Figure 1 Relation of LVEDVI and the Estimate of LV Filling Pressure E/Ea
Relation between left ventricular end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVI) and the estimate of left ventricular (LV) filling pressure E/Ea in control subjects (open box, n = 24) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients (solid box, n = 78). Values are mean ± SD. The LVEDVI was significantly lower in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients (p < 0.001) at similar estimates of LV filling pressure (E/Ea, p = 0.228) compatible with decreased LV compliance in T2DM patients.

Figure 2 Myocardial Substrate and High-Energy Phosphate Metabolism
Myocardial fatty acid uptake (MFAU), myocardial fatty acid oxidation (MFAO), and myocardial fatty acid esterification (MFAE) (A); the metabolic rate of glucose uptake (MMRglu) (B); and phosphocreatine/adenosine triphosphate (PCr/ATP) ratio (C) in control subjects (open bars) and T2DM patients (solid bars). *p < 0.001, p < 0.01, p < 0.05. Abbreviation as in Figure 1.
