Abstract
The association between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and heart failure (HF) is well established. Early in the course of the diabetic disease, some degree of impaired exercise capacity (a powerful marker of health status with prognostic value) can be frequently highlighted in otherwise asymptomatic T2DM subjects. However, the literature is quite heterogeneous, and the underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms are far from clear. Imaging-cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is a non-invasive, provocative test providing a multi-variable assessment of pulmonary, cardiovascular, muscular, and cellular oxidative systems during exercise, capable of offering unique integrated pathophysiological information. With this review we aimed at defying the cardiorespiratory alterations revealed through imaging-CPET that appear specific of T2DM subjects without overt cardiovascular or pulmonary disease. In synthesis, there is compelling evidence indicating a reduction of peak workload, peak oxygen assumption, oxygen pulse, as well as ventilatory efficiency. On the contrary, evidence remains inconclusive about reduced peripheral oxygen extraction, impaired heart rate adjustment, and lower anaerobic threshold, compared to non-diabetic subjects. Based on the multiparametric evaluation provided by imaging-CPET, a dissection and a hierarchy of the underlying mechanisms can be obtained. Here we propose four possible integrated pathophysiological mechanisms, namely myocardiogenic, myogenic, vasculogenic and neurogenic. While each hypothesis alone can potentially explain the majority of the CPET alterations observed, seemingly different combinations exist in any given subject. Finally, a discussion on the effects -and on the physiological mechanisms-of physical activity and exercise training on oxygen uptake in T2DM subjects is also offered. The understanding of the early alterations in the cardiopulmonary response that are specific of T2DM would allow the early identification of those at a higher risk of developing HF and possibly help to understand the pathophysiological link between T2DM and HF.

Abstract
PURPOSE It is clinically important to elucidate the precise mechanism of exercise intolerance in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). The aim of this study was to examine whether there is a difference in the time course change of the oxygenation in the vastus lateralis (VL) muscle during submaximal incremental cycling exercise between patients with T2DM and age-matched healthy subjects. METHODS Nine elderly men with T2DM and 10 age-matched healthy men (CON) participated in this study. All participants performed an incremental cycling exercise.Total, deoxygenated and oxygenated hemoglobin/myoglobin in the VL muscle were assessed using near-infrared spectroscopy, and cardiorespiratory response was also evaluated during the exercise. RESULTS There were no significant differences in the time course changes of deoxygenated hemoglobin/myoglobin between groups ( p > 0.05). However, the oxygenated hemoglobin/myoglobin in T2DM was significantly higher than that in CON at an intensity above ventilatory threshold during the incremental cycling exercise ( p< 0.05). CONCLUSION This study suggests that patients with T2DM had early limitation of oxygen extraction and lower capacity of oxygenated myoglobin dissociation in the VL muscle. The fact that patients with T2DM showed different oxygen kinetics in a peripheral tissue from healthy subjects may partly explain the potential mechanisms of exercise intolerance in T2DM.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to clarify the influence of complications of diabetes on the exercise tolerance of patients with heart failure. METHODS The subjects of this study were 69 patients (44 men; mean age: 62.2 ± 13.4 years) who were hospitalized and diagnosed with heart failure between November 2016 and November 2017. The subjects all took part in a cardiopulmonary exercise test. The patients' medical background, indexes obtained from lower-limb muscle strength and the cardiopulmonary exercise test, heart rate response indexes [Δ heart rate (ΔHR)], and autonomic nervous activities were measured, and these individual indexes were compared between the diabetic group and the non-diabetic group. RESULTS Compared with the non-diabetic group, the peak oxygen uptake (peak V̇O2) and ΔHR in the diabetic group were significantly lower (13.0 ± 2.2 vs. 14.9 ± 4.4 ml/kg/min and 27.2 ± 11.7 vs. 36.7 ± 14.7 bpm, respectively) (p<0.05). Regarding the autonomic nervous activity during the cardiopulmonary exercise test in the diabetic group, there was a significant decrease of parasympathetic nerve activity and a significant lack of increase in sympathetic nerve activity (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Patients with heart failure and diabetes had lower levels of exercise tolerance, as compared with patients without complications. It was suggested that the decrease in heart rate response was due to the decrease of autonomic nervous activity and that this may play a role in reduced exercise tolerance.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is the most common medical condition and with increased awareness of heath and related issues, several patients are getting diagnosed with diabetes. The poor control of sugar and long-standing status of disease affects the autonomic system of body. The autonomic nervous system innervates cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary system, thus affecting important functions of the body. The cardiovascular system involvement can manifest as mild arrhythmias to sudden death. Our search for this review included PubMed, Google Search and End Note X6 version and the key words used for the search were autonomic neuropathy, diabetes, anesthesia, tests and implications. This review aims to highlight the dysfunction of autonomic system due to diabetes and its clinical presentations. The various modalities to diagnose the involvement of different systems are mentioned. An estimated 25% of diabetic patients will require surgery. It has been already established that mortality rates in diabetic patients are higher than in nondiabetic patients. Hence, complete workup is needed prior to any surgery. Diabetic autonomic neuropathy and its implications may sometimes be disastrous and further increase the incidence of in hospital morbidity and mortality. Overall, complete knowledge of diabetes and its varied effects with anaesthetic implications and careful perioperative management is the key guiding factor for a successful outcome.

Abstract
This study compared the cardiac sympatho-inhibitory responses produced by agonists at α2 -adrenergic (B-HT 933), dopamine D2 -like (quinpirole) and histamine H3 /H4 (immepip) receptors between normoglycaemic and streptozotocin-pretreated (diabetic) pithed rats. Intravenous (i.v.) continuous infusions of B-HT 933, quinpirole or immepip were used in normoglycaemic and diabetic pithed rats to analyse their sympatho-inhibitory effects on the electrically-stimulated cardioaccelerator sympathetic outflow. Both in normoglycaemic and diabetic animals, B-HT 933 (until 100 μg/kg per minute) and quinpirole (until 10 μg/kg per minute) inhibited the tachycardic responses to electrical sympathetic stimulation, but not those to i.v. bolus of exogenous noradrenaline. These sympatho-inhibitory responses were more pronounced in diabetic than in normoglycaemic animals. Accordingly, the areas under the curve for 100 μg/kg per minute B-HT 933 and 10 μg/kg per minute quinpirole in diabetic rats (1065 ± 70 and 920 ± 35, respectively) were significantly smaller (P < .05) than those in normoglycaemic rats (1220 ± 45 and 1360 ± 42, respectively). In contrast, immepip infusions produced cardiac sympatho-inhibition in normoglycaemic (until 10 μg/kg per minute), but not in diabetic (until 100 μg/kg per minute) animals. Our results suggest that in diabetic pithed rats: (i) the more pronounced cardiac sympatho-inhibition to B-HT 933 and quinpirole may be probably due to up-regulation of α2 -adrenergic and dopamine D2 -like receptors, respectively; (ii) the histamine H3 /H4 receptors do not seem to play a sympatho-inhibitory role; and (iii) there is a differential participation of α2 -adrenergic and dopamine D2 -like receptors, which may certainly represent therapeutic targets for the treatment of diabetic complications such as cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy.

