Abstract

Patients with Type 1 diabetes have an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality. Notably, a prolonged heart rate adjusted QT interval (QTc) is a predictor of sudden cardiovascular death. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to investigate whether acute hyperglycaemia affects the QTc duration and the QTc dispersion in patients with Type 1 diabetes and in healthy volunteers. Acute hyperglycaemia (15 mmol/l) for 120 min was induced in 35 males (22 men with Type 1 diabetes and 13 age-matched non-diabetic volunteers). All participants were non-smokers without any diabetic complications. Electrocardiogram recordings were performed at normoglycaemia and at 0, 60 and 120 min of hyperglycaemia. Compared with normoglycaemia, acute hyperglycaemia increased the QTc interval in both patients with Type 1 diabetes (390 +/- 6 vs. 415 +/- 5 ms, P < 0.001) and in healthy volunteers (378 +/- 5 vs. 412 +/- 8 ms, P < 0.01). During hyperglycaemia, the QTc dispersion was prolonged in healthy volunteers (36 +/- 4 ms vs. 54 +/- 7 ms, P < 0.05) but not in patients with Type 1 diabetes (45 +/- 3 ms at baseline vs. 48 +/- 5 ms, NS). Acute hyperglycaemia alters myocardial ventricular repolarization in patients with Type 1 diabetes and in healthy v...Continue Reading

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Cardiac Remodeling

Cardiac remodeling in response to a myocardial infarction is characterized by progressive ventricular dilatation, cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis, and deterioration of cardiac performance. Discover the latest research on Cardiac Remodeling here.

Autoimmune Diabetes & Tolerance

Patients with type I diabetes lack insulin-producing beta cells due to the loss of immunological tolerance and autoimmune disease. Discover the latest research on targeting tolerance to prevent diabetes.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
