OBJECTIVE: Left ventricular and left atrial strain are sensitive and reliable markers for evaluating cardiac function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), with interactions between the two parameters. The present study aimed to analyze the correlation between global longitudinal strain (GLS) of the left ventricle and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in patients with T2DM.

METHODS: A total of 292 patients clinically diagnosed with T2DM were selected and divided into three groups according to HbA1c level. The strains of the left atrium and left ventricle in the three groups of T2DM patients with different HbA1c levels were compared. Univariate and multivariate (including left atrial functional indicators) linear regression analyses were performed to assess the relationship between strain indicators and HbA1c levels. Generalized additive models were used to examine the relationship between strain indicators and HbA1c levels.

RESULTS: There were significant differences among the three groups in terms of age, microalbuminuria, total cholesterol, fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose, and HbA1c level, and left atrial conduit longitudinal strain (LAScd) and GLS (p < .05). Univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses revealed that, as HbA1c levels increased, the absolute value of GLS gradually decreased (p < .001). Curve fitting revealed a positive correlation between HbA1c level and GLS, which was not affected by left atrial function.

CONCLUSION: Left ventricular GLS was independently correlated with HbA1c level in patients with T2DM and was not affected by left atrial function.
