Corneal confocal microscopy identifies early and definite diabetic cardiac autonomic neuropathy
Objective
Advanced cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is associated with increased mortality in people with diabetes. Early identification and reduction of risk factors can limit the progression of CAN. However, the diagnosis of early CAN relies on cardiac autonomic reflex testing (CART’s) which is not widely available. We have compared the diagnostic utility of corneal confocal microscopy (CCM) to CART’s in diagnosing CAN.
Research design and methods
Two-hundred and thirty eight individuals with type 1 and type 2 diabetes and thirty seven healthy controls were assessed using CARTs and CCM.
Results
There was a progressive and significant reduction in DB-HRV, E:I ratio, 30:15 ratio, corneal nerve fibre density (CNFD), corneal nerve branch density (CNBD) and corneal nerve fibre length (CNFL) with increasing severity of CAN. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) area under the curve (AUC) and sensitivity/specificity of CCM were comparable to those of CARTs for identifying early and definite CAN.
Conclusion
CCM is a rapid, non-invasive ophthalmic test which could be used to detect early and established CAN.
期刊介绍:
Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice is an international journal for health-care providers and clinically oriented researchers that publishes high-quality original research articles and expert reviews in diabetes and related areas. The role of the journal is to provide a venue for dissemination of knowledge and discussion of topics related to diabetes clinical research and patient care. Topics of focus include translational science, genetics, immunology, nutrition, psychosocial research, epidemiology, prevention, socio-economic research, complications, new treatments, technologies and therapy.
