Suggests subclinical diastolic changes in diabetes merit further study; leaves open impact on outcomes or management.
Case-Control (n=22)
Patients with non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus exhibit increased left ventricular chamber stiffness and impaired diastolic filling even in the absence of significant coronary stenosis.
Shimizu et al. (1991) conducted a case-control in Non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (n=22). Non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus vs. Control subjects without diabetes mellitus was evaluated on Left ventricular chamber stiffness and diastolic filling indices. Non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus was associated with increased left ventricular chamber stiffness and impaired diastolic filling compared to controls without diabetes.
