Abstract

mechanisms of diastolic dysfunction are not understood well. Hydrogen sulfide is an important endogenous gaseous trans-mitter that can influence heart remodeling. The aim was to determine total plasma sulfide (TPS) levels, as a surrogate marker of hydrogen sulfide, in patients with mild diastolic dysfunction.

Methods. Total plasma sulfide and N-ter-minal pro brain-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels were determined in ambulatory patients with arterial hyper-tension or diabetes mellitus and echocar-diographically mild to moderate diastolic dysfunction.

Results. Twenty-four patients were in-cluded: nine with normal diastolic func-tion (Grade 0), eight with an impaired relaxation pattern (Grade 1), and seven with a pseudo-normalized pattern (Grade 2). TPS levels were highest in patients with normal diastolic function (Grade 0), and lowest in patients with Grade 2 diastolic dysfunction, with this difference between Grade 0 and Grade 2 showing statistical significance (p = 0.017). NT-proBNP lev-els showed the reverse behavior, with this difference again showing statistical signifi-cance (p = 0.042).

Conclusions. Total plasma sulfide levels decrease with worsening of diastolic func-tion from normal to moderate diastolic dysfunction.
