Abstract

Abstract Aims/Introduction Recently, some data have supported the concept that diabetes is negatively associated with aortic aneurysm. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between diabetes and cardiac structural and functional characteristics, in particular, aortic root dimensions, in end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Methods ESRD patients receiving peritoneal dialysis for >3 months were consecutively enrolled. Clinical features and echocardiographic parameters were analyzed according to the presence of diabetes history. Correlation analyses were carried out for diabetes mellitus and aortic root dilatation. Multiple logistic regression analysis was carried out to identify variables correlated with aortic root dilatation. Results A total of 218 ESRD patients receiving peritoneal dialysis were enrolled. Patients with diabetes showed lower left ventricular internal measurements in end‐diastole, left ventricular internal measurements in end‐systole and aortic root diameter (ARD)/body surface area (BSA). Worse cardiac diastolic function was also observed in these patients. In addition, the age‐related increase of ARD/BSA and ARD/height was attenuated in patients with diabetes. With the increase of ARD/BSA, lower levels of serum creatinine, phosphorus and serum glucose, as well as higher serum high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol and apolipoprotein A‐1 were also observed. Increased normalized left ventricular internal measurements were shown in patients with greater ARD/BSA. Multiple regression analysis showed that diabetes (odds ratio 0.353, P = 0.015) was an independent correlate of aortic root dilatation, even after correction for age, sex and other clinical confounders in the enrolled patients. Conclusions The present findings shown an inverse association between diabetes and age‐related aortic root dilatation in ESRD patients. Diabetes remained to be independently correlated with aortic root dilatation even after adjustment for age, sex and other clinical confounders in ESRD patients.
