Abstract

Background

Gated SPECT is an established technique for assessment of left ventricular function in cardiovascular disease patients. However, there is little information about the influence of diabetes mellitus on gated SPECT parameters. This study was established to assess gated SPECT parameters in Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and non-diabetes mellitus (non-DM) patients with normal Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (MPI).

Methods

In this analytical cross-sectional study, 314 patients (157 DM, 157 non-DM) with normal MPI were enrolled. Prevalence of risk factors for CAD like hypertension (HTN), and dyslipidemia were found to be significantly higher () in DM patients compared to non-DM.

Results

No statistically significant difference was observed among the TID, ESV, EDV, PFR, TTPF, and Wall Thickness (WT) parameters between DM and non-DM patients. Wall motion (Wm) in DM patients was significantly higher compared to non-DM patients. (3.9 ± 0.51 . 2.69 ± 0.48 for DM and non-DM patients, respectively, ). Also, there was no significant difference in Wm in the two groups with and without HTN. This shows the independent effect of DM on the Wm.

Conclusion

This study believes that the Wm parameter should be noted for the early diagnosis or prevention of heart disease in DM patients. These findings can indicate the gradual changes in the movements of the left ventricle and the beginning of the progression of diabetic cardiomyopathy.
