Reduced Myocardial Perfusion Reserve in Type 2 Diabetes Is Caused by Increased Perfusion at Rest and Decreased Maximal Perfusion During Stress.

To examine differences in myocardial blood flow (MBF) at rest and during stress between patients with type 2 diabetes and control subjects, and to identify potential predictors of changes in MBF at rest and during stress. A cross-sectional study was conducted of 193 patients with type 2 diabetes and 20 age- and sex-matched control subjects. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance was used to evaluate left ventricular structure and function and MBF at rest and during adenosine-induced stress. MBF was derived as the mean of the flow within all segments of a midventricular slice. Patients with type 2 diabetes had higher global MBF at rest (0.81 ± 0.19 mL/min/g) and lower global MBF during stress (2.4 ± 0.9 mL/min/g) than control subjects (0.61 ± 0.11 at rest, 3.2 ± 0.8 mL/min/g under stress; both Patients with type 2 diabetes have higher global MBF at rest and lower maximal MBF during vasodilator-induced stress than control subjects. Reduced MBF during stress is associated with diabetes complications (albuminuria and retinopathy) and is inversely correlated with diffuse myocardial fibrosis.
