The Functional State of the Myocardium in Patients with Ischemic Heart Disease, Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 and Cardiac Insufficiency by Horb Yu., Strona V., Komir I.

“…In patients with diabetic cardiomyopathy, all conditions for the development of disturbances of heart rhythm and conduction are created, the number and severity of arrhythmias depend on the severity of type 2 diabetes.The degree of myocardial injury in patients with type 2 diabetes is determined not only by the severity of atherosclerotic changes in the coronary arteries, but also by specific changes characteristic of complications of type 2 diabetes, in particular, by microangiopathy. Gender analysis showed a significant increase in left ventricular and left atrial dimensions, with a more pronounced decrease in myocardial systolic function in men with type 2 diabetes, obesity, and postinfarction cardiosclerosis compared with women regardless of age. …”
