The entity of diabetic cardiomyopathy was
originally described in 1972 on the basis of
observations in four diabetic patients who
presented with HF without evidence of
hypertension, CAD, valvular or congenital
heart disease.

diastolic functiondiastolic function??
The UKPDS evaluated the relationship
between exposure to glycemia over time and
the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy
in patients with type 2 diabetes :
For each 1% reduction in mean HbA1c, there
was a 14% associated decrease in risk for
myocardial infarction and a 16% decrease in
risk for heart failure.
21. Can glucose control improveCan glucose control improve
diastolic functiondiastolic function??
Epidemiological analysis of a prospective,
multicenter, population-based study of
patients with newly diagnosed type 2 DM:
Good glycemic control was associated with a
lower incidence of diabetic cardiomyopathy
(27% vs 9%), whereas postprandial blood
glucose levels were among the independent
predictors for cardiovascular morbidity and
mortality.
