Abstract: Objective To explore the relationship between the expression of new adipokines in serum such as visfatin and vaspin,and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We studied the related factors affecting LVH in T2DM.Methods Totally 93 patients with T2DM were enrolled, all patients were tested for biochemical indicators and blood routine indicators, echocardiography was done, the left ventricular myocardial mass index (LVMI) was calculated. According to LVMI, patients were divided into T2DM with LVH group (case group, n=45) versus T2DM without LVH group (control group, n=48), Logistic regression was used to analyze the correlation between visfatin, vaspin and LVH in T2DM patients. Results Compared with the control group, the concentrations of visfatin and vaspin in the case group were increased [(4.57±2.74)ng/mL vs (3.35±2.05)ng/mL,(417.40±230.71)pg/mL vs (328.07±218.99)pg/mL], and the difference was statistically significant (P< 0.05). The results of Logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that visfatin, coronary heart disease, and high density lipoprotein-cholesterol(HDL-C)were independent predictors of T2DM combined with LVH. Further analysis of the factors related to visfatin and glucose and lipid metabolism showed that the level of visfatin was negatively correlated with HDL-C in T2DM population (P<0.05). Conclusion Serum visfatin concentrations were increased with LVMI in T2DM and associated with glycolipid metabolism disorder. Visfatin may be involved in the pathological process of developing LVH in T2DM.It may be a predictive factor for the development of LVH in patients with diabetes.
