the diabetic patients determined as having cardiac autonomic neuropathy ( n = 15 ) had depressed left ventricular diastolic filling compared with subjects free of autonomic neuropathy , whether measured as the time to peak filling rate ( 154.2 +/- 12.0 versus 119.1 +/- 10.6 ms , p less than 0.05 ) or the time to peak filling rate normalized to the cardiac cycle length ( 24.3 +/- 2.2 versus 16.2 +/- 1.5 % , p less than 0.01 ) .
