Methods Two hundred and thirty-two patients with diabetes mellitus (105 with cardiac autonomic neuropathy and 127 without cardiac autonomic neuropathy) and 232 control subjects, matched by gender and age, were studied. Diagnosis of cardiac autonomic neuropathy was based on the classic autonomic function tests. All subjects underwent a digital electrocardiographic recording. Electrocardiographic parameters were measured using the Modular Electrocardiographic Analysis (MEANS) program. Left ventricular mass index (LVMi) and global myocardial performance index (Tei index) of the left ventricle were assessed by ultrasonography. Results The spatial QRS-T angle was higher in the patients with diabetes in comparison with the control subjects (24.5 ± 10.7 vs. 9.7 ± 4.5°, P |
