Int Endod J 2024; 57:1099-1109. [PMID: 38581182 DOI: 10.1111/iej.14068] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2023] [Revised: 02/19/2024] [Accepted: 03/24/2024] [Indexed: 04/08/2024]
Abstract
AIM This prospective cohort study was undertaken to evaluate the success rate of root canal treatment (RCT) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with targeted level and unachieved targeted level of glycaemic control as well as the impact of RCT on the glucose blood level in T2DM patients. METHODOLOGY Patients needing RCT were divided into three groups: these without T2DM, that is, the control group (CG), those with targeted level of glycated haemoglobin HbA1c < 7% (TL A1c) and the third ones with unachieved targeted level (UTL A1c), that is, with HbA1c ≥ 7%. Before RCT, HbA1c and the periapical index (PAI) score were assessed, as well as 1 year later. RESULTS Our results showed less favourable treatment results of RCT such as a reduction of radiographic lesions in T2DM patients, particularly in subjects with UTL A1c. The intergroup analysis of PAI score at the 12-month follow-up revealed a significant difference in TL A1C (p = .022) and CG (p = .001) with respect to UTL A1c. Total number of healed teeth (PAI≤2) at the 12-month after RCT in UTL A1c was significantly lower in comparison to CG (p = .008). Contrariwise, RCT may improve the glycaemic control in diabetic patients with UTL A1c after 12 months of posttreatment. Regression analysis showed that UTL A1c patients were more likely to have AP persistence after endodontic treatment (OR = 4.788; CI: 1.157-19.816; p = .031). CONCLUSIONS T2DM retards the AP healing and conversely AP contributes to increasing the inflammatory burden in T2DM. RCT reduces the cumulative inflammatory burden in T2DM and thus may contribute to improvement of glycaemic control particularly in patients with UTL A1c.

Abstract
The increasing burden of type 2 diabetes (T2D), in relation to alarming rise in the prevalence; challenges in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment; as well as the substantial impact of disease on longevity and quality of life, is a major concern in healthcare worldwide. Sulfonylureas (SUs) have been a cornerstone of T2D pharmacotherapy for over 60 years as oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs), while the newer generation SUs, such as gliclazide modified release (MR), are known to be associated with low risk of hypoglycemia in addition to the cardiovascular neutrality. This scoping review aimed to specifically address the current position of gliclazide MR among other SUs in the contemporary treatment paradigm for T2D and to provide a practical guidance document to assist clinicians in using gliclazide MR in real-life clinical practice. The main topics addressed in this paper include the role of early and sustained glycemic control and use of SUs in T2D management, the properties of gliclazide MR in relation to its effectiveness and safety, the use of gliclazide therapy in special populations, and the place of SUs as a class and gliclazide MR specifically in the current T2D treatment algorithm.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes control is poor globally and leads to burdensome microvascular and macrovascular complications. We aimed to assess post hoc between-group differences in sustained risk factor control and macrovascular and microvascular endpoints at 6.5 years in the Center for cArdiovascular Risk Reduction in South Asia (CARRS) randomized trial. METHODS AND FINDINGS This parallel group individual randomized clinical trial was performed at 10 outpatient diabetes clinics in India and Pakistan from January 2011 through September 2019. A total of 1,146 patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes (HbA1c ≥8% and systolic BP ≥140 mm Hg and/or LDL-cholesterol ≥130 mg/dL) were randomized to a multicomponent quality improvement (QI) strategy (trained nonphysician care coordinator to facilitate care for patients and clinical decision support system for physicians) or usual care. At 2.5 years, compared to usual care, those receiving the QI strategy were significantly more likely to achieve multiple risk factor control. Six clinics continued, while 4 clinics discontinued implementing the QI strategy for an additional 4-year follow-up (overall median 6.5 years follow-up). In this post hoc analysis, using intention-to-treat, we examined between-group differences in multiple risk factor control (HbA1c <7% plus BP <130/80 mm Hg and/or LDL-cholesterol <100 mg/dL) and first macrovascular endpoints (nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, death, revascularization [angioplasty or coronary artery bypass graft]), which were co-primary outcomes. We also examined secondary outcomes, namely, single risk factor control, first microvascular endpoints (retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy), and composite first macrovascular plus microvascular events (which also included amputation and all-cause mortality) by treatment group and whether QI strategy implementation was continued over 6.5 years. At 6.5 years, assessment data were available for 854 participants (74.5%; n = 417 [intervention]; n = 437 [usual care]). In terms of sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, participants in the intervention and usual care groups were similar and participants at sites that continued were no different to participants at sites