Purpose
To evaluate how left ventricular deformation is influenced by hypertension, and related clinical and imaging variables in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) utilizing multiparametric cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging.
Methods and materials
A total of 50 T2DM patients (23 patients without hypertension [T2DM(HT-)] and 27 patients with hypertension [T2DM(HT+)]) and 22 controls were performed the CMR examination and evaluated in this study. CMR-derived parameters including cardiac geometry, microvascular perfusion, T1 mapping, and strain were analyzed and compared among T2DM(HT-), T2DM(HT+) and controls with adjustment age, sex, and heart rate. The effect of hypertension in T2DM patients were identified in multivariable analyses for associated with LV deformation.
Results
Compared with controls, patients with T2DM showed reduced microvascular perfusion, reduced strain, increased LV remodeling index, and increased extracellular volume (ECV)(figure 1and figure 2). Hypertension contributes to greater deterioration of LV strain and LV remodeling index in T2DM patients after adjustment for covariates, but did not differ in microvascular perfusion and ECV(figure 1and figure 2).
In univariable analysis, regardless of coexisting diseases, diabetes and hypertension were significantly correlated with myocardial strain, and longer duration of diabetes and higher systolic blood pressure (SBP) were associated with...
Conclusion
In conclusion, T2DM is related to decreased LV microvascular function, concentric remodeling, myocardial fibrosis and deformation dysfunction, the coexistence of hypertension in diabetes worsens LVcardiac function.
