PG - 295 LID - 10.1186/s12933-023-01997-z [doi] LID - 295 AB - PURPOSE: The study was designed to assess the effect of co-occurrence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension on the deterioration of left atrioventricular coupling index (LACI) and left atrial (LA) function in comparison to individuals suffering from DM only. METHODS: From December 2015 to June 2022, we consecutively recruited patients with clinically diagnosed DM who underwent cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) at our hospital. The study comprised a total of 176 patients with DM, who were divided into two groups based on their blood pressure status: 103 with hypertension (DM + HP) and 73 without hypertension (DM-HP). LA reservoir function (reservoir strain (epsilon(s)), total LA ejection fraction (LAEF)), conduit function (conduit strain (epsilon(e)), passive LAEF), booster-pump function (booster strain (epsilon(a)) and active LAEF), LA volume index (LAVI), LV global longitudinal strain (LVGLS), and LACI were evaluated and compared between the two groups. RESULTS: After adjusting for age, sex, body surface area (BSA), and history of current smoking, total LAEF (61.16 +/- 14.04 vs. 56.05 +/- 12.72, p = 0.013) and active LAEF (43.98 +/- 14.33 vs. 38.72 +/- 13.51, p = 0.017) were lower, while passive LAEF (33.22 +/- 14.11 vs. 31.28 +/- 15.01, p = 0.807) remained unchanged in the DM + HP group compared to the DM-HP group. The DM + HP group had decreased epsilon(s) (41.27 +/- 18.89 vs. 33.41 +/- 13.94, p = 0.006), epsilon(e) (23.69 +/- 12.96 vs. 18.90 +/- 9.90, p = 0.037), epsilon(a) (17.83 +/- 8.09 vs. 14.93 +/- 6.63, p = 0.019), and increased LACI (17.40+/-10.28 vs. 22.72+/-15.01, p = 0.049) when compared to the DM-HP group. In patients with DM, multivariate analysis revealed significant independent associations between LV GLS and epsilons (beta=-1.286, p < 0.001), epsilone (beta=-0.919, p < 0.001), and epsilona (beta=-0.324, p = 0.036). However, there was no significant association observed between LV GLS and LACI (beta=-0.003, p = 0.075). Additionally, hypertension was found to independently contribute to decreased epsilona (beta=-2.508, p = 0.027) and increased LACI in individuals with DM (beta = 0.05, p = 0.011). CONCLUSIONS: In DM patients, LV GLS showed a significant association with LA phasic strain. Hypertension was found to exacerbate the decline in LA booster strain and increase LACI in DM patients, indicating potential atrioventricular coupling index alterations. CI - (c) 2023. The Author(s).