Abstract
Aims Patients with heart failure (HF) risk factors are described as being in Stage A of this condition (SAHF). Management is directed towards prevention of HF progression, but to date, no evidence has been described to align the intensity of this intervention to HF risk. We sought to what extent SAHF of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and other HF risks showed differences in subclinical left ventricular function, exercise capacity, and prognosis. Methods and results We recruited 551 elder asymptomatic SAHF patients (age 71 ± 5 years, 49% men, 290 T2DM) with at least one risk factor from a community‐based population with preserved ejection fraction. All underwent a comprehensive echocardiogram including global longitudinal strain (GLS) and a 6 min walk test and were followed for 2 years. The primary endpoints were new‐onset HF and all‐cause mortality. The T2DM group was associated with reduced 6 min walk test distance (451 ± 111 vs. 493 ± 87 m, P < 0.001), worse diastolic function (E/e′ 9.2 ± 2.7 vs. 8.7 ± 2.4, P = 0.028), and impaired GLS (−17.7 ± 2.6% vs. −19.0 ± 2.6%, P < 0.001). Over a median follow‐up of 1.6 years, 49 T2DM‐SAHF and 27 other‐SAHF met the primary endpoint. T2DM‐SAHF had significantly worse outcome than other‐SAHF (P = 0.021). In Cox models, obesity [hazard ratio (HR) = 2.46; P = 0.007], atrial fibrillation (HR = 2.39; P = 0.028), 6 min walk distance (HR = 0.99; P = 0.034), and GLS (HR = 1.14; P = 0.033) were independently associated with the primary endpoint in T2DM‐SAHF, independent of age and glycaemic control. Conclusions The T2DM‐SAHF has worse subclinical left ventricular function, exercise capacity, and prognosis than other‐SAHF. Impaired GLS, atrial fibrillation, exercise capacity, and obesity are associated with a worse prognosis in T2DM‐SAHF but not in other‐SAHF.

Abstract
People with type 1 diabetes (T1D) have lower exercise capacity (V̇O2max) than their age‐matched nondiabetic counterparts (CON), which might be related to cardiac autonomic dysfunction. We examined whether Heart Rate Variability (HRV; indicator of cardiac autonomic modulation) was associated with exercise capacity in those with and without T1D. Twenty‐three participants with uncomplicated T1D and 17 matched CON were recruited. Heart rate (HR; ECG), blood pressure (BP; finger photo‐plethysmography), and respiratory rate (respiratory belt) were measured during baseline, paced‐breathing and clinical autonomic reflex tests (CARTs); deep breathing, lying‐to‐stand, and Valsalva maneuver. Baseline and paced‐breathing ECG were analyzed for HRV (frequency‐domain). Exercise capacity was determined during an incremental cycle ergometer test while V̇O2, 12‐lead ECG, and BP were measured. In uncomplicated T1D, resting HR was elevated and resting HRV metrics were reduced, indicative of altered cardiac parasympathetic modulation; this was generally undetected by the CARTs. However, BP and plasma catecholamines were not different between groups. In T1D, V̇O2max tended to be lower (P = 0.07) and HR reserve was lower (P < 0.01). Resting Total Power (TP) had stronger positive associations with V̇O2max (R2 ≥ 0.3) than all other traditional indicators such as age, resting HR, and self‐reported exercise (R2 = 0.042–0.3) in both T1D and CON. Alterations in cardiac autonomic modulation are an early manifestation of uncomplicated T1D. Total Power was associated with reduced exercise capacity regardless of group, and these associations were generally stronger than traditional indicators.

Abstract
Resistance exercise (> 12 weeks) appears to increase in VO2max in diabetic patients. Resistance exercise didn’t decrease the glycemic level compared to aerobic exercises. The lipid profile of DM patients was the same in both types of exercise.
Background Physical exercise has been used to mitigate the metabolic effects of diabetes mellitus. Objective To evaluate the effect of resistance exercise when compared to aerobic exercise without insulin therapy on metabolic and clinical outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods Papers were searched on the databases MEDLINE/PubMed, CINAHL, SPORTDiscus, LILACS, and SCIELO, without language or date of publication limits. Clinical trials that compared resistance exercise to aerobic exercise in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus who did not use insulin therapy were included. The quality of evidence and risk of bias were assessed using the GRADE system and the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool, respectively. Meta-analysis was also used, whenever possible. Two reviewers extracted the data independently. Eight eligible articles were included in this study, with a total of 336 individuals, with a mean age of 48–58 years. The protocols of aerobic and resistance exercise varied in duration from eight to 22 weeks, 30–60 min/day, three to five times/week. Results Overall the available evidence came from a very low quality of evidence and there was an increase in Maximal oxygen consumption (mean difference: −2.86; 95% CI: −3.90 to −1.81; random effect) for the resistance exercise and no difference was found in Glycated hemoglobin, Body mass index, High-density lipoprotein cholesterol, Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, and total cholesterol. Conclusions Resistance exercise appears to be more effective in promoting an increase in Maximal oxygen consumption in protocols longer than 12 weeks and there is no difference in the control of glycemic and lipid levels between the two types of exercise.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the impact of well‐controlled uncomplicated type 2 diabetes (T2D) on exercise performance. Ten obese sedentary men with T2D and nine control participants without diabetes matched for age, sex, and body mass index were recruited. Anthropometric characteristics, blood samples, resting cardiac, and pulmonary functions and maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and ventilatory threshold were measured on a first visit. On the four subsequent visits, participants (diabetics: n = 6; controls: n = 7) performed step transitions (6 min) of moderate‐intensity exercise on an upright cycle ergometer from unloaded pedaling to 80% of ventilatory threshold. VO2 (τVO2) and HR (τHR) kinetics were characterized with a mono‐exponential model. VO2max (27.0 ± 3.4 vs. 26.7 ± 5.0 mL kg−1 min−1; P = 0.85), τVO2 (43 ± 6 vs. 43 ± 10 sec; P = 0.73), and τHR (42 ± 17 vs. 43 ± 13 sec; P = 0.94) were similar between diabetics and controls respectively. The remaining variables were also similar between groups, with the exception of lower maximal systolic blood pressure in diabetics (P = 0.047). These results suggest that well‐controlled T2D is not associated with a reduction in VO2max or slower τVO2 and τHR.

