China: A recent study utilizing cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has provided significant insights into the subclinical left ventricular (LV) myocardial dysfunction among patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), highlighting the intersection between diabetes-related complications and cardiovascular health.
Using cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), researchers found that T2DM patients with DPN exhibited more pronounced subclinical left ventricular myocardial dysfunction than those without DPN. Key metrics, including LV radial and longitudinal peak strains and peak diastolic strain rates, were lower in DPN patients, indicating severe subclinical LV dysfunction. The findings were published online in Cardiovascular Diabetology on June 24, 2024.
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is a common complication of T2DM, characterized by nerve damage in the extremities due to prolonged exposure to high blood sugar levels. While the link between T2DM and cardiovascular disease is well-established, the study aimed to investigate the subclinical LV myocardial dysfunction in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with and without DPN.
