PG - 108361 LID - S1056-8727(22)00273-2 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jdiacomp.2022.108361 [doi] AB - AIMS: We used 4D-Auto LAQ to quantitatively evaluate the morphological and functional changes of left atrium in patients with asymptomatic type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and explored its correlations with diabetic microvascular complications (MICRO). METHODS: This study included 319 patients with asymptomatic T2DM. According to the occurrence of MICRO, these patients were divided into 3 groups: patients with no complication, 1 complication, and 2-3 complications. 4D-Auto LAQ was used to evaluate left atrial volume (LAVImin, LAVImax, LAVIpre) and calculate the left atrial function (DEI, PEI, AEI) in different phases. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the correlation between changes in left atrial volume and function and the number of MICROs in DM patients. RESULTS: A total of 279 patients with asymptomatic T2DM were included in this study. (1) The ultrasound data of the three T2DM groups showed that there was no significant difference in left ventricular size and function among the three groups; (2) with the increase of MICRO number, the left atrial volume (LAVImin, LAVImax, LAVIpre) progressively increased, the left atrial storage function index (DEI) gradually decreased, and the differences were significant (P < 0.05). (3) Multiple linear regression analysis showed that: with the increase of MICRO number (no complication-->1 complication-->2-3 complications), the left atrial volume (LAVImin, LAVIpre) showed an increasing trend (both P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: In asymptomatic T2DM patients, MICRO number showed a significant positive correlation with LAVImin and LAVIpre (P < 0.05). Therefore, the increase in left atrial volume can dynamically reflect the severity of microvascular lesions in patients with asymptomatic T2DM. CI - Copyright (c) 2022 The Authors.
