Abstract/OtherAbstract:
BACKGROUND: Early diagnosis of cardiovascular disease in diabetic patients may be important to introduce treatment early. Echocardiography is a method used to show the ventricular functions. A ventricular hormone, BNP is used to identify the changes in the ventricular function in early period. NT-proBNP which is a more stable compound with a longer half-life is used in measurement of BNP. METHODS: Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) was detected and NT-proBNP levels were measured in forty-four asymptomatic patients with ages of 30-70 and type 2 DM and control group consisted of 40 healthy individuals from the same age group. RESULTS: NT-proBNP levels were found as 566.7±738.5pg/ml in the diabetics with LVDD detected, 166.3±137.1pg/ml in the diabetics without LVDD and 134.5±77.2pg/ml in the control group. Levels of NT-proBNP were significantly higher in the group with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (p<0.05). However, when the levels of NT-proBNP in the diabetic patients without LVDD were compared with the controls, the difference was not significant (p>0.05). NT-proBNP levels were found significantly higher in LVDD group compared to the controls without a difference between the ejection fractions (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: High levels of NT-proBNP was correlated tissue Doppler echocardiography findings in type 2 DM patients with preserved ejection fraction.
