title: Impaired glucose tolerance as a determinant of early deterioration of left ventricular diastolic function in middle-aged healthy subjects.
abstract: To clarify the determinants of an abnormal relaxation diastolic pattern assessed by Doppler echocardiography, 131 middle-aged healthy subjects were analyzed. By multivariate logistic regression analysis, fasting insulin levels (p = 0.0016) and peak glucose levels (p = 0.046) were independent predictors of an abnormal relaxation diastolic pattern 2 hours after 75 g OGTT.
