Type 2 & other diabetes

Incremental effect of coronary obstruction on myocardial microvascular dysfunction in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients evaluated by first-pass perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) study

Cardiovasc DiabetolPublished Cross-sectional study

Authors' conclusion

Coronary artery obstruction in the context of T2DM exacerbated myocardial microcirculation damage. The presence of OCAD and Gensini score were independent predictors of decreased microvascular function.

Study context

Population
T2DM patients with or without obstructive coronary artery disease, and controls, undergoing CMR297 T2DM, 89 controls
Participants
188 / 109 / 89
Exposure
T2DM with obstructive coronary artery disease (OCAD) vs T2DM without OCAD vs controls
  • T2DM(OCAD -)n = 188
  • T2DM(OCAD +)n = 109
  • Controln = 89reference
Outcome
CMR perfusion parameters (upslope, max signal intensity (MaxSI), TTM) in global and segmental slices
Methodological detailsCMR first-pass perfusion
  • CMR first-pass perfusion

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

From controls through T2DM(OCAD +) with Gensini score ≤ 64 to Gensini score > 64, upslope declined and TTM prolonged progressively in global and mid-ventricular slice
all P < 0.05

Observational data: associations, not effects.
