Diabetes mellitus is an independent predictor of right ventricular dysfunction

چکیده
Background The World Health Organization estimates that diabetes mellitus (DM) affects 347 million people worldwide and will be the 7 leading cause of death by 2030. Right ventricular (RV) myocardial infarction and subsequent dysfunction complicating STEMI is independently associated with a higher mortality. Emerging research suggests that mechanisms for RV dysfunction may be different than those governing left ventricular dysfunction. The relationship between DM and RV dysfunction is currently unknown. The primary purpose of this study was to determine whether DM is an independent predictor for the development of right ventricular dysfunction.

Diabetes is an independent predictor of right ventricular dysfunction post ST-elevation myocardial infarction
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus (DM) is estimated to become the 7th leading cause of death by 2030. Right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) complicating ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is independently associated with a higher mortality; however the relationship between DM and RVD is currently unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine whether DM is an independent predictor for the...
متن کاملRight ventricular dysfunction and risk of heart failure and mortality after myocardial infarction.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the prognostic value of right ventricular (RV) function in patients after a myocardial infarction (MI). BACKGROUND Right ventricular function has been shown to predict exercise capacity, autonomic imbalance and survival in patients with advanced heart failure (HF). METHODS Two-dimensional echocardiograms were obtained in 416 patients with le...
متن کاملComparison of Fetal Echocardiography for Fetal Cardiac Structure in Women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and Normal Pregnancies
BackgroundIncreased metabolic rate of hyperglycemia in gestational diabetes causes macrosomia, which can also affect the fetal heart. The thickness of the walls of the heart and its function in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) can change over time before treatment. We aimed to evaluate fetal cardiac structure in terms of ventricular wall thickness and its function in women w...
متن کاملImpact of diabetes mellitus on long-term survival in patients with congestive heart failure.
AIMS To test the hypothesis that diabetic status may be used as a prognostic indicator in heart failure (HF) patients. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 1246 consecutive patients with left ventricular dysfunction. All patients had a cardiopulmonary exercise test and an echocardiogram. Cardiac catheterisation was systematically performed to define HF aetiology. Twenty-two percent of the patients ...
متن کاملNon-insulin dependent diabetes as an independent predictor of asymptomatic left ventricular diastolic dysfunction.
AIM To assess the prevalence of diastolic dysfunction of the left ventricle in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and its relation to patients' age and duration of diabetes. METHODS This case-control study included 228 subjects. The group of cases consisted of 114 patients with NIDDM. The group of controls included 114 subjects without diabetes, enrolled in the stud...
