Introduction:
Prediabetes is a high-risk condition for diabetes mellitus type 2, which is an important public health issue. The myocardial performance index (MPI) is a noninvasive Doppler measurement of global ventricular function. We evaluated the MPI and left ventricular (LV) function in prediabetic patients who did not have coronary artery disease.
Methods:
In total, 80 prediabetics (34 females and 46 males) and an equal number of sex-matched healthy volunteers (35 females and 45 males) were enrolled prospectively. All subjects underwent laboratory analyses and echocardiographic examinations, including MPI measurements.
Results:
There was a moderate increase in MPI between healthy controls and prediabetics (P < .001). Prediabetes was strongly associated with MPI (r = .553, P < .001). We found that MPI was associated with prediabetes on multivariate logistic regression analysis (Odds Ratio (OR) = 1.967, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.574-2.459, P < .001).
Conclusions:
The results of this study show that systolic functions and LV diastolic parameters were adversely affected in prediabetic patients. Prediabetes is closely associated with subclinical LV systolic and diastolic dysfunction as assessed by MPI.
