Impact of pretransplant T2DM on left ventricular deformation and myocardial perfusion in heart transplanted recipients: a 3.0 T cardiac magnetic resonance study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pretransplant type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with increased cardiovascular and all-cause mortality after heart transplant (HT), but the underlying causes of this association remain unclear. The purpose of this research was to examine the impact of T2DM on left ventricular (LV) myocardial deformation and myocardial perfusion following heart transplantation using cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging.

Methods

We investigated thirty-one HT recipients with pretransplant T2DM [HT(DM+)], thirty-four HT recipients without pretransplant T2DM [HT(DM-)] and thirty-six controls. LV myocardial strains, including the global longitudinal, radial, and circumferential strain (GLS, GRS and GCS, respectively), were calculated and compared among groups, as were re