Abstract
Physical inactivity and a low maximal aerobic capacity (VO2max) strongly predict morbidity and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Patients with T2D have a reduced VO2max when compared with healthy individuals of similar age, weight, and physical activity levels, and this lower aerobic capacity is usually attributed to a reduced oxygen delivery to the working muscles. The oxygen carrying capacity of the blood, as well as increases in cardiac output and blood flow, contribute to the delivery of oxygen to the active muscles during exercise. Hemoglobin mass (Hb mass), a key determinant of oxygen carrying capacity, is suggested to be reduced in patients with T2D following the observation of a lower blood volume (BV) in combination with normal hematocrit levels in this population. Therefore, a lower Hb mass, in addition to a reported lower BV and impaired cardiovascular response to exercise, likely contributes to the reduced oxygen delivery and VO2max in patients with T2D. While exercise training increases Hb mass, BV, and consequently VO2max, the majority of patients with T2D are not physically active, highlighting the need for alternative methods to improve VO2max in this population. Exposure to hypoxia triggers the release of erythropoietin, the hormone regulating red blood cell production, which increases Hb mass and consequently BV. Exposure to mild intermittent hypoxia (IH), characterized by few and short episodes of hypoxia at a fraction of inspired oxygen ranging between 10 and 14% interspersed with cycles of normoxia, increased red blood cell volume, Hb mass, and plasma volume in patients with coronary artery disease or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which resulted in an improved VO2max in both populations. We hypothesize that 12 exposures to mild IH over a period of 4weeks will increase Hb mass, BV, cardiac function, and VO2max in patients with T2D. Therefore, exposures to mild IH may increase oxygen delivery and VO2max without the need to perform exercise in patients with T2D.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is partially understood and is likely to be multifactorial, involving metabolic disturbances, hypertension and cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN). Therefore, an important need remains to further delineate the basic mechanisms of diabetic cardiomyopathy and to apply them to daily clinical practice. We attempt to detail some of these underlying mechanisms, focusing in the clinical features and management. The novelty of this review is the role of CAN and reduction of blood pressure descent during sleep in the development of DCM. Evidence has suggested that CAN might precede left ventricular hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction in normotensive patients with type 2 diabetes, serving as an early marker for the evaluation of preclinical cardiac abnormalities. Additionally, a prospective study demonstrated that an elevation of nocturnal systolic blood pressure and a loss of nocturnal blood pressure fall might precede the onset of abnormal albuminuria and cardiovascular events in hypertensive normoalbuminuric patients with type 2 diabetes. Therefore, existing microalbuminuria could imply the presence of myocardium abnormalities. Considering that DCM could be asymptomatic for a long period and progress to irreversible cardiac damage, early recognition and treatment of the preclinical cardiac abnormalities are essential to avoid severe cardiovascular outcomes. In this sense, we recommend that all type 2 diabetic patients, especially those with microalbuminuria, should be regularly submitted to CAN tests, Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring and echocardiography, and treated for any abnormalities in these tests in the attempt of reducing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is not just a simple metabolic disorder, however, it is considered to be a cardiovascular disease of a metabolic origin. This is apparent especially when speaking about type 2 diabetes (DM II). The objective of our study was to determine whether a comprehensive spa treatment (procedures and drinking cure) may affect the level of the sympathetic tone of patients suffering from DM II. As an indicator of the sympathetic tone, selected electrocardiographic parameters derived from the heart rate variability and microwave alternans were chosen. There were 96 patients enrolled in our study: 38 patients with poorly controlled DM II and two control groups: 9 patients with compensated DM II and 49 patients, average age without diabetes or other disorders of the glucose metabolism. All received an identical spa treatment and continued their medical therapy. The electrophysiological examination of patients was performed before and after a three-week spa treatment using the KARDiVAR system. Parameters derived from the analysis of heart rate variability (HRV), microvolt T-wave alternans, and microvolt R-wave alternans were analyzed in order to evaluate the tones of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). The control group showed a slight increase of parameter the index of activity of regulatory systems (IRSA) (4.4+/-1.3 vs. 3.8+/-1.4; p=0.006) after the spa treatment, while increased heart rate (80.9+/-11.0 vs. 74.6+/-9.6; p=0.028), reduced index of centralization (IC) (1.3+/-0.6 vs. 2.9+/-1.4; p=0.027) and reduced index of myocardium (IM) (9.9+/-7.4 vs. 18.0+/-6.3; p=0.041) were found in patients with a compensated DM II. Patients with a poorly compensated DM II showed a decreased IM (10.9+/-8.6 vs. 16.9+/-5.2; p=0.001) and also a reduced IRSA (4.1+/-3.5 vs. 6.3+/-1.9; p=0.001). The results proved favorable changes in ANS cardiovascular control of patients with DM II after a spa treatment, especially in terms of reducing the sympathoadrenal system activity (decreased IRSA), improving electrical stability of the myocardium and increasing centrally controlled heart rate variability without overloading the cardiovascular system (drop of IM).

Abstract
Controlled studies of male and female subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) of short duration (~3-5 years) show that DM reduces peak VO2 (L·min(-1) and mL·kg(-1)·min(-1)) by an average of 12-15% and induces a greater slowing of the dynamic response of pulmonary VO2 during submaximal exercise. These effects occur in individuals less than 60 years of age but are reduced or absent in older males and are consistently associated with significant increases in the exercise pressor response despite normal resting blood pressure. This exaggerated pressor response, evidence of exertional hypertension in DM, is manifest during moderate submaximal exercise and coincides with a more constrained vasodilation in contracting muscles. Maximum vasodilation during contractions involving single muscle groups is reduced by DM, and the dynamic response of vasodilation during submaximal contractions is slowed. Such vascular constraint most likely contributes to exertional hypertension, impairs dynamic and peak VO2 responses, and reduces exercise tolerance. There is a need to establish the effect of DM on dynamic aspects of vascular control in skeletal muscle during whole-body exercise and to clarify contributions of altered cardiovascular control and increased arterial stiffness to exertional hypertension.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) causes substantial morbidity and increased mortality in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Besides heart rate variability (HRV), heart rate turbulence (HRT) is an important method of assessment of cardiac autonomic regulation. The aim of the study was to assess the correlation between HRT and diabetic control. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifty-nine patients met the inclusion criteria - 38 males and 21 females, age 64.4 ±7.6. The patients included had inadequately controlled DM type 2 defined as glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) > 9% (mean 11.8 ±2.7%). In all patients, intensive insulin treatment had been applied for 6 months. After 6 months, HbA1c was measured. ECG Holter monitoring was performed before and after insulin treatment to evaluate the time domain HRV and HRT parameters (turbulence onset (TO) and turbulence slope (TS)). RESULTS After 6 months of intensive insulin treatment, HbA1c concentrations ranged from 6.3% (45 mmol/mol) to 11.2% (99 mmol/mol) - mean 8.5 ±3.8% (69 ±18 mmol/mol). Significant improvement of TO, TS and SDNN was observed. The TO and TS significantly correlated with HbA1c (r = 0.35, p = 0.006 and r = -0.31, p = 0.02 respectively). Among analyzed HRV time domain parameters such as SDNN, rMSSD and pNN50, only SDNN correlated with HbA1c (r = -0.41, p = 0.001). It was further concluded that intensive insulin therapy led to better glycemic control, resulting in improvement of HRT. CONCLUSIONS Heart rate turbulence may be useful in monitoring changes of the autonomic nervous system functions in patients with DM, similarly to HRV parameters.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (DCAN), the impairment of the autonomic balance of the cardiovascular system in the setting of diabetes mellitus (DM), is frequently observed in both Type 1 and 2 DM, has detrimental effects on the quality of life and portends increased mortality. Clinical manifestations include: resting heart rate disorders, exercise intolerance, intraoperative cardiovascular lability, orthostatic alterations in heart rate and blood pressure, QT-interval prolongation, abnormal diurnal and nocturnal blood pressure variation, silent myocardial ischemia and diabetic cardiomyopathy. Clinical tests for autonomic nervous system evaluation, heart rate variability analysis, autonomic innervation imaging techniques, microneurography and baroreflex analysis are the main diagnostic tools for DCAN detection. Aldose reductase inhibitors and antioxidants may be helpful in DCAN therapy, but a regular, more generalized and multifactorial approach should be adopted with inclusion of lifestyle modifications, strict glycemic control and treatment of concomitant traditional cardiovascular risk factors, in order to achieve the best therapeutic results. In the present review, the authors provide aspects of DCAN pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis and an algorithm regarding the evaluation and management of DCAN in DM patients.

Abstract
Autonomic neuropathy, once considered to be the Cinderella of diabetes complications, has come of age. The autonomic nervous system innervates the entire human body, and is involved in the regulation of every single organ in the body. Thus, perturbations in autonomic function account for everything from abnormalities in pupillary function to gastroparesis, intestinal dysmotility, diabetic diarrhea, genitourinary dysfunction, amongst others. "Know autonomic function and one knows the whole of medicine!" It is now becoming apparent that before the advent of severe pathological damage to the autonomic nervous system there may be an imbalance between the two major arms, namely the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve fibers that innervate the heart and blood vessels, resulting in abnormalities in heart rate control and vascular dynamics. Cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) has been linked to resting tachycardia, postural hypotension, orthostatic bradycardia and orthostatic tachycardia (POTTS), exercise intolerance, decreased hypoxia-induced respiratory drive, loss of baroreceptor sensitivity, enhanced intraoperative or perioperative cardiovascular lability, increased incidence of asymptomatic ischemia, myocardial infarction, and decreased rate of survival after myocardial infarction and congestive heart failure. Autonomic dysfunction can affect daily activities of individuals with diabetes and may invoke potentially life-threatening outcomes. Intensification of glycemic control in the presence of autonomic dysfunction (more so if combined with peripheral neuropathy) increases the likelihood of sudden death and is a caveat for aggressive glycemic control. Advances in technology, built on decades of research and clinical testing, now make it possible to objectively identify early stages of CAN with the use of careful measurement of time and frequency domain analyses of autonomic function. Fifteen studies using different end points report prevalence rates of 1% to 90%. CAN may be present at diagnosis, and prevalence increases with age, duration of diabetes, obesity, smoking, and poor glycemic control. CAN also cosegregates with distal symmetric polyneuropathy, microangiopathy, and macroangiopathy. It now appears that autonomic imbalance may precede the development of the inflammatory cascade in type 2 diabetes and there is a role for central loss of dopaminergic restraint on sympathetic overactivity. Restoration of dopaminergic tone suppresses the sympathetic dominance and reduces cardiovascular events and mortality by close to 50%. Cinderella's slipper can now be worn!

