Abstract
Independent of LVEF, the pattern of abnormal LV filling in normotensive subjects 2 months after AMI is a function of the severity of glucose intolerance, restrictive in the majority of the diabetic patients and nonrestrictive in the majority of the euglycemic patients, impaired glucose tolerance, and stress hyperglycemia. After AMI, abnormal LV filling occurs even in the absence of detectable systolic dysfunction or left ventricular hypertrophy.