that discontinued intervention implementation. Patients in the intervention arm were more likely to exhibit sustained multiple risk factor control than usual care (relative risk: 1.77; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.45, 2.16), p < 0.001. Cumulatively, there were 233 (40.5%) first microvascular and macrovascular events in intervention and 274 (48.0%) in usual care patients (absolute risk reduction: 7.5% [95% CI: -13.2, -1.7], p = 0.01; hazard ratio [HR] = 0.72 [95% CI: 0.61, 0.86]), p < 0.001. Patients in the intervention arm experienced lower incidence of first microvascular endpoints (HR = 0.68 [95% CI: 0.56, 0.83), p < 0.001, but there was no evidence of between-group differences in first macrovascular events. Beneficial effects on microvascular and composite vascular outcomes were observed in sites that continued, but not sites that discontinued the intervention. CONCLUSIONS In urban South Asian clinics, a multicomponent QI strategy led to sustained multiple risk factor control and between-group differences in microvascular, but not macrovascular, endpoints. Between-group reductions in vascular outcomes at 6.5 years were observed only at sites that continued the QI intervention, suggesting that practice change needs to be maintained for better population health of people with diabetes.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW What is new? Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality in type 2 diabetes (T2D) individuals. Of the major risk factors for CVD, less than 10% of T2D people meet the American Diabetes Association/American Heart Association recommended goals of therapy. The present review examines how much of the absolute cardiovascular (CV) risk in type 2 diabetes patients can be explained by major CV intervention trials. RECENT FINDINGS Multiple long-term cardiovascular (CV) intervention trials have examined the effect of specific target-directed therapies on the MACE endpoint. Only one prospective study, STENO-2, has employed a multifactorial intervention comparing intensified versus conventional treatment of modifiable risk factors in T2D patients, and demonstrated a 20% absolute CV risk reduction. If the absolute CV risk reduction in these trials is added to that in the only prospective multifactorial intervention trial (STENO-2), the unexplained CV risk is 44.1%. What are the clinical implications? Potential explanations for the unaccounted-for reduction in absolute CV risk in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients are discussed. HYPOTHESIS failure to take into account synergistic interactions between major cardiovascular risk factors is responsible for the unexplained CV risk in T2D patients. Simultaneous treatment of all major CV risk factors to recommended AHA/ADA guideline goals is required to achieve the maximum reduction in CV risk.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a prevalent disease that increases risk for vascular, renal, and neurologic complications. Prevention and treatment of T2D and its complications are paramount. Many advancements in T2D care have emerged over the past 5 years, including increased understanding of the importance of early intensive glycemic control, mental health, social determinants of health, healthy eating patterns, continuous glucose monitoring, and the benefits of some drugs for preventing cardiorenal disease. This review summarizes the evidence supporting T2D prevention and treatment, focusing on aspects that are commonly in the purview of primary care physicians.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We investigated the interrelationship between hyperglycemia and hypertension on cardiovascular mortality in the middle-aged and elderly people. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study that used data from the Hiroshima Study on Glucose Metabolism and Cardiovascular Diseases, we included 16,564 participants without cardiovascular disease (mean age: 65.8 years; 6179 normoglycemic people, 3017 people with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes, and 7368 people with prediabetes per the 75-g oral glucose tolerance test). Hypertension was defined as the use of antihypertensive medications and/or having a systolic/diastolic blood pressure of at least 140/90 mm Hg. RESULTS During a median follow-up period of 12.4 years, a total of 1513 cardiovascular death occurred. Cardiovascular death rates per 1000 participant-years were 4.01, 4.98, 8.33, 8.22, 8.81, and 11.1 among normotensive participants with normal glycemia, prediabetes, and diabetes and hypertensive participants with normal glycemia, prediabetes, and diabetes, respectively. Prediabetes was significantly associated with a high risk of cardiovascular mortality in normotensive individuals [hazard ratio: 1.24, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.02-1.50] but not in hypertensive individuals. Type 2 diabetes was associated with a high risk of cardiovascular mortality in both normotensive (hazard ratio: 1.94, 95% CI: 1.55-2.43) and hypertensive individuals (hazard ratio: 1.35, 95% CI: 1.13-1.62). Stratified analyses revealed no significant impact of type 2 diabetes on cardiovascular mortality in hypertensive individuals aged at least 65 years. CONCLUSION The effect of hyperglycemia on cardiovascular death differed with age and the presence or absence of hypertension, demonstrating the clinical importance of case-specific risk assessments.