Abstract
Background There are few tools to detect the diabetic autonomic neuropathy at an earlier stage. This study was conducted to investigate the association between symptoms of autonomic neuropathy and the heart rate variability (HRV) in diabetics. Methods Study subjects consisted of 50 diabetic patients and 30 outpatient hospital control patients at a university family medicine department. The patients completed a Korean version of composite autonomic symptom scale (COMPASS). Electrocardiography was recorded in the supine position, on standing, and during deep breathing, for 5 minutes each. HRV of frequency domain was calculated by power spectral analysis. Results The COMPASS score was higher in female diabetic patients compared with that in controls. Among 50 diabetic patients, the total COMPASS score correlated positively with normalized low frequency (LF) score (normalized units, n.u.) (r = 0.62, P < 0 .001) and low frequency/high frequency (LF/HF) (r = 0.77, P < 0.001), negatively with normalized HF score (n.u.) (r = -0.59, P < 0.001) and RMSSD (square root of the mean of the sum of the square of differences between adjacent NN interval; r = -0.33, P = 0.031). The decrease in LF (n.u) and the increase in HF (n.u) by deep breathing from the supine position were higher in diabetic patients compared with those in controls. The increase in LF (n.u) and the decrease in HF (n.u) by standing from the supine position were lower in diabetic patients compared with those in controls. Conclusion The COMPASS score correlated with some component score of the HRV in diabetics. The HRV may be used as a tool to detect diabetic autonomic neuropathy by augmentation with position change.

Abstract
Background The various autonomic control systems lead to characteristic changes in heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) during acute hemorrhage. However, cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy due to diabetes mellitus may interfere with the normal compensation for hemorrhage. Materials and methods A controlled graded bleeding (6 - 36% loss of estimated total blood volume: ETBV) was performed in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats (STZ rats) under a conscious state. Hemodynamic and autonomic responses to acute hemorrhage were examined using analysis of BP-HR variability. The effects of dextran treatment after hemorrhage were also examined. Results A significant reduction in mean arterial pressure began at 12% ETBV loss in STZ rats and 18% in the control rats, respectively. When blood loss reached 18% of TEBV, the decrease in HR was prominent in STD rats due to the activation of a parasympathetic drive, as indicated by the increase in high frequency (HF; 0.75~3.0 Hz) power in HR variability, while in the control rats this response was not observed. The administration of dextran prevented the activation of the parasympathetic drive in STZ rats during hemorrhaging. In the control rats, the dextran treatment sustained the initial increase in HR with reduced HF power in HR variability. Conclusion STZ rats showed different hemodynamic and autonomic responses to acute hemorrhage from the control rats. STZ rats were prone to develop bradycardiac hypotension characterized by marked parasympathetic activation during hemorrhaging. This finding suggests enhancement of the Bezold-Jarisch reflex in STZ rats. Dextran treatment to maintain a normovolemic hemorrhage state inhibits this reflex.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM), although a distinct clinical entity, is also a part of the diabetic atherosclerosis process. It may be independent of the coexistence of ischemic heart disease, hypertension, or other macrovascular complications. Its pathological substrate is characterized by the presence of myocardial damage, reactive hypertrophy, and intermediary fibrosis, structural and functional changes of the small coronary vessels, disturbance of the management of the metabolic cardiovascular load, and cardiac autonomic neuropathy. These alterations make the diabetic heart susceptible to ischemia and less able to recover from an ischemic attack. Arterial hypertension frequently coexists with and exacerbates cardiac functioning, leading to the premature appearance of heart failure. Classical and newer echocardiographic methods are available for early diagnosis. Currently, there is no specific treatment for DCM; targeting its pathophysiological substrate by effective risk management protects the myocardium from further damage and has a recognized primary role in its prevention. Its pathophysiological substrate is also the objective for the new therapies and alternative remedies.

Abstract
AIM Although impaired left ventricular (LV) diastolic function is commonly observed in patients with type 2 diabetes, it remains unclear whether the impairment is caused by altered LV relaxation or changes in LV preload. The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of LV function and LV loading conditions on stroke volume in men with type 2 diabetes. METHODS Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging scans were performed in eight men with type 2 diabetes and 11 non-diabetic men matched for age, weight and physical activity level. Total blood volume was determined with the Evans blue dye dilution technique. RESULTS End-diastolic volume (EDV), the ratio of peak early to late mitral inflow velocity (E/A) and stroke volume were lower in men with type 2 diabetes than in non-diabetic individuals. Peak filling rate and peak ejection rate were not different between diabetic and non-diabetic individuals; however, men with type 2 diabetes had proportionally longer systolic duration than non-diabetic individuals. Heart rate was higher and total blood volume was lower in men with type 2 diabetes. The lower total blood volume was correlated with a lower EDV in men with type 2 diabetes. CONCLUSIONS Men with type 2 diabetes have an altered cardiac cycle and lower end-diastolic and stroke volume. A lower total blood volume and higher heart rate in men with type 2 diabetes suggest that changes in LV preload, independent of changes in LV relaxation or contractility, influence LV diastolic filling and stroke volume in this population.

Abstract
PURPOSE Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been associated with reduced peak exercise capacity (VO(2peak)). The causes of this impairment are not clearly established, but evidence suggests that abnormalities in cardiac function play a significant role. We hypothesized that exercise would be associated with impaired cardiac function and hemodynamics in recently diagnosed T2DM, even in the absence of clinically evident cardiovascular complications. METHODS After baseline normal echocardiography screening, 10 premenopausal women with uncomplicated T2DM (average duration of diagnosed T2DM, 3.6 yr) and 10 healthy nondiabetic women of similar age, weight, and activity levels performed a peak cardiopulmonary exercise test while instrumented with an indwelling pulmonary artery catheter for assessing cardiac function. On separate days, technetium-99m sestamibi (cardolite) imaging was performed to assess myocardial perfusion at rest and peak exercise in seven T2DM and seven control patients. RESULTS Resting measures of cardiac hemodynamics were similar in T2DM and control subjects. Absolute VO(2peak) (mL x min(-1)) and peak cardiac output (L x min(-1)) tended to be lower in T2DM than in control subjects but did not reach statistical significance. However, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) rose significantly more during exercise in T2DM than in controls (148% vs 109% increase at peak exercise, P < 0.01). Normalized myocardial perfusion index was lower in persons with diabetes than in controls (11.0 +/- 3.5 x e(-9) vs 17.5 +/- 8.1 x e(-9), respectively, P < 0.05) and inversely related to peak exercise PCWP (R = -0.56, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Cardiac hemodynamics during graded exercise are altered in women with recently diagnosed T2DM as demonstrated by the disproportionate increase in PCWP at peak exercise compared with controls subjects. Cardiac abnormalities observed are potentially early signs of subclinical cardiac dysfunction associated with T2DM, which may precede the more greatly impaired cardiac function at rest and with exercise observed in longer established T2DM.

