To demonstrate the presence of endothelial dysfunction (ED) in asymptomatic patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) by using (13)N-ammonia-positron emission tomography (PET). PET can identify ED by quantifying myocardial blood flow (MBF) during rest, cold pressor test (CPT), and pharmacologic stress. The endothelial-dependent vasodilation index (EDVI), myocardial flow reserve (MFR), and the percentage of the change between rest and CPT (%DeltaMBF) are markers of endothelial function.
Thirty-nine subjects were studied (19 women and 20 men); 22 recently diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients and 17 healthy controls (HC). A three-phase (13)N-ammonia-PET was performed.
Mean EDVI was 1.208 +/- 0.34 vs. 1.55 +/- 0.37 (diabetic vs. HC group, respectively) (p = 0.002), MFR was 2.803 +/- 1.39 vs. 3.27 +/- 0.72 (p = NS), and the %DeltaMBF was 20 +/- 34% vs. 55 +/- 37% (p = 0.002). Rest MBF and CPT MBF were normalized to the rate pressure product (RPP). EDVI' and %DeltaMBF' were calculated using the corrected values for the RPP. Mean EDVI' was (0.864 +/- 0.250 vs. 1.110 +/- 0.238, p = 0.004) and mean %DeltaMBF' was (-8.2 +/- 14.7% vs. 4.5 +/- 12.1%, p = 0.005).
Asymptomatic, recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients present ED that can be quantified by (13)N-ammonia-PET.
通过使用¹³N - 氨正电子发射断层扫描(PET)来证明2型糖尿病(DM)无症状患者存在内皮功能障碍(ED)。PET可通过在静息、冷加压试验(CPT)和药物负荷试验期间量化心肌血流量(MBF)来识别ED。内皮依赖性血管舒张指数(EDVI)、心肌血流储备(MFR)以及静息和CPT之间的变化百分比(%ΔMBF)是内皮功能的标志物。
对39名受试者进行了研究(19名女性和20名男性);22名新诊断的2型糖尿病患者和17名健康对照者(HC)。进行了三相¹³N - 氨PET检查。
平均EDVI为1.208±0.34,而对照组为1.55±0.37(分别为糖尿病组与HC组)(p = 0.002),MFR为2.803±1.39,而对照组为3.27±0.72(p =无统计学意义),%ΔMBF为20±34%,而对照组为55±37%(p = 0.002)。静息MBF和CPT MBF根据心率血压乘积(RPP)进行了标准化。使用RPP的校正值计算EDVI'和%ΔMBF'。平均EDVI'为(0.864±0.250对1.110±0.238,p = 0.004),平均%ΔMBF'为(-8.2±14.7%对4.5±12.1%,p = 0.005)。
