram (ECG) is designated as “normal” and lacking an exclusion criteria. • For this study, case and control are drawn from the same population and analyzed via continuous trait analysis. The only difference will be the QRSd. Hypothetical timeline for a single patient: Notes: • The study ECG is the first normal ECG. • The “Mildly abnormal” ECG cannot be abnormal by presence of heart disease. It can have abnormal rate, be recorded in the presence of Na-channel blocking meds, etc. For instance, a HR >100 is OK but not a bundle branch block. • Y duration = from first entry in the electronic medical record (EMR) until one month following normal ECG • Z duration = most recent clinic visit or problem list (if present) to one week following the normal ECG. Labs values, though, must be +/- 48h from the ECG time Criteria to be included in the analysis: Criteria Source/Method “Normal” ECG must be: • QRSd between 65-120ms ECG calculations • ECG designed as “NORMAL” ECG classification • Heart Rate between 50-100 ECG calculations • ECG Impression must not contain Natural Language Processing (NLP) on evidence of heart disease concepts (see ECG impression. Will exclude all but list below) negated terms (e.g., exclude those with possible, probable, or asserted bundle branch blocks).

  • Vascular Endothelial Dysfunction, a Major Mediator in Diabetic Cardiomyopathy
    www.nature.com/aps REVIEW ARTICLE Vascular endothelial dysfunction, a major mediator in diabetic cardiomyopathy Maura Knapp1, Xin Tu1 and Rongxue Wu1 Diabetes mellitus is currently a major public health problem. A common complication of diabetes is cardiac dysfunction, which is recognized as a microvascular disease that leads to morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients. While ischemic events are commonly observed in diabetic patients, the risk for developing heart failure is also increased, independent of the severity of coronary artery disease and hypertension. This diabetes-associated clinical entity is considered a distinct disease process referred to as “diabetic cardiomyopathy”. However, it is not clear how diabetes promotes cardiac dysfunction. Vascular endothelial dysfunction is thought to be one of the key risk factors. The impact of diabetes on the endothelium involves several alterations, including hyperglycemia, fatty acid oxidation, reduced nitric oxide (NO), oxidative stress, inflammatory activation, and altered barrier function. The current review provides an update on mechanisms that specifically target endothelial dysfunction, which may lead to diabetic cardiomyopathy. Keywords: cardiomyopathy; diabetes; diabetic cardiovascular complications; endothelium; vascular; heart failure; metabolism Acta Pharmacologica Sinica (2019) 40:1–8; https://doi.org/10.1038/s41401-018-0042-6 INTRODUCTION Clinical manifestations of diabetic cardiomyopathy Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality Diabetic cardiomyopathy affects both type 1 and type 2 diabetic in diabetic patients. It has long been established that diabetes patients and is characterized by a variety of functional and significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, with structural changes in the heart. In early stages of the disease, left diabetic men being two times more likely to suffer from ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) is the most prevalent congestive heart failure (CHF) than non-diabetic individuals and cardiac complication [8, 9].

Porselvi Department of Pharmaceutics, SRM College of Pharmacy, SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Kattankulathur, 603203, Kancheepuram district, Tamil nadu, India. Correspondence: M. S. Umashankar, Department of Pharmaceutics, SRM College of Pharmacy, SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Kattankulathur, 603203, Kancheepuram district, Tamil nadu, India. E_mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is an idiopathic condition manifesting decreased contractility of heart, which is irreversible and slowly progressive. DCM, thyroid disorder and diabetes mellitus are the most interlinked symptomatology. Thyroid disease is a common endocrine disorder associated with diabetic cardiomyopathy. The complications which have been exhibited are contractile dysfunction, systolic dysfunction, ventricular dysfunction and diastolic dysfunction, ventricular diastolic and systolic dysfunction. A case study of a 75-year-old female patient visited the general medicine OPD with chief complaints of shortness of the breath, swelling of legs, chest discomfort, severe constipation, fatigue and palpitation. The patient was advised to have electrocardiogram which showed atrial fibrillation with ventricular tachycardia, and the chest X-ray which revealed cardiomegaly. The patient was also undergone echocardiogram which showed dilated cardiomyopathy with severely decreased left ventricular systolic function and a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction of 39%. Thyroid function test revealed a low hormone level. A regular treatment and continued patient’s follow up care were suggested to the patient, and she manifested a progressive development of her condition. The patient was prescribed with discharge medications, and advised for a follow-up care. Keywords: Dilated cardiomyopathy, thyroid diseases, diabetes mellitus, diastolic and systolic dysfunction.
