  AUTHORS: Andrey Kratnov, Elena Timganova

  KEYWORDS: Early Disturbances of Carbohydrate Metabolism, Diastolic Dysfunction, Heart Remodeling

  JOURNAL NAME: World Journal of Cardiovascular Diseases, Vol.5 No.9, September 14, 2015

  ABSTRACT: Background: Early disturbances of carbohydrate metabolism are an independent risk factor of development of cardiovascular diseases. Objective: The diastolic dysfunction and left ventricle remodeling depending on presence of impaired fasting glucose were examined. Methods: The characteristics of heart remodeling and fasting glucose of capillary blood were studied in 85 men aged 30 to 63 years without coronary heart disease. Results: In male patients with impaired fasting glucose in comparison of persons with level of glucose less than 5.6 mM/l, more pronounced diastolic dysfunction and left ventricle remodeling associated with more often presence III degree of peripheral obesity. Conclusion: Impaired fasting glucose in men increases probability of development of heart remodeling.
