Fig 3. Correlation between cardiac metabolism and diastolic function in diabetic patients.

Fig 3

E/e’ is an indicator of diastolic dysfunction with higher values indicating higher ventricular filling pressures. The parameter did not correlate with Pi/PCr (A) but did correlate inversely with PCr/ATP (B, p = 0.02) in the diabetics recruited. Overall, PCr/ATP did not correlate well with Pi/PCr but when plotted against one another (C) the shift to higher Pi/PCr and lower PCr/ATP in T2DM can be appreciated.
