Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the left atrial structure and function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) at different stages by four-dimensional automatic left atrial quantitation (4D-LAQ) and to explore the independent correlative factors affecting left atrial function of patients.Methods:Ninety-six patients who were diagnosed with T2DM in Fuwai Central China Cardiovascular Hospital endocrinology from December 2020 to October 2021 were selected as the case group, all cases were divided into two groups according to whether or not they have the microvascular complication: 48 patients with simple diabetes in DM1 group, 48 patients with microvascular complications in DM2 group. Forty-eight healthy volunteers during the same period were randomly recruited as the control group. Left atrial diameter (LAD), inter-ventricular septal thickness (IVST), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDd), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), peak value of early diastolic velocity of mitral inflow (E), peak value of late diastolic velocity of mitral inflow (A), peak value of early diastolic tissue Doppler velocity of septal and lateral walls of mitral annulus (septal e′, lateral e′) were routinely measured, E/A, mean e′ and mean E/e′ were calculated.4D-LAQ technique was used to obtain left atrial minimum volume (LAVmin), left atrial maximum volume (LAVmax), left atrial pre-systolic volume (LAVpreA), left atrial maximum volume index (LAVImax), left atrial total emptying fraction (LAEF), left atrial reservoir longitudinal strain (LASr), left atrial conduit longitudinal strain (LAScd) and left atrial contraction longitudinal strain (LASct). The differences of left atrial parameters among three groups were compared. The independent correlation factors affecting left atrial function were investigated by univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses.Results:Compared with the control group, LAEF, LASr and LAScd were decreased in the DM1 group (all P<0.05), there were no significant differences in LAVImax, LAVIpreA and LAVImin between the two groups (all P>0.05). Compared with the control group and DM1 group, LAEF, LASr and LAScd were decreased, LAVImax, LAVIpreA and LAVImin were increased in the DM2 group (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in LASct among the three groups (all P>0.05). Multivariate linear regression analyses showed duration of diabetes was independently and negatively correlated with LASr (β=-0.405, P<0.001); Body mass index(BMI) and E were independently and negatively correlated with LAScd(β=-0.159, P=0.049; β=-0.408, P<0.001), and duration of diabetes and E/e′ were independently and positively correlated with LAScd(β=0.399, P<0.001; β=0.253, P=0.004). Conclusions:Left atrial reservoir function and conduit function are impaired in T2DM patients, and deteriotated as the disease progresses. Duration of diabetes, BMI, E and E/e′ are the independent correlative factors affecting left atrial function.
