We sought to investigate whether maternal arterial stiffness is altered in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and type 2 diabetes compared to normoglycemic women.
We conducted a cross-sectional study involving 34 women with GDM and their controls (n = 34), and 34 women with type 2 diabetes and their controls (n = 34). Maternal arterial stiffness was assessed using applanation tonometry.
In patients with GDM, compared to their controls, augmentation index (a measure of arterial wave reflection) was higher (13.1 +/- 8.9% vs 0.7 +/- 11.4%; P < .001) and pulse wave velocity (PWV) (arterial stiffness of the carotid-femoral) was marginally increased (6 +/- 1.5 vs 5.4 +/- 0.6 m/s; P = .07). In type 2 diabetics, compared to their controls, both augmentation index and PWV were increased (11.5 +/- 11.4% vs 3.3 +/- 12.5%; P = .006, and 6.8 +/- 1.2 vs 5.6 +/- 1 m/s; P < .001). When all groups were considered together, there was a significant trend of increasing augmentation index (P = .001) and PWV (P < .001) from controls to those with GDM to type 2 diabetes.
Pregnancies complicated by GDM and type 2 diabetes are associated with increased maternal arterial stiffness.
我们旨在研究与正常血糖孕妇相比,妊娠期糖尿病(GDM)和 2 型糖尿病孕妇的母体动脉僵硬度是否发生改变。
我们进行了一项横断面研究,纳入了 34 例 GDM 孕妇及其对照组(n = 34),以及 34 例 2 型糖尿病孕妇及其对照组(n = 34)。采用平板压力测量法评估母体动脉僵硬度。
与对照组相比,GDM 患者的增强指数(反映动脉波反射的指标)更高(13.1 +/- 8.9% vs 0.7 +/- 11.4%;P <.001),脉搏波速度(PWV)(颈-股动脉的动脉僵硬度)也略有增加(6 +/- 1.5 vs 5.4 +/- 0.6 m/s;P =.07)。与对照组相比,2 型糖尿病患者的增强指数和 PWV 均增加(11.5 +/- 11.4% vs 3.3 +/- 12.5%;P =.006,6.8 +/- 1.2 vs 5.6 +/- 1 m/s;P <.001)。当所有组一起考虑时,增强指数(P =.001)和 PWV(P <.001)从对照组到 GDM 再到 2 型糖尿病呈显著递增趋势。
妊娠合并 GDM 和 2 型糖尿病与母体动脉僵硬度增加有关。
