AIMS: Diastolic reserve is the ability of left ventricular filling pressures to remain normal with exercise. Impaired diastolic reserve may be an early sign of diabetic cardiomyopathy. We aimed to determine whether diastolic reserve differs in type 2 diabetes (DM) compared with non-DM, and to identify clinical, anthropological, metabolic and resting echocardiographic correlates of impaired diastolic reserve in patients with DM. METHODS AND RESULTS: 237 patients (aged 53+/-11 years, 133 DM, ejection fraction 68+/-9%) underwent rest and exercise echocardiography. Mitral E and septal e' were measured at rest, immediately post, and 10 min into recovery. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and binary regression with continuous outcomes were used to model e' and E/e' changes with exercise to identify impaired diastolic reserve defined as post-exercise E/e'>/=15. After adjusting for baseline differences, patients with DM immediately post-exercise had a lower septal e', a lower Deltae' (1.2 vs 2.3 cm/s, p=0.006) and a higher Delta septal E/e' (1.7 vs 0.08, p<0.001) than patients without DM. In patients with normal resting E/e' of
