Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this study was to examine mechanisms by which type 2 diabetes (T2DM) augments ventricular diastolic stiffness in response to pressure overloading. We found that AMP deaminse activity was increased in T2DM hearts, resulting in excessive degradation of adenine nucleotides and ATP depletion during pressure overloading. ATP level was negatively correlated with tau of LV pressure and LVEDP. These diastolic properties were observed before development of extracellular matrix or titin remodeling.