Abstract
UNLABELLED It is unclear whether impaired cardiac and/or vascular function contribute to exercise intolerance in patients with type 2 diabetes. PURPOSE Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to determine whether reductions in cardiac output and/or femoral arterial blood flow contribute to reduced aerobic capacity in patients with type 2 diabetes. METHODS Cardiac and femoral arterial blood flow MRI scans were performed at rest and during low-intensity leg exercise in eight patients with type 2 diabetes and 11 healthy individuals. Maximal aerobic capacity VO(2 max) and maximal oxygen pulse were also determined in all participants. RESULTS V O(2 max) was 20% lower and maximal oxygen pulse was 16% lower in patients with type 2 diabetes (P < 0.05), whereas maximal heart rate was the same between groups. Low-intensity exercise induced a 20% increase in heart rate and cardiac output as well as a 60-70% increase in femoral blood flow in both groups (P < 0.05). Femoral arterial blood flow indexed to thigh lean mass was reduced during exercise in patients with type 2 diabetes compared with healthy individuals. Stroke volume indexed to fat-free mass was lower in patients with type 2 diabetes, but greater heart rate allowed cardiac output to be maintained during submaximal exercise. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that impaired femoral arterial blood flow, an indirect marker of muscle perfusion, affects low-intensity exercise performance in patients with type 2 diabetes. However, because of lower exercising stroke volume, we propose that femoral arterial blood flow and, possibly, cardiac output, limit V O(2 max) in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
O acometimento patológico do sistema nervoso no diabetes melito é muito amplo e, freqüentemente, bastante grave. A prevalência de neuropatia diabética atinge níveis elevados com a evolução temporal do diabetes, chegando, geralmente, a freqüências acima de 50% de lesão neurológica em diferentes grupos de pacientes analisados em nosso meio e no exterior. A lesão neurológica nesta situação patológica é extensa no organismo humano diabético, envolvendo amplamente todo o sistema nervoso periférico nos seus componentes sensitivo-motor e autonômico: com clínica característica e concordante com as hipóteses patogênicas de natureza metabólica e/ou microvascular. O sistema nervoso autonômico é o elemento fundamental na regulação da função da maior parte dos sistemas ou órgãos no organismo, portanto, a sua lesão pode trazer importantes alterações para as funções cardiovascular, respiratória, digestiva, urinária e genital, podendo influir na função vital de alguns desses órgãos ou sistemas. Este artigo aborda as alterações decorrentes da lesão do sistema nervoso autonômico, especialmente nos pacientes diabéticos tipo 1, procurando dimensionar o risco de morbimortalidade.

Abstract
Several chronic diseases are known to negatively affect the ability of an individual to perform exercise. However, the altered exercise capacity observed in these patients is not solely associated with the heart and lungs dysfunction. Exercise has also been shown to play an important role in the management of several pathologies encountered in the fields of cardiology and pneumology. Studies conducted in our institution regarding the influence of diabetes, chronic heart failure, congenital heart disease and chronic pulmonary obstructive disease on the acute and chronic exercise responses, along with the beneficial effects of exercise training in these populations, are reviewed.

Abstract
Diabetes and old age come together to increase the frequency and severity of coronary heart disease. Often clinically nearly silent, symptoms frequently manifest dramatically, to such an extent that the question of screening should be raised, as in younger subjects. Preventing these manifestations relies on better management of the cardiovascular risk factors and obtaining good blood glucose control, but here progress remains necessary, which also requires adapting to the older patient's clinical and psychological condition. Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy is a frequent degenerative complication in diabetics, particularly in the oldest subjects. The most severe types have serious clinical consequences, thus a higher mortality factor, but the mechanisms remain poorly understood. As for coronary heart disease, the therapeutic tools have expanded these last few years and should be thought out in relation to the geriatric evaluation, with the objective of improving these patients' quality of life. Therefore, a necessary distinction should be made between subjects who have aged successfully, whose management, ultimately, differs little from younger subjects, and frail elderly individuals for whom exploratory techniques and treatment should be adapted.

