ABSTRACT
Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (DM) is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) worldwide, and is associated with an increased risk of left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy, LV systolic and diastolic dysfunctions. The aim of this study was to investigate abnormal echocardiographic findings in patients with CKD with and without DM, and identify the factors associated with these abnormalities. We enrolled 356 pre-dialysis patients with CKD (stages 3–5), including 208 with DM and 148 without DM. The structure and systolic and diastolic functions of the left ventricle were assessed using echocardiography, and the clinical and echocardiographic parameters were analyzed. The patients with DM had higher rates of observed/predicted left ventricular mass > 128% (69.5% vs. 56.7%, p = 0.015), midwall fractional shortening < 14% (22.6% vs. 8.8%, p = 0.001), and ratio of peak early transmitral filling wave velocity to early diastolic velocity of lateral mitral annulus > 12 (32.7% vs. 16.2%, p < 0.001) than those without DM. Multivariate analysis showed that male sex, a history of smoking, high systolic blood pressure, high body mass index, high levels of fasting glucose and total cholesterol, low levels of albumin and hemoglobin, and a low estimated glomerular filtration rate were associated with abnormal echocardiographic findings. The rates of inappropriate left ventricular mass, systolic and diastolic dysfunction were higher in our patients with CKD and DM than in those without DM.
