Changes in myocardial water content, left ventricular diastolic stiffness, cardiac performance, coronary blood flow, myocardial contractile force, rate of change of myocardial force, and peak acceleration of the aortic volume flow were examined in twenty-five dogs during glucose-induced hyperosmolality before and after pancreatectomy, the latter with and without insulin treatment. Glucose-induced hyperosmolality accounted for myocardial dehydration, increased diastolic stiffness and consequent decrease of left ventricular performance only in the absence of insulin, while coronary blood flow, myocardial contractile force, rate of change of myocardial force and peak acceleration of the aortic volume flow increased independently from the presence or absence of insulin during the glucose-induced hyperosmolality. These findings suggest that the frequent development of heart failure in hyperosmolar diabetic coma could partly be explained by myocardial dehydration and by the consequent decrease in left ventricular compliance and performance.

Three patients with noncardiac Child A cirrhosis underwent cardiac surgery. All survived surgery, but 2 died during follow-up periods. A 61-year-old woman who underwent successful double valve replacement died of diabetic coma and severe acidosis due to intestinal necrosis 18 months later. A 57-year-old woman who underwent successful mitral valve replacement died of liver failure induced by heart failure 9 years later. A 45-year-old man who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting is doing well 18 months after discharge. Proper perioperative management, including high-flow cardiopulmonary bypass, pharmacological and mechanical circulatory support, and mechanical respiratory support prevented further, potentially lethal, hepatic dysfunction, leading to good early surgical results. We concluded that patients with Child A cirrhosis could tolerate cardiac surgery. Subsequent surgical results, however, were unsatisfactory, and more careful follow-up is necessary to obtain better late results.

To estimate short- and long-term costs of inpatient hospitalization in Sweden for major diabetes mellitus-related events. Costs were estimated using administrative hospital data from the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare, which is linked to the Swedish National Diabetes Register. Data were available for 179 749 patients with diabetes in Sweden from 1998 to 2003 (mean and median duration of 6 years' follow-up). Costing of inpatient admissions was based on Nordic diagnosis-related groups (NordDRG). Multiple regression analysis (linear and generalizing estimating equation models) was used to estimate inpatient care costs controlling for age, sex and co-morbidities. The data on hospitalizations were converted to costs (euro) using 2003 exchange rates. The average annual costs (linear model) associated with inpatient admissions for a 60-year-old male in the year the first event first occurred were as follows: euro6488 (95% CI 5034, 8354) for diabetic coma; euro6850 (95% CI 6514, 7204) for heart failure; euro7853 (95% CI 7559, 8144) for non-fatal stroke; euro8121 (95% CI 7104, 9128) for peripheral circulatory complications; euro8736 (95% CI 8474, 9001) for non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI); euro10 360 (95% CI 10 085, 10 643) for ischaemic heart disease; euro11 411 (95% CI 10 298, 12 654) for renal failure; and euro14 949 (95% CI 13 849, 16 551) for amputation. On average, the costs were higher when co-morbidity was accounted for (e.g. MI with co-morbidity was twice as costly as MI alone). Average hospital inpatient costs associated with common diabetes-related events can be estimated using panel data regression methods. These could assist in modelling of long-term costs of diabetes and in evaluating the cost effectiveness of improving care.
