Measures of Left Ventricular Diastolic Function and Cardiorespiratory Fitness According to Glucose Metabolism Status: The Maastricht Study.

ABSTRACT: Background This cross-sectional study evaluated associations between structural and functional measures of left ventricular diastolic function and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in a well-characterized population-based cohort stratified according to glucose metabolism status. Methods and Results Six hundred seventy-two participants from The Maastricht Study (mean±SD age, 61±9 years; 17.4% prediabetes and 25.4% type 2 diabetes mellitus) underwent both echocardiography to determine left atrial volume index, left ventricular mass index, maximum tricuspid flow regurgitation, average e' and E/e' ratio; and submaximal cycle ergometer test to determine CRF as maximum power output per kilogram body mass. Associations were examined with linear regression adjusted for cardiovascular risk and lifest
