Glycated Hemoglobin Measurement and Prediction of Cardiovascular Disease

March 26th 2014

In a study of individuals without known CVD or diabetes, additional assessment of HbA1c values in the context of CVD risk assessment provided little incremental benefit for prediction of CVD risk (JAMA)

Chronic Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Inhibition With Sitagliptin Is Associated With Sustained Protection Against Ischemic Left Ventricular Dysfunction

March 20th 2014

The addition of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor therapy with sitagliptin to the treatment regime of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and coronary artery disease is associated with a sustained improvement in myocardial performance during dobutamine stress and a reduction in postischemic stunning (Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging)

Diabetes as a risk factor for stroke in women compared with men: a systematic review and meta-analysis of 64 cohorts, including 775 385 individuals and 12 539 strokes

March 7th 2014

The excess risk of stroke associated with diabetes is significantly higher in women than men, independent of sex differences in other major cardiovascular risk factors. These data add to the existing evidence that men and women experience diabetes-related diseases differently and suggest the need for further work to clarify the biological, behavioural, or social mechanisms involved (The Lancet)

Outcomes of Combined Cardiovascular Risk Factor Management Strategies in Type 2 Diabetes: The ACCORD Randomized Trial

March 5th 2014

Compared with combined standard treatment, intensive BP or intensive glycemia treatment alone improved major CVD outcomes, without additional benefit from combining the two. In the ACCORD lipid trial, neither intensive lipid nor glycemia treatment produced an overall benefit, but intensive glycemia treatment increased mortality (Diabetes Care)

The Relationship Between Alcohol Consumption and Vascular Complications and Mortality in Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

March 3rd 2014

In patients with type 2 diabetes, moderate alcohol use, particularly wine consumption, is associated with reduced risks of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality (Diabetes Care)

Cardiovascular Risk Profile in Subjects With Prediabetes and New-Onset Type 2 Diabetes Identified by HbA1c

February 28th 2014

These data suggest that a simple, reproducible, and less expensive marker such as HbA1c may be better able to identify prediabetic subjects at high cardiovascular risk compared with fasting glycemia or OGTT alone (Diabetes Care)

Reduction of albumin urinary excretion is associated with reduced cardiovascular events in hypertensive and/or diabetic patients

February 24th 2014

Reduction in UAE is associated with reduced risk of MI and stroke in diabetic and/or hypertensive patients. These findings suggest that UAE changes may represent a valuable intermediate end-point for CV risk evaluation in clinical practice (International Journal of Cardiology)

Association of Myocardial Dysfunction with Vitamin D Deficiency in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

January 20th 2014

In patients with T2DM and no history of coronary artery disease, vit-D deficiency is independently associated with impaired global longitudinal strain. This suggests that vit-D deficiency may contribute to the development of myocardial dysfunction in these patients (Journal of Diabetes and Its Complications)

Immature platelet fraction in diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome

IPF is elevated in patients with diabetes and associated with poor glycemic control and cardiovascular complication (Thrombosis Research)

Do Treatment Quality Indicators Predict Cardiovascular Outcomes

November 20th 2013

Treatment quality indicators measuring lipid- and albuminuria-lowering treatment status are valid quality measures, since they predict a lower risk of cardiovascular events and mortality in patients with diabetes. The quality indicators for glucose-lowering treatment should only be used for restricted populations with elevated HbA1c levels. Intriguingly, the tested indicators for blood pressure-lowering treatment did not predict patient outcomes (PLoS ONE)

Prediabetes and Newly Diagnosed & TIA or Stroke

October 31st 2013

Prediabetes and newly diagnosed diabetes are highly prevalent in patients with a TIA or stroke. The majority of these patients would not have been identified by fasting plasma glucose levels alone. Both 2-hour postload glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin levels identify more patients with a disturbed glucose metabolism (Cerebrovascular Diseases)

PONTIAC study

October 9th 2013

Accelerated up-titration of RAS antagonists and beta-blockers to maximum tolerated dosages is an effective and safe intervention for the primary prevention of cardiac events for diabetic patients pre-selected using NT-proBNP (American Journal of Cardiology)

Biological link between diabetes and heart disease

October 1st 2013

Researchers have identified for the first time a biological pathway that is activated when blood sugar levels are abnormally high and causes irregular heartbeats, a condition known as cardiac arrhythmia that is linked with heart failure and sudden cardiac death (UC Davis Health System)

Cardiac implications of hypoglycaemia

September 22nd 2013

Emerging data suggest that there is an impact of hypoglycaemia on CV function and mechanistic link is multifactorial. Further research will be needed to ascertain the full impact of hypoglycaemia on the CV system and its complications (Cardiovascular Diabetology)

Fluvastatin – reduction of oxidative stress – diabetic cardiomyopathy

August 29th 2013

These results suggest that beneficial effects of fluvastatin on diabetic cardiomyopathy might result, at least in part, from improving coronary microvasculature through reduction in myocardial oxidative stress and upregulation of angiogenic factor (Heart and Vessels)

Circulating GLP-1 and coronary atherosclerosis

Circulating GLP-1 was found to be positivity associated with coronary atherosclerosis in humans. The clinical relevance of this observation needs further investigation (Cardiovascular Diabetology)

Stiffness memory of EA.hy926 endothelial cells – chronic hyperglycemia

June 28th 2013

Our results indicate that glycemic memory causes irreversible changes in stiffness of endothelial cells. The formation of the observed “stiffness memory” could be important in the context of vascular complications which develop despite the normalization of the glucose level (Cardiovascular Diabetology)

Cardiovascular Effects of Intensive Lifestyle Intervention T2D

An intensive lifestyle intervention focusing on weight loss did not reduce the rate of cardiovascular events in overweight or obese adults with type 2 diabetes (NEJM)

Subclinical myocardial injury & arterial stiffness T2D

June 24th 2013

The results demonstrated an independent association between ba-PWV and hs-TNI in patients with T2DM with no clinical evidence of macrovascular disease. These findings suggest that increased arterial stiffness is closely related to subclinical myocardial injury in patients with T2DM (Cardiovascular Diabetology)

Insulin Resistance and Risk of Incident Heart Failure

June 10th 2013

Fasting insulin was positively associated with adverse echocardiographic features and risk of subsequent HF in Cardiovascular Health Study participants, including those without an antecedent myocardial infarction (Circulation: Heart Failure)
