Summary: | Background
Prediabetes is considered a major risk factor for diabetes mellitus (DM), leading to microvascular and cardiovascular disorders. Myocardial performance index (MPI) is a non-invasive Doppler method for the determination of global ventricular activity. We have not enough knowledge about the effect of prediabetes on the left ventricular (LV) function. We aimed to assess the MPI in prediabetic patients without coronary artery disease (CAD) utilizing echocardiography tissue Doppler imaging (TDI).
Results
We conducted a randomized controlled study that included fifty prediabetic patients and fifty healthy participants as the control group. All the participants were subjected to laboratory tests and echocardiography TDI to evaluate the LV systolic and diastolic functions
We found that the isovolumic relaxation time (IVRT) and MPI values were significantly increased in the prediabetic patients compared to the control group (
P
< 0.001). In contrast, left ventricular ejection time (ET) was significantly longer in the control group than in prediabetic patients.
Conclusion
Prediabetes may adversely affect the LV function as assessed by MPI. Screening for prediabetes and early intervention is required for the prevention of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. |