Abstract
Cardiovascular Autonomic Neuropathy (CAN) is one of the least understood of all serious complications of diabetes. Besides increasing mortality, CAN may have various clinical sequelae including exercise intolerance, arrhythmias and painless myocardial infarction. But does it also cause left ventricular dysfunction? Patients with diabetes have a greater risk of developing congestive heart failure. Coronary artery disease and hypertension have been notorious in causing left ventricular dysfunction in many of these patients. However, even in their absence, diabetes itself, through several studies, has been proposed to cause the controversial entity, Diabetic Cardiomyopathy (DCM). Various mechanisms have been suggested. CAN through alteration in myocardial blood flow and sympathetic denervation, and through changes in myocardial neurotransmitters, including catecholamines and neurotransmitters of the neuropeptidergic system, has been and is still being studied as one of the main mechanisms to cause left ventricular dysfunction. Earlier detection of CAN and instant initiation of upcoming treatments may be a way to help prevent DCM, and thus improve the morbidity and mortality this causes to patients with diabetes.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM)is a multi-factorial disease which is characterized by hyperglycaemia, lipoprotein abnormalities and oxidative stress. This study evaluated effect of oral vitamin C administration on basal metabolic rate and lipid profile of alloxan-induced diabetic rats. Vitamin C was administered at 200 mg/kg body wt. by gavage for four weeks to diabetic rats after which the resting metabolic rate and plasma lipid profile was determined. The results showed that vitamin C administration significantly (p less than 0.01) reduced the resting metabolic rate in diabetic rats; and also lowered plasma triglyceride, total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. These results suggest that the administration of vitamin C in this model of established diabetes mellitus might be beneficial for the restoration of basal metabolic rate and improvement of lipid profile. This may at least in part reduce the risk of cardiovascular events seen in diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Conflicting results exist regarding the impact of glycemic control on peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The influence of glycemic control on submaximal oxygen uptake (VO2) in these subjects is unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of fasting blood glucose (FBG) (short-term glycemic control) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) (long-term glycemic control) on submaximal VO2 and VO2peak during exercise in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus without cardiovascular disease. FBG and HbA1c levels and exercise tolerance in 30 sedentary men with type 2 diabetes mellitus treated with oral hypoglycemic agents and/or diet were evaluated. VO2, carbon dioxide production (VCO2), heart rate, pulmonary ventilation (VE), and the respiratory exchange ratio (RER) were measured throughout the exercise protocol. Subjects were separated into 2 groups of the same age, weight, and body mass index according to median FBG and HbA1c levels (6.5 mmol/L and 6.1%, respectively). Per protocol design, there was a significant difference in FBG and HbA1c levels (P < .001), but not for age, weight, or body mass index. There was no significant difference in peak exercise parameters between the 2 groups according to median FBG or median HbA1c levels. However, the subjects with elevated HbA1c level had lower submaximal V e throughout the exercise protocol (P < .03), and the subjects with elevated FBG concentration had a blunted heart rate pattern during submaximal exercise (P < .03). Although relatively small abnormalities in the control of glycemia do not affect VO2peak in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus without cardiovascular disease, they may influence pulmonary function and the chronotropic response during submaximal exercise in these subjects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) has been associated with a poor prognosis in patients with diabetes. Because CAN is common in patients with diabetic nephropathy, we evaluated the predictive value of CAN in type 1 diabetic patients with and without diabetic nephropathy. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In a prospective observational follow-up study, 197 type 1 diabetic patients with diabetic nephropathy and a matched group of 191 patients with long-standing type 1 diabetes and normoalbuminuria were followed for 10.1 years (range 0.0-10.3 years). At baseline, CAN was assessed by heart rate variation (HRV) during deep breathing. HRV was evaluated as a predictor of the primary end point: cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. As secondary end points, all-cause mortality and the influence of HRV on progression of diabetic nephropathy (decline in glomerular filtration rate [GFR]) was evaluated. RESULTS During the follow-up, 79 patients (40%) with nephropathy reached the combined primary end point vs. 19 patients (10%) with normoalbuminuria (log-rank test, P < 0.0001). The unadjusted hazard ratio (HR) for reaching the primary end point when having an abnormal HRV (< or =10 bpm) measured at baseline compared with a normal HRV was 7.7 (range 1.9-31.5; P = 0.004) in patients with nephropathy. Similarly in the normoalbuminuric patients, the unadjusted HR was 4.4 (1.4-13.6; P = 0.009). In patients with nephropathy, abnormal HRV was significantly associated with fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular disease after adjustment for cardiovascular risk factors. The adjusted HR for reaching the primary end point in a patient with nephropathy and an abnormal HRV was 6.4 (1.5-26.3, P = 0.010), as compared with a normal HRV. The unadjusted HR for dying when having an abnormal HRV compared with a normal HRV was 3.3 (95% CI 1.0-10.7; P = 0.043) in patients with diabetic nephropathy. After adjustment for confounding factors, the impact of HRV on all-cause mortality in patients with nephropathy was no longer significant (P = 0.293). There was no relationship between abnormal HRV and rate of decline in GFR. CONCLUSIONS HRV is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in type 1 diabetic patients with nephropathy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Type 2 diabetes is associated with reduced exercise capacity, but the cause of this association is unclear. We sought the associations of impaired exercise capacity in type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Subclinical left ventricular (LV) dysfunction was sought from myocardial strain rate and the basal segmental diastolic velocity (Em) of each wall in 170 patients with type 2 diabetes (aged 56 +/- 10 years, 91 men), good quality echocardiographic images, and negative exercise echocardiograms. The same measurements were made in 56 control subjects (aged 53 +/- 10 years, 29 men). Exercise capacity was calculated in metabolic equivalents, and heart rate recovery (HRR) was measured as the heart rate difference between peak and 1 min after exercise. In subjects with type 2 diabetes, exercise capacity was correlated with clinical, therapeutic, biochemical, and echocardiographic variables, and significant independent associations were sought using a multiple linear regression model. RESULTS Exercise capacity, strain rate, Em, and HRR were significantly reduced in type 2 diabetes. Exercise capacity was associated with age (r = -0.37, P < 0.001), male sex (r = 0.26, P = 0.001), BMI (r = -0.19, P = 0.012), HbA(1c) (A1C; r = -0.22, P = 0.009), Em (r = 0.43, P < 0.001), HRR (r = 0.42, P < 0.001), diabetes duration (r = -0.18, P = 0.021), and hypertension history (r = -0.28, P < 0.001). Age (P < 0.001), male sex (P = 0.007), BMI (P = 0.001), Em (P = 0.032), HRR (P = 0.013), and A1C (P = 0.0007) were independent predictors of exercise capacity. CONCLUSIONS Reduced exercise capacity in patients with type 2 diabetes is associated with diabetes control, subclinical LV dysfunction, and impaired HRR.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an independent risk factor for higher morbidity and mortality rates from trauma. We tested the null hypothesis that there would be no difference in the hemorrhage volumes and hemodynamic responses to uncontrolled hemorrhage between Zucker Diabetic Fat rats (ZDF) and euglycemic Sprague-Dawley rats (SD). METHODS Twenty-four adult male rats (12 ZDF and 12 SD) were anesthetized with althesin via the intraperitoneal route. The femoral artery was cannulated by cut-down to monitor the heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and to obtain blood samples for blood gas analysis. Twelve rats (6 ZDF and 6 SD) underwent uncontrolled hemorrhage by 50% tail amputation. Twelve rats (6 ZDF and 6 SD) served as non-hemorrhage controls. The HR, MAP, lactate (LAC), glucose levels (GL) and cumulative hemorrhage volume (CHV) were measured pre-hemorrhage and then every 15 min post-hemorrhage for 120 min. Data were reported as mean+/-S.E.M. Group comparisons were analyzed by ANOVA with repeated values; post hoc testing by Bonferroni (all tests were two-tailed, alpha = 0.05). RESULTS Pre-hemorrhage the SD and ZDF were evenly matched for LAC, HR and MAP. CHV (cm3/100 g) was significantly (p = 0.008) greater in the ZDF (1.49+/-0.12) as compared to the SD (0.38+/-0.11). The ZDF had significantly (p < 0.001) higher LAC (7.96+/-0.61 mmol/L) than the SD (2.0+/-0.41 mmol/L). CONCLUSION DM as compared to non-DM rats suffered a greater blood loss with a more severe lactic acidosis after a comparable uncontrolled vascular injury.

Abstract
This study evaluated the effect of losartan, an angiotensin II receptor antagonist, on cardiovascular autonomic function and large sensory nerve fiber function in individuals with diabetes mellitus. In a double-blind placebo-controlled trial, individuals were randomly assigned to treatment with a daily oral dose of 50-mg losartan (n=24) or placebo (n=20) for 12 months. Tests of cardiovascular autonomic function (i.e., RR-variation during deep breathing and the Valsalva maneuver) and of large sensory nerve fiber function (i.e., vibratory thresholds) were measured at baseline and at 12 months. No significant difference at baseline was found for duration of diabetes, glycemic control, blood pressure, or body mass index (BMI) between the two groups. After 12 months, the decline in RR-variation that occurs over time appeared to be less for those taking losartan. There was, however, no statistically significant change in the results for any of the tests of cardiovascular autonomic function or vibratory thresholds between the groups. Multivariate analyses in the losartan study group revealed an independent association of duration of diabetes, change in (reduced) systolic blood pressure (SBP), and improved vibratory thresholds. This association was particularly noted for women. Pharmacologic agents may affect cardiovascular autonomic function by favorable or detrimental changes in the electrophysiology of the heart. The results of this study indicate that, although losartan may have slowed the normal decline in RR-variation, it did not result in any significant improvement in cardiovascular autonomic nerve fiber function. An association of vibratory thresholds and SBP was observed.

