| Research Abstract |
The purpose of the present study was to elucidate the left ventricular (LV) function in patients with hypertension and diabetes mellitus. The population of the study consisted of four groups: control subjects (Control), patients with hypertension alone (HTN), patients with type 2 diabetes alone (DM), and patients with both hypertension and diabetes (HTN+DM) in each of five age strata;the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s. The strain and strain rate decreased with advancing age in healthy control subjects and in all the patient groups. The strain and strain rate in the HTN group and DM group showed lower values than those in the healthy control subjects in each age stratum. Furthermore, the strain and strain rate in the HTN+DM group showed the lowest values among all four groups in each age stratum. Although HT or DM affects normal age-related changes in LV function, the coexistence of HT and DM has a more harmful effect on the normal age-related changes than HT alone or DM alone.
