title: [Left diastolic ventricular function, systolic blood pressure and erythrocyte magnesium in young type I diabetics].
abstract: Early cardiac involvement has been reported in type I diabetes mellitus. This study was undertaken to evaluate the relationship of systolic blood pressure (SBP), erythrocyte magnesium (MgE) and left ventricular diastolic function (LVDF). Forty-four patients with insulin-dependand diabetes (IDD) aged 26 to 31 years, without apparent cardiac complications 8.5 +/- 6 years after the onset of disease were studied. They were compared with 20 healthy subjects of the same age who comprised the control group. Left ventricular diastolic function was evaluated by isotopic technetium 9m ventriculography with a Gamma-Picker scintilation chamber, by determining maximum left ventricular filling velocities (I, VFmax). The MgF was measured by EDTA titrimetry. Patients were divided into two subgroups depending on the SBP: Group A (20 patients) with a mean SBP of 136 +/- 4.2 mmHf and Group B (24 patients) with a mean SBP of 118 +/- 4.4 mmHg; the control group had a mean SBP of 110 +/- 4.4 mmHg. The following results were obtained. [table: see text] The authors conclude that even small increases of SBP may, with a decrease in Mg, be a risk factor for early cardiac complications in IDD in young adults.
