Henry, M.D., Ph.D., Coen D. Stehouwer, M.D., Ph.D., Yvo M. Smulders, M.D., Ph.D., Giel Nijpels, M.D., Ph.D., Walter J. Paulus, M.D., Ph.D., Jacqueline M.

Study Objectives • To investigate relative contributions of glucose status and arterial stiffness to markers of left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic dysfunction after 8 years of follow-up van den Hurk K et al. Diabetes Care 2012;35:1258-1264
Study Design • Population-based prospective Hoorn Study • 394 individuals with normal LV systolic and diastolic function participated • 87 had impaired glucose metabolism • 128 had type 2 diabetes • Measurements including arterial ultrasound and echocardiography performed van den Hurk K et al. Diabetes Care 2012;35:1258-1264
Conclusions • Glucose status and arterial distensibility are independently associated with more severe LV diastolic dysfunction 8 years later and with deterioration of LV diastolic dysfunction • Type 2 diabetes and arterial stiffness may relate to LV diastolic dysfunction through different pathways van den Hurk K et al.
