“…Early studies of cardiac biopsy samples showed significantly higher incidence of small vessel disease in diabetic patients. 32 The microvasculature is dynamically regulated by a combination of endogenous pro-versus antiangiogenic forces, [33][34][35] including EC impairment, decreased local presence of survival factors and increased local presence of anti-angiogenic factors. [33][34][35][36] Decreased coronary reserve is a well-recognized contributor to the early incidence of cardiac abnormalities in diabetic patients.…”

“…These factors include small vessel disease, abnormal myocardial capillaries and small intramural arteries, endothelial dysfunction, increased platelet aggregability, and hyperfibrinogenemia (25)(26)(27). According to previous studies with different diagnostic approaches to detect myocardial ischemia or perfusion defects during stress, if coronary angiography is used as the gold standard (28 -33), there is a subset of diabetic patients with a false positive stress myocardial contrast echocardiographic study.…”

“…In fact, impaired glucose metabolism and diabetes alter the myocardial metabolism reducing cardiac susceptibility to ischemic stimuli and cardiac performance and therefore, in diabetic patients with coronary artery disease, the episodes of transient myocardial ischemia coupled with chronic myocardial hypoperfusion due to diffuse distribution of atherosclerosis may cause a progressive decline of left ventricular function [29]. Given the metabolic alterations of the diabetic heart at rest and during episodes of myocardial ischemia a therapeutic approach aimed at an improvement of cardiac metabolism through manipulations of the utilization of metabolic substrates should result in an improvement of myocardial ischemia and of left ventricular function [30].…”
