Depressed myocardial mechano-energetic efficiency in subjects with dysglycemia

Evidence indicate that 1 h post-load glucose levels (1hPG) ≥ 155 mg/dl identify amongst subjects with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) a new category of prediabetes (NGT 1 h-high). A compromised myocardial mechano-energetic efficiency (MEE) is associated with type 2 diabetes and predicts adverse cardi...

Description
Summary:Evidence indicate that 1 h post-load glucose levels (1hPG) ≥ 155 mg/dl identify amongst subjects with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) a new category of prediabetes (NGT 1 h-high). A compromised myocardial mechano-energetic efficiency (MEE) is associated with type 2 diabetes and predicts adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Herein, we explored the association between prediabetes conditions such as NGT 1 h-high, impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and a decreased MEE. MEE was assessed by an echocardiography-derived measure in 1467 non-diabetic individuals subdivided according to their glucose tolerance: NGT and 1-hPG