Abstract
Type 2 DM appears to eliminate the relative survival advantage experienced by premenopausal nondiabetic women compared with men with regard to CVD. The role of traditional cardiovascular risk factors, while important, cannot fully account for the disparate increase in CVD among women with type 2 DM compared with nondiabetic women. The interplay between type 2 DM and female hormones may prove important. Other less traditional risk factors such as endothelial dysfunction and impaired fibrinolysis may also play a role. Impairments in cardiovascular exercise performance in women with type 2 DM may provide insight in the future as representative of a pre-CVD state. Future research should focus on the specific causes of CVD in women with DM. In the meantime, it is important to aggressively treat modifiable risk factors in this population (Table 1). The impact of this health problem will continue to increase in our aging society, because a steadily increasing proportion of the population will be women; furthermore, an increasing percentage of these women will have diabetes if current trends continue.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Low cardiorespiratory fitness is a powerful and independent predictor of mortality in people with diabetes. Several studies have examined the effects of exercise on cardiorespiratory fitness in Type 2 diabetic individuals. However, these studies had relatively small sample sizes and highly variable results. Therefore the aim of this study was to systematically review and quantify the effects of exercise on cardiorespiratory fitness in Type 2 diabetic individuals. METHODS MEDLINE, EMBASE, and four other databases were searched up to March 2002 for randomized, controlled trials evaluating effects of structured aerobic exercise interventions of 8 weeks or more on cardiorespiratory fitness in adults with Type 2 diabetes. Cardiorespiratory fitness was defined as maximal oxygen uptake (VO(2max)) during a maximal exercise test. RESULTS Seven studies, presenting data for nine randomized trials comparing exercise and control groups (overall n=266), met the inclusion criteria. Mean exercise characteristics were as follows: 3.4 sessions per week, 49 min per session for 20 weeks. Exercise intensity ranged from 50% to 75% of VO(2max). There was an 11.8% increase in VO(2max) in the exercise group and a 1.0% decrease in the control group (post intervention standardized mean difference =0.53, p<0.003). Studies with higher exercise intensities tended to produce larger improvements in VO(2max). Exercise intensity predicted post-intervention weighted mean difference in HbA(1c) (r=-0.91, p=0.002) to a larger extent than did exercise volume (r=-0.46, p=0.26). CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Regular exercise has a statistically and clinically significant effect on VO(2max) in Type 2 diabetic individuals. Higher intensity exercise could have additional benefits on cardiorespiratory fitness and HbA(1c).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the relation between diabetic autonomic neuropathy (DAN) and left ventricular (LV) function in type 1 diabetic patients. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 57 type 1 diabetic patients free of coronary artery disease and arterial hypertension were studied. Diagnosis of DAN was established by autonomic nervous function (ANF) tests, and LV systolic and diastolic functions were assessed by radionuclide ventriculography at rest. RESULTS There were 24 patients who had definite DAN, established by the presence of two or more abnormal ANF tests, and 33 subjects were without DAN. DAN patients had impaired LV filling pattern, obvious by a reduced peak filling rate (3.1 +/- 1.1 vs. 3.7 +/- 0.7 end-diastolic volume [EDV]/s, P = 0.011) and first third filling fraction (35.3 +/- 19.5 vs. 50.8 +/- 16%, P = 0.002) as well as an increased time to peak filling (159.4 +/- 45.1 vs. 134.2 +/- 33.4 ms, P = 0.02) after correction for age and heart rate. There were no differences between the two groups with regard to ejection fraction, cardiac output, and cardiac index, whereas the peak emptying rate was greater in DAN patients (4.1 +/- 0.8 vs. 3.6 +/- 0.8 EDV/s, P = 0.019), suggesting LV hypercontractility. DAN patients had an increased heart rate (83.4 +/- 11.9 vs. 72.7 +/- 9.3 bpm, P = 0.001) and slightly higher systolic blood pressure. As a result, LV working load at rest was higher in DAN patients (11,109 vs. 9,096 bpm x mmHg, P < 0.001). Moreover, a correlation was found between abnormal LV systolic and diastolic indexes and the number of abnormal ANF tests. CONCLUSIONS At rest, DAN patients have impaired LV filling pattern, slightly increased LV systolic function, and a higher LV working load, in comparison to non-DAN type 1 diabetic patients.

Abstract
Diabetic autonomic neuropathy (DAN) is a serious and common complication of diabetes. Despite its relationship to an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality and its association with multiple symptoms and impairments, the significance of DAN has not been fully appreciated. The reported prevalence of DAN varies widely depending on the cohort studied and the methods of assessment. In randomly selected cohorts of asymptomatic individuals with diabetes, approximately 20% had abnormal cardiovascular autonomic function. DAN frequently coexists with other peripheral neuropathies and other diabetic complications, but DAN may be isolated, frequently preceding the detection of other complications. Major clinical manifestations of DAN include resting tachycardia, exercise intolerance, orthostatic hypotension, constipation, gastroparesis, erectile dysfunction, sudomotor dysfunction, impaired neurovascular function, "brittle diabetes," and hypoglycemic autonomic failure. DAN may affect many organ systems throughout the body (e.g., gastrointestinal [GI], genitourinary, and cardiovascular). GI disturbances (e.g., esophageal enteropathy, gastroparesis, constipation, diarrhea, and fecal incontinence) are common, and any section of the GI tract may be affected. Gastroparesis should be suspected in individuals with erratic glucose control. Upper-GI symptoms should lead to consideration of all possible causes, including autonomic dysfunction. Whereas a radiographic gastric emptying study can definitively establish the diagnosis of gastroparesis, a reasonable approach is to exclude autonomic dysfunction and other known causes of these upper-GI symptoms. Constipation is the most common lower-GI symptom but can alternate with episodes of diarrhea. Diagnostic approaches should rule out autonomic dysfunction and the well-known causes such as neoplasia. Occasionally, anorectal manometry and other specialized tests typically performed by the gastroenterologist may be helpful. DAN is also associated with genitourinary tract disturbances including bladder and/or sexual dysfunction. Evaluation of bladder dysfunction should be performed for individuals with diabetes who have recurrent urinary tract infections, pyelonephritis, incontinence, or a palpable bladder. Specialized assessment of bladder dysfunction will typically be performed by a urologist. In men, DAN may cause loss of penile erection and/or retrograde ejaculation. A complete workup for erectile dysfunction in men should include history (medical and sexual); psychological evaluation; hormone levels; measurement of nocturnal penile tumescence; tests to assess penile, pelvic, and spinal nerve function; cardiovascular autonomic function tests; and measurement of penile and brachial blood pressure. Neurovascular dysfunction resulting from DAN contributes to a wide spectrum of clinical disorders including erectile dysfunction, loss of skin integrity, and abnormal vascular reflexes. Disruption of microvascular skin blood flow and sudomotor function may be among the earliest manifestations of DAN and lead to dry skin, loss of sweating, and the development of fissures and cracks that allow microorganisms to enter. These changes ultimately contribute to the development of ulcers, gangrene, and limb loss. Various aspects of neurovascular function can be evaluated with specialized tests, but generally these have not been well standardized and have limited clinical utility. Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is the most studied and clinically important form of DAN. Meta-analyses of published data demonstrate that reduced cardiovascular autonomic function as measured by heart rate variability (HRV) is strongly (i.e., relative risk is doubled) associated with an increased risk of silent myocardial ischemia and mortality. The determination of the presence of CAN is usually based on a battery of autonomic function tests rather than just on one test. Proceedings from a consensus conference in 1992 recommended that three tests (R-R variation, Valsalva maneuver, and postural blood pressure testing)or longitudinal testing of the cardiovascular autonomic system. Other forms of autonomic neuropathy can be evaluated with specialized tests, but these are less standardized and less available than commonly used tests of cardiovascular autonomic function, which quantify loss of HRV. Interpretability of serial HRV testing requires accurate, precise, and reproducible procedures that use established physiological maneuvers. The battery of three recommended tests for assessing CAN is readily performed in the average clinic, hospital, or diagnostic center with the use of available technology. Measurement of HRV at the time of diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and within 5 years after diagnosis of type 1 diabetes (unless an individual has symptoms suggestive of autonomic dysfunction earlier) serves to establish a baseline, with which 1-year interval tests can be compared. Regular HRV testing provides early detection and thereby promotes timely diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. HRV testing may also facilitate differential diagnosis and the attribution of symptoms (e.g., erectile dysfunction, dyspepsia, and dizziness) to autonomic dysfunction. Finally, knowledge of early autonomic dysfunction can encourage patient and physician to improve metabolic control and to use therapies such as ACE inhibitors and beta-blockers, proven to be effective for patients with CAN.

