چکیده
OBJECTIVE Postprandial glycemia is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease that is more powerful than fasting glycemia and determines myocardial perfusion defects in type 2 diabetes. We examined the efficacy of two different insulin regimes (regular insulin and insulin analog) in controlling postprandial hyperglycemia and in preventing myocardial perfusion abnormalities. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 20 consecutive type 2 diabetic patients and 20 control subjects were enrolled in this randomized, three-way, cross-over, placebo-controlled study. Myocardial perfusion was assessed by myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) in fasting and postprandial (120 min) state. RESULTS Insulin analog was associated with lower, but not statistically significant, postprandial glycemia than regular insulin (glucose increase: 116 +/- 8 vs. 136 +/- 5%, P = NS). However, the area under the curve following insulin analog was significantly lower than regular insulin (18,354 +/- 702 vs. 20,757 +/- 738 mg per 120 min, P = 0.032). Fasting myocardial flow velocity (beta), myocardial blood volume (MBV), and myocardial blood flow (MBF) did not differ between control and type 2 diabetic subjects. Postprandial beta (0.67 +/- 0.24 vs. 0.92 +/- 0.25, P < 0.01), MBV (8.4 +/- 2 vs. 10.9 +/- 1.2, P < 0.01), and MBF (5.6 +/- 2 vs. 9.9 +/- 2.8, P < 0.01) increased significantly in control subjects. In type 2 diabetes, during placebo in the postprandial state, beta increased (0.65 +/- 0.27 vs. 0.89 +/- 0.24, P < 0.01), while MBV (8.34 +/- 1.2 vs. 4.3 +/- 1.3, P < 0.01) and MBF (5.4 +/- 1.5 vs. 3.4 +/- 0.9, P < 0.01) decreased. Similar changes in MCE variables were observed after regular insulin: beta increased (0.65 +/- 0.22 vs. 0.92 +/- 0.12, P < 0.01) and MBV (8.2 +/- 2 vs. 5.2 +/- 1.16, P < 0.01) and MBF (5.4 +/- 1.9 vs. 4.2 +/- 0.86, P < 0.01) were reduced. After insulin analog, postprandial beta (0.66 +/- 0.18 vs. 0.9 +/- 0.18, P < 0.01), MBV (8.2 +/- 1.6 vs. 9.6 +/- 1.2, P < 0.01), and MBF (5.4 +/- 2 vs. 7.2 +/- 1.9, P < 0.01) increased. Values of postprandial MBV and MBF were higher after insulin analog than regular insulin treatment. CONCLUSIONS Insulin analog partially reversed myocardial perfusion abnormalities observed in postprandial state by improving glucose control.

Postprandial myocardial perfusion in healthy subjects and in type 2 diabetic patients.
BACKGROUND In diabetic patients, postprandial hyperglycemia is a more powerful risk factor for cardiovascular disease than fasting hyperglycemia itself. A negative influence of acute hyperglycemia on systemic endothelial function (brachial artery) has been shown. However, myocardial perfusion during postprandial hyperglycemia has not been investigated. METHODS AND RESULTS We evaluated the eff...
متن کاملClinical value and severity of myocardial perfusion defects in asymptomatic diabetic patients with negative or weakly positive exercise treadmill test
Objective: Although coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death in type 2 diabetic patients, it is frequently asymptomatic. Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is reported to show ischemia in a significant number of asymptomatic diabetic patients. We studied the prevalence and severity of myocardial perfusion defects in asymptomatic diabetic patients and its clinical impact. Meth...
