Non-insulin dependent diabetes as an independent predictor of asymptomatic left ventricular diastolic dysfunction

To assess the prevalence of diastolic dysfunction of the left ventricle in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and its relation to patients' age and duration of diabetes. This case-control study included 228 subjects. The group of cases consisted of 114 patients with N...

Zusammenfassung:To assess the prevalence of diastolic dysfunction of the left ventricle in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and its relation to patients' age and duration of diabetes. This case-control study included 228 subjects. The group of cases consisted of 114 patients with NIDDM. The group of controls included 114 subjects without diabetes, enrolled in the study at the same time as the group of cases. Diastolic function of the left ventricle was assessed by pulsed Doppler echocardiography. The ratio between the maximal early filling velocity (E wave) and the maximal late (atrial) filling velocity (A wave) less than 1 (E/A ratio