Abstract
AIMS To assess diabetes-related complications, glycemic levels, and healthcare utilization 12 months after exposure to therapeutic inertia among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). METHODS This retrospective cohort study analyzed data from the OneFlorida Clinical Research Consortium (electronic health records from Florida practices/clinics). The cohort included adult patients (≥18 years old) with T2D who had an HbA1c≥7.0% (53 mmol/mol) recorded from January 1, 2014-September 30, 2019. Therapeutic inertia (exposed vs. not exposed) was evaluated during the six months following HbA1c≥7.0% (53 mmol/mol). The outcomes assessed during the 12-month follow-up period included diabetes-related complications (continuous Diabetes Complications and Severity Index (DCSI)), glycemic levels (continuous follow-up HbA1c lab), and healthcare utilization counts. We analyzed data using multivariable regression models, adjusting for covariates. RESULTS The cohort included 26,881 patients with T2D (58.94% White race, 49.72% female, and mean age of 58.82 (SD=13.09)). After adjusting for covariates, therapeutic inertia exposure was associated with lower DCSI (estimate=-0.14 (SE=0.03), p < 0.001), higher follow-up HbA1c (estimate=0.14 (SE=0.04), p < 0.001), and lower rates of ambulatory visits (rate ratio=0.79, 95% CI=0.75-0.82). CONCLUSIONS Findings communicate the clinical practice implications and public health implications for combating therapeutic inertia in diabetes care.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the most prevalent diseases encountered by the primary care physician on a daily basis. Complications associated with DM can include nephropathy, neuropathy, and retinopathy ("microvascular complications"), along with cardiovascular disease (CVD), which can include myocardial infarction (MI) and strokes ("macrovascular complications"). In the 1990s, landmark clinical trials demonstrated that intensive glycemic control can reduce the risk of developing microvascular complications, but reduction in macrovascular complications with intensive glycemic control was not clearly demonstrated. At this point, intensive glycemic control became the standard of care (SOC). In the 2000s, additional trials evaluating the effect of intensive glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) and established CVD, or risk factors for CVD, subsequently failed to identify a macrovascular benefit from intensive glycemic control, and one of the trials was terminated early because of an increase in the risk of mortality observed among patients assigned to receive intensive glycemic control. These results led to less strict glycemic targets being recommended in older patients, particularly those with established CVD. In 2007, everything changed after a report surfaced suggesting that rosiglitazone was associated with a significant increase in the risk of MI, as well as an increase in the risk of cardiovascular death that was of borderline significance. As a result, in 2008, the FDA mandated that all new diabetes medications must exclude an unacceptable level of risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) prior to drug approval, and thus undergo additional cardiovascular safety trials. Accordingly, through these trials, some of the newer agents, particularly sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA), were demonstrated to reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), independent of their effect on glycemic control. These findings subsequently led to further trials to evaluate the effects of some of these therapies on the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression, as well as adverse heart failure-related outcomes. SGLT-2 inhibitors have been demonstrated to reduce the risk of CKD progression, as well as a reduction in the risk of cardiovascular death or hospitalization secondary to heart failure in patients with both reduced ejection and preserved ejection fractions. A trial evaluating the effects of GLP-1RA on CKD outcomes is ongoing. The aim of this narrative review article, compiled by identifying relevant studies via the utilization of PubMed, is to provide a broad overview over the various clinical trials and analyses that have led to current diabetes management guidelines, and ultimately, help guide primary care physicians in selecting therapies that will not only improve glycemic control and reduce the risk of microvascular complications, but also reduce the risk of macrovascular disease in their patients with T2D.

Abstract
It remains unclear what the blood pressure target is and at which point in life it is appropriate for antihypertensive treatment. This study aimed to determine age-specific systolic blood pressure (SBP) targets. In a nationwide cohort of 296,470 hypertensive patients aged ≥75 years and a representative cohort of 259,028 hypertensives aged 45-74 years, multivariable-adjusted incidence rates of cardio-kidney composite events, overt dementia, and all-cause deaths were estimated across yearly-averaged on-treatment SBP levels according to age and the presence of 4 additional risk factors (diabetes, dyslipidemia, albuminuria, and smoking). For cardio-kidney events, on-treatment SBP showed positive curvilinear associations with higher risks at ≥135 mm Hg in most while an attenuated association in age ≥85 years. For overt dementia, SBP showed flat or slightly inverted associations in elderly while a small positive association in age 45-64 years. For all-cause mortality, SBP showed J-shaped associations having right-shifting tendency with age. For risk categories with ≥2, 1, and no additional risk factors, the respective mortality rate differences between SBP 145-154 mm Hg and 125-134 mm Hg were 4.6 (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.0 to 7.3), 1.2 (95% CI, -0.3 to 2.8), and 0.1 (95% CI, -1.4 to 1.8) per 1000 person-years in age ≥75 years and 2.9 (95% CI, 1.7 to 4.3), 0.7 (95% CI, 0.1 to 1.4), and 0.9 (95% CI, 0.2 to 1.6) per 1000 person-years in age 45-74 years. In conclusion, the BP target can be relaxed in very old patients and in elderly patients with few risk factors. However, strict BP control may be needed in patients with multiple risk factors even in those with advanced age.

