Background
Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) has been shown to be more prevalent in patients with diabetes, and once progress to overt heart failure, carry worse clinical outcomes. Substantial number of patients were classified as indeterminate diastolic function based on the current ASE/EACVI guidelines. The implication of current diastolic function classification in predicting MACE among diabetic patients is not well established.
Purpose
To assess prognostic impact of current guidelines-based diastolic function classification, and determine predictors of 2-year MACE based on individual LVDD parameters.
Methods
A total of 111 patients with diabetes and hypertension who attended diabetic clinic follow-up at the primary healthcare settings were enrolled. All patients had no prior cardiovascular events, had preserved left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction on echocardiography and sinus rhythm on ECG at screening. Echocardiography was performed to obtain parameters of LV dimensions, LV volumes and LV diastolic function. The 2016 ASE/EACVI guidelines were applied to classify diastolic function. All patients were followed up until 2 years to assess MACE.
Results
There were 65 (58.6%) female patients. Mean age was 59.86 ± 7.45 years; mean duration of type 2 diabetes was 10.5 ± 5.41 years. 80 (72.1%) patients were classified as having normal diastolic function (nDF); 24 (21.6%) patients were classified as indeterminate diastolic function (iDF); 7 patients (6.3%) were classified as LVDD. Patients with LVDD had significantly higher LV mass index (LVMI) (mean 121.72 ± 23.28g/m2 vs 116.62 ± 24.66g/m2 in iDF vs 102.50 ± 22.89g/m2 in nDF, p = 0.003); higher left atrial volume index (LAVI) (mean 41.24 ± 10.28ml/m2 vs 30.55 ± 10.07ml/m2 in iDF vs 25.75 ± 6.30ml/m2 in nDF, p < 0.001); lower lateral e’ velocity (mean 6.35 ± 2.05cm/s vs 7.37 ± 1.73cm/s in iDF vs 8.59 ± 2.13cm/s in nDF, p = 0.003); higher septal E/e’ ratio (mean 14.89 ± 3.29 vs 12.16 ± 3.99 in iDF vs 9.99 ± 2.35 in nDF, p = 0.001); higher average septal-lateral E/e’ ratio (mean 14.22 ± 3.77 vs 11.34 ± 3.74 in iDF vs 9.04 ± 2.10 in nDF, p < 0.001).
Among these 111 patients, 10 patients (9%) reported MACE at 2 years. The risk of 2-year MACE is elevated in both indeterminate diastolic function[hazards ratio (HR) 3.80, p = 0.023] and LVDD (HR 37.78, p = 0.002). BMI (HR 1.25, p = 0.004), and systolic blood pressure (HR 1.07, p < 0.001) were found to be associated with 2-year MACE.
Conclusions
LVDD and indeterminate diastolic function were correlated with increased MACE at 2 years. BMI and systolic blood pressure were predictors of increased risk of MACE at 2 years. Further investigation with larger sample size is warranted.

Abstract
Background
Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) has been shown to be more prevalent in patients with diabetes, and once progress to overt heart failure, carry worse clinical outcomes. Substantial number of patients were classified as indeterminate DF based on the current ASE/EACVI guidelines. The implication of current DF classification in predicting MACE among diabetic patients is not well established.
Purpose
To assess prognostic impact of current guidelines-based DF classification, and determine predictors of 2-year MACE based on individual LVDD parameters.
Methods
A total of 111 patients with diabetes and hypertension who attended diabetic clinic follow-up at the primary healthcare settings were enrolled. All patients had no prior cardiovascular events, had preserved left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction on echocardiography and sinus rhythm on ECG at screening. Echocardiography was performed to obtain parameters of LV dimensions, LV volumes and LVDD. The 2016 ASE/EACVI guidelines were applied to classify DF. All patients were followed up until 2 years to assess MACE.
Results
There were 65 (58.6%) female patients. Mean age was 59.86 (7.45); mean duration of DM was 10.5 (5.41). 80 (72.1%) patients were classified as having normal DF (nDF); 24 (21.6%) patients were classified as indeterminate DF (iDF); 7 patients (6.3%) were classified as LVDD. Patients with LVDD had significantly higher LV mass index (LVMI) (mean 121.72±23.28g/m2 vs 116.62±24.66g/m2 in iDF vs 102.50±22.89g/m2 in nDF); higher left atrial volume index (LAVI) (mean 41.24±10.28ml/m2 vs 30.55±10.07ml/m2 in iDF vs 25.75±6.30ml/m2 in nDF); lower lateral e' velocity (mean 6.35±2.05cm/s vs 7.37±1.73cm/s in iDF vs 8.59±2.13cm/s in nDF); higher septal E/e' ratio (mean 14.89±3.29 vs 12.16±3.99 in iDF vs 9.99±2.35 in nDF); higher average septal-lateral E/e' ratio (mean 14.22±3.77 vs 11.34±3.74 in iDF vs 9.04±2.10 in nDF).
Among these 111 patients, 10 patients (9%) reported MACE at 2 years. The risk of 2-year MACE is elevated in both iDF [odds ratio (OR) 3.80, 95% CI 0.87–16.54, p=0.075] and LVDD [OR 7.60, 95% CI 1.11–52.02, p=0.039]. LVMI (OR 1.027, 95% CI 1.004– 1.051, p=0.023), LAVI (OR 1.092, 95% CI 1.017–1.172), and average septal-lateral E/e' ratio (OR 1.276, 95% CI 1.047–1.557, p=0.016) significantly correlated with 2-year MACE.
Conclusions
LVDD is correlated with increased MACE at 2 years. LVMI, LAVI and average septal-lateral E/e' ratio were predictors of increased risk of MACE at 2 years. Further investigation with larger sample size is warranted.

Ku MY, Lai CH, Leung WM, Chen SC. Sustained complete remission after incomplete chemoradiation complicated with pelvic cellulitis in a patient with recurrent cervical carcinoma.

Abstract
We report on a 52-year-old female patient with a bulky, recurrent cervical carcinoma involving the vagina and bladder, who developed entero-recto-vesicovaginal fistulas and sepsis with pelvic cellulitis after external radiation of 40 Gy and 2 courses of concurrent chemotherapy. Chemoradiation was interrupted and an ileostomy was performed. After recovery, no residual tumor was detectable. Thirteen months after ceasation of chemoradiation, repair of vesicovaginal and rectovaginal fistulas via posterior sagittal approach was performed. Revision of double bowel ileostomy and ileo-T-colostomy was performed 17 months later. The patient enjoyed the restoration of enteral and urinary function only temporarily. She developed rectovesical fistula and underwent an ileostomy again 6 months later. She had another episode of peritonitis and upper gastrointestinal bleeding and expired at 4 years from initiation of salvage therapy. She had no evidence of cancer recurrence during a series of laparotomies and biopsies. The dramatic regression of the tumor may be attributed to its extraordinary radiosensitivity or chemosensitivity. The acute pelvic inflammatory complications may also contribute to the tumor cell killing. The prognosis of recurrent cervical carcinoma is invariably poor except in small tumors confined to vagina. This case gives support to the efficacy of chemoradiation and the potential role of biologic therapy in treatment of this dismal disease.
