Hemodynamic concomitants of glycemia in diabetes mellitus: Working hypothesis

Abstract

This report illustrates a working hypothesis that proposes a simple-to-use, noninvasive hemodynamic system to provide myocardial contractility and arterial compliance patterns that may be clinically useful adjuncts to insulin and glycemic measurements in diabetes mellitus. This proposition is based on the concept that biochemical cellular milieu may only obliquely predict cellular function, whereas in the biophysical domain, it may be more clearly delineated.

Key Words:

• hemodynamic patterns
• glycemia
• diabetes mellitus