Abstract
Background: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is one of the most serious microvascular complications of diabetes, with the incidence rate increasing yearly, which is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage kidney disease. Abelmoschus Manihot capsule, as a proprietary Chinese patent medicine, is widely used for treating CKD in China. Currently, the combination of Abelmoschus Manihot (AM) capsule and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitor (RASI) has gained popularity as a treatment option for DKD, with more and more randomized control trials (RCTs) in progress. However, the high-quality clinical evidence supporting its application in DKD is still insufficient. Aim of the study: To comprehensively and systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of AM capsule combined with RASI in the treatment of DKD. Materials and methods: English and Chinese databases such as Pubmed, Cochrane Library, Embase, CNKI, SinoMed, WF, and VIP were searched to collect the RCTs of AM capsule in treatment of DKD. Then Two investigators independently reviewed and extracted data from the RCTs which met the inclusion criteria. The quality of the data was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias assessment tool, and meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software. Results: 32 RCTs with a total of 2,881 DKD patients (1,442 in the treatment group and 1,439 in the control group) were included. The study results showed that AM capsule combined with RASI could be more effective in decreasing 24h-UTP [MD = -442.05, 95% CI (-609.72, -274.38), p < 0.00001], UAER [MD = -30.53, 95% CI (-39.10, -21.96), p < 0.00001], UACR [MD = -157.93, 95% CI (-288.60, -27.25), p < 0.00001], Scr [MD = -6.80, 95% CI (-9.85, -3.74), p < 0.0001], and BUN [MD = -0.59, 95% CI (-1.07, -0.12), p = 0.01], compared to using RASI alone. According to the subgroup analyses, the combination of AM and ARB seems to be more effective in reducing UAER than the combination of ACEI, and the addition of AM may achieve a more significant clinical effect on decreasing Scr for DKD patients with 24h-UTP>2 g or Scr>110-133 μmol/L and >133 μmol/L. Furthermore, no additional adverse reactions were observed in the combination group [OR = 1.06; 95%CI: (0.66, 1.69), p = 0.82]. Conclusion: Combining AM with RASI may be a superior strategy for DKD treatment compared to RASI monotherapy. However, due to significant heterogeneity, the results should be interpreted with great caution, and more high-quality RCTs with multi-centers, different stages of DKD, large sample sizes, and long follow-up periods are still needed to improve the evidence quality of AM for DKD in the future.

Abstract
Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease affecting millions worldwide. It is characterized by a lack of insulin production or impaired insulin function, leading to elevated blood glucose levels. Conventional treatment methods for diabetes management typically include lifestyle changes and medications. However, alternative therapies have gained attention in recent years, including traditional medicine containing bioactive compounds, supplements like vitamin D and Omega-3 fatty acids, aromatherapy, and homeopathy. Diabetic complications are common in patients with uncontrolled diabetes and can lead to serious health problems, including diabetic retinopathy, impaired wound healing, kidney disease, nerve damage, and cardiovascular disease. Alternative remedies, such as traditional medicine containing bioactive compounds, supplements, and aromatherapy, have been studied for their potential benefits in managing these complications. Traditional medicines like bitter melon, cinnamon, and fenugreek have been shown to have anti-diabetic effects due to their bioactive compounds. Similarly, supplements like vitamin D and Omega-3 fatty acids have been found to improve glycemic control in patients with diabetes. Aromatherapy, which involves the use of essential oils, has also been explored for its potential benefits in diabetes management. Homeopathy, which uses highly diluted substances to stimulate the body's natural healing abilities, has been used to treat diabetes-related symptoms like neuropathy and wounds. Personalized care is essential in natural diabetes management because each person's body and health needs are unique. A holistic approach that addresses the individual's physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being is essential. As research in this field continues to expand, a more comprehensive understanding of diabetes management will lead to improved outcomes for those living with this condition.

