    Notes: Summary To analyse the presence and extent of global and regional distributions of cardiac sympathetic dysinnervation in long-term insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) without myocardial perfusion abnormalities (99mTc-methoxy isobutyl isonitrile study), 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG) scintigraphy was performed in two clinically-comparable groups (20 diabetic patients with and 22 diabetic patients without ECG-based cardiac autonomic neuropathy). For comparison nine control subjects without heart disease were investigated. Only six diabetic patients (27%) without and one diabetic patient (5%) with ECG-based autonomic neuropathy were found to have a uniform homogeneous uptake of 123I-MIBG, in contrast to a uniform homogeneous uptake in all control subjects. The uptake of 123I-MIBG in the posterior myocardium of diabetic patients was smaller than in the anterior, lateral and septal myocardium (p〈0.001, p〈0.001, p=0.001). In addition, diabetic patients with cardiac autonomic neuropathy (≥ two of five age-related cardiac reflex tests abnormal) demonstrated a more reduced uptake in the global, lateral and posterior myocardium than diabetic patients without (p〈0.01, p〈0.01, p〈0.001). A correlation between global or regional myocardial 123I-MIBG uptake, however, and duration of diabetes, HbA1c, body mass index or QT interval length was not observed. Our study demonstrates that cardiac sympathetic dysinnervation is common in long-term IDDM even in patients without ECG-based cardiac autonomic neuropathy and that the posterior myocardium is predominantly affected. We conclude that 123I-MIBG scintigraphy is a promising approach to further elucidate the pattern and natural history of myocardial dysinnervation in IDDM.

    Autoantibodies against sympathetic ganglia and evidence of cardiac sympathetic dysinnervation in newly diagnosed and long-term IDDM patients (1996)

    Notes: Summary To investigate the presence of autoantibodies against sympathetic nervous tissue and their correlation with cardiac sympathetic dysinnervation in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), 20 newly diagnosed (age 26 ± 6 years) and 48 long-term IDDM patients (age 40 ± 13 years, duration of diabetes 22 ± 12 years) without myocardial perfusion abnormalities (normal 99 mTC-methoxyisobutylisonitrile uptake) were assessed for myocardial 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG) uptake and complement-fixing sympathetic ganglia (CF-SG) autoantibodies. Both groups of patients were also studied for islet cell antibodies (ICA) and ECG-based cardiac autonomic neuropathy. Eighty control subjects (age 18–49 years) were investigated for CF-SG autoantibodies. Eight newly diagnosed (40 %) and 12 long-term (25 %) IDDM patients exhibited CF-SG autoantibodies, compared to 4 control subjects (5 %; p 〈 0.01, p 〈 0.05). In long-term diabetic patients, the reduction of global but not of regional myocardial 123I-MIBG uptake correlated with CF-SG autoantibodies (r = 0.34, p = 0.02). Newly diagnosed diabetic patients did not show an association between CF-SG autoantibodies and global or regional myocardial 123I-MIBG uptake. ECG-based cardiac autonomic neuropathy ( ≥ two of five cardiac reflex tests abnormal) was present in 22 and absent in 26 long-term IDDM patients, of whom 9 (41 %) and 3 (12 %), respectively were positive for CF-SG autoantibodies (p = 0.02). Only 1 newly diagnosed IDDM patient demonstrated ECG-based cardiac autonomic neuropathy and was also positive for CF-SG autoantibodies. Although they are somewhat suggestive, results concerning autoantibodies against sympathetic nervous tissue and cardiac sympathetic dysinnervation do not strongly support the view that autoimmune mechanisms play a major role in the pathogenesis of cardiac sympathetic neuropathy in IDDM.