Abstract
Maximal O(2) consumption (Vo(2 max)) is lower in individuals with Type 2 diabetes than in sedentary nondiabetic individuals. This study aimed to determine whether the lower Vo(2 max) in diabetic patients was due to a reduction in maximal cardiac output (Q(max)) and/or peripheral O(2) extraction. After 11 Type 2 diabetic patients and 12 nondiabetic subjects, matched for age and body composition, who had not exercised for 2 yr, performed a bicycle ergometer exercise test to determine Vo(2 max), submaximal cardiac output, Q(max), and arterial-mixed venous O(2) (a-v O(2)) difference were assessed. Maximal workload, Vo(2 max), and maximal a-v O(2) difference were lower in Type 2 diabetic patients (P < 0.05). Q(max) was low in both groups but not significantly different: 11.2 and 10.0 l/min for controls and diabetic patients, respectively (P > 0.05). Submaximal O(2) uptake and heart rate were lower at several workloads in diabetic patients; respiratory exchange ratio was similar between groups at all workloads. Vo(2 max) was linearly correlated with a-v O(2) difference, but not Q(max) in diabetic patients. These data suggest that a reduction in maximal a-v O(2) difference contributes to a decreased Vo(2 max) in Type 2 diabetic patients.

Abstract
Type I diabetes reduces dramatically the capacity of skeletal muscle to receive oxygen (QO(2)). In control (C; n = 6) and streptozotocin-induced diabetic (D: n = 6, plasma glucose = 25.3 +/- 3.9 mmol/l and C: 8.3 +/- 0.5 mmol/l) rats, phosphorescence quenching was used to test the hypothesis that, in D rats, the decline in microvascular PO(2) [Pm(O(2)), which reflects the dynamic balance between O(2) utilization (VO(2)) and QO(2)] of the spinotrapezius muscle after the onset of electrical stimulation (1 Hz) would be faster compared with that of C rats. Pm(O(2)) data were fit with a one or two exponential process (contingent on the presence of an undershoot) with independent time delays using least-squares regression analysis. In D rats, Pm(O(2)) at rest was lower (C: 31.2 +/- 3.2 mmHg; D: 24.3 +/- 1.3 mmHg, P < 0.05) and at the onset of contractions decreased after a shorter delay (C: 13.5 +/- 1.8 s; D: 7.6 +/- 2.1 s, P < 0.05) and with a reduced mean response time (C: 31.4 +/- 3.3 s; D: 23.9 +/- 3.1 s, P < 0.05). Pm(O(2)) exhibited a marked undershoot of the end-stimulation response in D muscles (D: 3.3 +/- 1.1 mmHg, P < 0.05), which was absent in C muscles. These results indicate an altered VO(2)-to-QO(2) matching across the rest-exercise transition in muscles of D rats.

Abstract
Prescription of aerobic exercise for Type 2 diabetes mellitus (Type 2 DM) in clinical practice is frequently based on exercise intensity at maximum heart rate (60<HR(max)<79%), heart rate reserve (50<HR(reserve)<74%), and rating of perceived exertion (12<RPE<13). We examined these parameters in Japanese males with Type 2 DM at ventilatory threshold (VT) to investigate the exercise capacity of Type 2 DM patients and re-evaluate the exercise prescription. Fifty-six Japanese Type 2 DM males without autonomic neuropathy [age, 53.5+/-7.7 years; body mass index (BMI), 23.7+/-3.6 kg/m(2)] were enrolled and compared with 56 age- and BMI-matched healthy Japanese males. VT was determined breath by breath during exercise test using a ramp protocol and rates of oxygen consumption (VO(2)), work rate (WR), HR, DeltaHR, %HR(max), %HR(reserve), and RPE were measured at VT. Type 2 DM patients had significantly lower VO(2) (3.6+/-0.4 metabolic equivalents (METs)) and WR (62+/-14 W) than controls (VO(2), 3.9+/-0.6 METs; WR, 74+/-13 W). %HR(reserve), (32.6+/-7.7%) was also significantly lower compared with controls (37.6+/-8.3%), while %HR(max), was not different. RPE was also similar in diabetics (12.4+/-1.5) and controls (12.9+/-1.2), however, it was significantly lower in diabetic patients aged 60-69 years (11.8+/-2.0) and those with distal symmetric sensory neuropathy (12.2+/-1.0). Our results indicate reduced exercise capacity in Japanese Type 2 DM males and the exercise intensity of 60%HR(max), 30%HR(reserve), and RPE 12 is recommended in elderly diabetics and those with diabetic sensory neuropathy.

Abstract
We studied whether diabetes mellitus affects the bradykinin (BK)-induced release of norepinephrine (NE) from rat cardiac sympathetic endings in situ. Three groups were studied. Group A (n=12) was rendered diabetic with streptozotocin (STZ), group B (n=13) received STZ and insulin, and group C (n=14) received citrate buffer only. NPH insulin was given to group B from day 7 after STZ. Atria were paced (3Hz) with rectangular voltage pulses at mechanical threshold intensity (0.15 V/cm). The release of NE was assessed through its effects on contractile force in the presence of atropine (1 micromol/L). Intensifying the field stimulation above the neural threshold ( approximately 0.4 V/cm) produced a graded positive inotropic effect that was due to the release of NE from sympathetic nerve endings. The additional effect of 0.1 micromol/L BK on the force of contraction was determined at half-maximal neural stimulation (ie, at approximately 0.65 V/cm). Then, after washing out BK and lowering the stimulation intensity to mechanical threshold, a cumulative dose-response curve for added NE was generated, allowing the positive inotropic effects of neural stimulation (with or without BK) to be expressed in terms of an equivalent inotropic concentration of added NE ([NE(eq)]). Neural stimulation, in the absence of BK, gave an [NE(eq)] of 32+/-3 nmol/L in group A, 44+/-6 nmol/L in group B, and 37+/-6 nmol/L in group C. BK increased [NE(eq)] by a factor of 6.2+/-0.9 in group A, 4.5+/-0.5 in group B, and 3.7+/-0.3 in group C. This factor was greater in group A than in group C but indistinguishable in groups B and C. Atria from normal and diabetic rats were incubated in (3)[H]NE for 60 minutes. Excess tracer was removed, and atria were stimulated during a series of 1-minute episodes at half-maximal neural stimulation to cause exocytotic (3)[H]NE release. BK augmented (3)[H]NE release in normal (n=4) and in diabetic (n=4) atria. This BK-induced increase of (3)[H]NE overflow (expressed as a fraction of tissue (3)[H]NE radioactivity) was 4 times greater in diabetic than in normal preparations. The response to BK in releasing sympathetic neurotransmitter is augmented in diabetic rats, recovering in a manner dependent on insulin.

Abstract
Patients with type 2 diabetes often have impaired exercise capacity compared with nondiabetic subjects. Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction has been shown to limit exercise performance in nondiabetic subjects. Men with well-controlled type 2 diabetes were divided into 2 groups: normal LV diastolic function (group 1, n = 9) or LV diastolic dysfunction (group 2, n = 10) based on standard echocardiographic criteria using pulmonary veins and transmitral flow recordings. They were matched for age and had no evidence of systemic hypertension, macroalbuminuria, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, clinical diabetic complications, and thyroid disease. Good metabolic control was demonstrated by glycated hemoglobin levels of 6.7+/-1.6% and 6.6+/-2.5% (means +/- SD) in patients with LV diastolic dysfunction and in controls, respectively. Each subject performed a symptom-limited modified Bruce protocol treadmill exercise test. Maximal treadmill performance was higher in subjects with normal diastolic function compared with subjects with LV diastolic dysfunction when expressed in time (803+/-29 vs. 662+/-44 seconds, respectively, p<0.02) or in METs (11.4+/-1.2 vs. 9.5+/-1.9 METs, respectively, p<0.02). Moreover, there was a correlation between E/A ratio and exercise duration (r = 0.64, p = 0.004) or E/A ratio and METs (r = 0.658, p = 0.003). There were no significant differences in maximal heart rate, maximal systolic and diastolic blood pressure, or maximal rate-pressure product attained during the exercise test. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that LV diastolic dysfunction influences maximal treadmill performance and could explain lower maximal performance observed in patients with type 2 diabetes.
