Diastolic dysfunction in postinfarction patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

Abstract

The article presents the results of the study of diastolic heart function in postinfarction patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). The majority of patients had  diastolic dysfunction (DD) of the left and right ventricles (LV and RV) by a relaxation type. It was found that the combination of postinfarction cardiosclerosis with type  2 DM is characterized by an increasing number of patients with type II (pseudonormalization) and the appearance of restrictive DD of LV, which are more severe  variants of disorders of heart relaxation. The diastolic function of RV in these patients is characterized by the appearance of type II DD. The study found that the combination of  postinfarction cardiosclerosis and type 2 DM observed deeper relaxation heart disorders than in isolated disease. The findings showed that the changes of LV diastolic  function due to the action of both pathologies, while DD of RV largely due to the influence of diabetes.
