Abstract Background Stroke is a serious complication in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Arterial stiffness may improve stroke prediction. We investigated the association between carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity [PWV] and the progression of cerebral white matter hyperintensities (WMH), a marker of stroke risk, in patients with T2DM and controls. Methods In a 5-year cohort study, data from 45 patients and 59 non-diabetic controls were available for analysis. At baseline, participants had a mean (± SD) age of 59  ±  10 years and patients had a median (range) diabetes duration of 1.8 (0.8–3.2) years. PWV was obtained by tonometry and WMH volume by an automated segmentation algorithm based on cerebral T2-FLAIR and T1 MRI (corrected by intracranial volume, cWMH). High PWV was defined above 8.94 m/s (corresponding to the reference of high PWV above 10 m/s using the standardized path length method). Results Patients with T2DM had a higher PWV than controls (8.8  ±  2.2 vs. 7.9  ±  1.4 m/s, p  <  0.01). WMH progression were similar in the two groups (p  =  0.5). One m/s increase in baseline PWV was associated with a 16% [95% CI 1–32%], p  <  0.05) increase in cWMH volume at 5 years follow-up after adjustment for age, sex, diabetes, pulse pressure and smoking. High PWV was associated with cWMH progression in the combined cohort (p  <  0.05). We found no interaction between diabetes and PWV on cWMH progression. Conclusions PWV is associated with cWMH progression in patients with type 2 diabetes and non-diabetic controls. Our results indicate that arterial stiffness may be involved early in the pathophysiology leading to cerebrovascular diseases.

Abstract Early detection of silent myocardial ischemia (SMI) in asymptomatic middle-aged patients (pts) with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) may be important due to the generally poor prognosis and early myocardial involvement in this specific subgroup of diabetic population. Our goal was to evaluate whether subclinical left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction assessed by two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) is independently related to SMI detected by MPI (gated SPECT myocardial scintigraphy) and if it could provide incremental information over baseline characteristics to identify it. We have tested the hypothesis that the myocardial mechanics significantly differ in asymptomatic middle-aged diabetics, depending on the presence or absence of SMI. In total, 60 consecutive middle-aged (&lt;60 years; 42 males, 70.0%) asymptomatic T2DM pts were enrolled into the study. MPI was performed in one-day protocol according to the EANM procedural guidelines, and SMI was diagnosed consensually by two experts as myocardial perfusion abnormalities without associated symptoms. The T2DM pts were subdivided into two groups according to the results of MPI, namely SMI group (n = 11) and non-SMI group (n= 49) Global longitudinal peak systolic strain (GLPSS) was measured from two- and four-chamber views cines using Automated Function Imaging (Vivid S6, GE). Subclinical LV dysfunction was defined as GLPSS of &gt; -20%. Prevalence of SMI in T2DM pts was 18,3%. All pts in SMI group (n = 11) were of male gender, and disease duration ≥ 5 years. Pooled data from 2D-STE showed significant reduction in mean absolute GLPSS values (p&lt;.001). Further more, pts in SMI group had more impaired GLPSS when compared with patients in non-SMI group (-16.1 ± 1.5% vs. -20.4 ± 1.8%, P &lt; .01). At multivariate analysis, male gender, an amount of epicardial adipose tissue and erectile dysfunction in men were independently associated with SMI. The addition of the LV GLPSS values to other selected independent clinical variables significantly improved the ability to predict SMI in these patients (χ(2) = 48.62; P = .001). Asymptomatic middle-aged T2DM pts with SMI showed a more impaired LV GLPSS compared with patients without silent ischemia. The presence of subclinical LV systolic dysfunction provides significant incremental value for the identification of SMI in asymptomatic middle-aged diabetics.
