Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Using left ventriculography, left ventricular diastolic function was studied in 24 diabetic patients who had angina pectoris without atherosclerotic large-vessel coronary artery diseases (group A, 14 patients with exercise-induced ischemic ST-T changes as seen during electrocardiogram; group B, 10 patients without such changes). In groups A and B, the global peak filling rate was significantly less than that in control patients without diabetes or cardiac diseases. The ratio of the global time to the peak filling rate to the diastolic time was higher in both groups A and B than in the control groups. However, the total of time differences, defined as the sum of the time differences between global time to the peak filling rate and each of the three regional time to the peak filling rate, was greater in group A than in either group B or the control patients. Total time difference was similar in group B and the controls. Left ventricular diastolic filling was impaired in diabetic patients without large-vessel coronary artery disease. Impaired diastolic filling was present regionally in patients with ischemic ST-T change but globally in those without such change.
