To study signs of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) in nondiabetic patients with controlled arterial hypertension (AH) and glycemic response during first hour of glucose tolerance test (GTT). Patients (n = 47) with controlled AH were divided into 2 groups according to results of GTT with 75 g of glucose: patients of group 1 (n = 22) had glucose level ≤ 200 mg/dl during 1-st hour of GTT; other patients (n = 25) composed group 2. Examination of all patients included transthoracic echocardiography, ultrasound Dopplerography, tissue Doppler (TD) and 24-hour Holter ECG monitoring. Using data of these methods we calculated left ventricular (LV) mass and the following characteristics of mitral ring: E/A, TD e', TD a', TD s', TD e'/a'/. The following characteristics of heart rate variability were obtained: standard deviation of normal RR intervals (SDNN), low and high frequency (LF, HF) power, LF/HF ratio. Patients of group 2 had higher LV mass (229.5 ± 58.2 vs. 192.1 ± 50.6 g; p = 0.036), more pronounced changes of TD e'/a' (0.71 ± 0.25 vs. 1.06 ± 0.58; p = 0.011), lower SDNN both during day (85.4 ± 14.1 vs. 112.5 ± 31.3 ms, p = 0.007) and night (82.2 ± 22.1 vs. 105.9 ± 28.5 ms, p = 0,004) time, higher nocturnal LF/HF ratio (3.75 ± 4.02 vs. 1.72 ± 0.81, p = 0,029). In patients with controlled arterial hypertension (AH) and glycemic response during first hour of GCT we revealed various pronounced manifestations of DCM. These data constitute a basis for further studies.
