Acromegaly and diabetes mellitus (DM) separately are associated with cardiovascular alterations and modified left ventricular (LV) deformation, which can be quantitatively assessed by three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (3DSTE). The present study aimed to assess the relationship between LV deformation and twist in the presence of DM in acromegaly. Thirty-seven acromegaly patients were involved in the study, but due to insufficient image quality 13 have to be excluded from analysis. Therefore, the present study comprised 24 acromegaly patients, from which 5 had DM. Their data was compared to 35 age- and gender matched healthy controls. Complete two-dimensional Doppler echocardiography extended with 3DSTE were performed in all patients and controls. Only non-diabetic acromegaly cases had increased global and mean segmental LV radial strain, diabetic acromegaly patients had similar LV radial strain as compared to that of healthy subjects. Other LV strain parameters did not show any difference between diabetic and non-diabetic acromegaly patients. While LV basal rotation was similar among the groups, LV apical rotation was reduced in both diabetic and non-diabetic patients as compared to healthy subjects. However, diabetic acromegaly patients had tendentiously higher values. The ratio of absence of LV twist called as LV rigid body rotation was similar between the groups examined. Diabetes mellitus deteriorates left ventricular deformation in acromegaly.
