Tóm tắt

In diabetes, dysregulated substrate utilization and energy metabolism of myocardium can lead to heart failure. To examine the dynamic changes of myocardium, most of the previous studies conducted dynamic myocardial PET imaging following euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp, which involves complicated procedures. In comparison, the whole-body 18F-FDG PET/CT scan is a simple and widely used method. Therefore, we hope to use this method to observe abnormal myocardial glucose metabolism in diabetes and determine the influencing factors. We retrospectively analyzed PET/CT images of 191 subjects from our medical examination center. The levels of FDG uptake in myocardium were visually divided into 4 grades (Grade 0–3, from low to high). The differences in clinical and metabolic parameters among diabetes mellitus (DM), impaired fasting glucose (IFG), and normal fasting glucose (NFG) groups were analyzed, as well as their associations with myocardial FDG uptake. Compared with NFG and IFG groups, DM group had more cardiovascular-related risk factors. The degree of myocardial FDG uptake was significantly decreased in DM group; when myocardial FDG uptake ≤ Grade 1, the sensitivity of DM prediction was 84.0%, and the specificity was 58.4%. Univariate analysis showed that the myocardial FDG uptake was weakly and negatively correlated with multiple metabolic-related parameters (r = − 0.173~ − 0.365, P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that gender (male), HOMA-IR and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) were independent risk factors for poor myocardial FDG uptake. Diabetes is associated with decreased myocardial glucose metabolism, which is mediated by multiple metabolic abnormalities.
