Evaluation of Coronary Sinus Strain in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus
Abstract
Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) remains a major public health problem. The accompanying small and large vessel diseases lead to organ system dysfunction associated with a high morbidity and mortality This study adressed the effect of diabetes on cardiac venous system by assessment of the coronary sinus strain. Methods: 49 patients with and 53 without DM were included in the study, whose heart failure and heart valve pathology were excluded. Coronary sinüs strain (CSS) was evaluated with echocardiography in both groups. In addition, the aortic strain (AS) was assessed in both groups to evaluate the effects of DM on the arterial system. Results: CSS was 113.16±17.89 in the patient group and 165.12±19.30 in the control group. We observed a significant difference between the mean CSS of the patients and the controls (p <0.001). AS was 4.85±1.31 in the patient group and 10.60±2.64 in the control group. AS was statistically different between DM and control groups (p <0.001). Conclusion: In the present study, the effects of DM on arterial system were evaluated by AS and results appear consistent with prior research and publications. The echocardiographic evaluation of the coronary sinus suggest an alteration of the cardiac venous system in DM patients.
