Type II diabetes mellitus is associated with congestive heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. This group of patients has been assumed to have isolated diastolic dysfunction; however, the longitudinal systolic contraction of the left ventricle has not been studied previously. The objective of the present study was to investigate the longitudinal contraction of the left ventricle in normotensive Type II diabetes mellitus patients with normal ejection fraction. We examined 32 normotensive patients with Type II diabetes mellitus with ejection fraction >0.55 and fractional shortening >0.25. Exclusion criteria were angina pectoris, cardiac valve disease, albuminuria, retinopathy or neuropathy. Normal subjects (n=32) served as controls. A 16-segment model of motion amplitude assessed left ventricular longitudinal contraction and the average of the segments was calculated as the tissue tracking score index. Peak systolic velocity and strain rate was also obtained in each segment. Patients with Type II diabetes mellitus had a significantly lower tissue tracking score index compared with normal subjects (5.8+/-1.6 mm compared with 7.7+/-1.1 mm; P