Abstract
More than one-third of people with diabetes develop diabetic kidney disease (DKD), which substantially increases risks of kidney failure, cardiovascular disease (CVD), hypoglycemia, death, and other adverse health outcomes. A multifaceted approach incorporating self-management education, lifestyle optimization, pharmacological intervention, CVD prevention, and psychosocial support is crucial to mitigate the onset and progression of DKD. The American Diabetes Association convened an expert panel to develop the DKD Prevention Model presented herein. This model addresses prevention and treatment, including screening guidelines, diagnostic tools, and management approaches; comprehensive, holistic interventions; well-defined roles for interdisciplinary health care professionals; community engagement; and future directions for research and policy.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) prevention is an urgent public health need with national and global implications. Stage A HF patients do not show HF symptoms or structural heart disease but are at risk of HF development. There are no unique recommendations on detecting Stage A patients. Patients in Stage A are heterogeneous; many patients have different combinations of risk factors and, therefore, have markedly different absolute risks for HF. Comprehensive strategies to prevent HF at Stage A include intensive blood pressure lowering, adequate glycemic and lipid management, and heart-healthy behaviors (adopting Life's Essential 8). First and foremost, it is imperative to improve public awareness of HF risk factors and implement healthy lifestyle choices very early. In addition, recognize the HF risk-enhancing factors, which are nontraditional cardiovascular (CV) risk factors that identify individuals at high risk for HF (genetic susceptibility for HF, atrial fibrillation, chronic kidney disease, chronic liver disease, chronic inflammatory disease, sleep-disordered breathing, adverse pregnancy outcomes, radiation therapy, a history of cardiotoxic chemotherapy exposure, and COVID-19). Early use of biomarkers, imaging markers, and echocardiography (noninvasive measures of subclinical systolic and diastolic dysfunction) may enhance risk prediction among individuals without established CV disease and prevent chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathy. Efforts are needed to address social determinants of HF risk for primordial HF prevention.Central illustrationPolicies developed by organizations such as the American Heart Association, American College of Cardiology, and the American Diabetes Association to reduce CV disease events must go beyond secondary prevention and encompass primordial and primary prevention.

Abstract
The 'legacy effect' refers to the long-term benefits of intensive therapy that are observed long after the end of clinical trials and trial interventions in chronic diseases such as diabetes, hyperlipidaemia and hypertension. It emphasizes the importance of intensive treatment to prevent long-term complications and mortality. In chronic kidney disease (CKD), the legacy effect is evident in various studies. Long-term nephroprotection in diabetes is well documented in major studies in the early stages of diabetes, such as Diabetes Control and Complications Trial-Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (DCCT-EDIC), UK Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) and Intensified Multifactorial Intervention in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes and Microalbuminuria (STENO-2). These studies highlight the importance of intensive glycaemic control in reducing microvascular complications, including nephropathy, in patients with recently diagnosed type 1 and type 2 diabetes. However, the legacy effect is less evident in patients with long-term, established diabetes. In chronic glomerulonephritis, studies on immunoglobulin A nephropathy showed that early immunosuppressive treatment could have long-term beneficial effects on kidney function in children and adults with CKD. The Frequent Hemodialysis (FH) and the EXerCise Introduction To Enhance Performance in Dialysis (EXCITE) trials indicated that frequent haemodialysis and a personalized walking exercise program could improve clinical outcomes and reduce the long-term risk of death and hospitalization. The legacy effect concept underscores the importance of intensive intervention in chronic diseases, including CKD. This concept has significant implications for public health and warrants in-depth basic and clinical research to be better understood and exploited in clinical practice. However, its limitations should be considered when interpreting long-term observational data collected after a clinical trial. Appropriate study designs are necessary to investigate an unbiased legacy effect.

Abstract
Given its increasing incidence and detrimental effects on life expectancy and quality of life, chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant worldwide health concern. This review article provides a complete summary of current information on the diagnosis and management of CKD, focusing on recent advances and innovative approaches. The article discusses the most current findings on CKD risk assessment, emphasizing the need for early diagnosis utilizing better biomarkers and predictive models. A rigorous examination of diagnostic tools such as albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) in urine and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) highlights their importance in determining CKD phases and etiologies. In terms of therapy, the study explores evidence-based techniques to reduce the development of CKD, such as enhanced blood pressure control, glycemic management in diabetic patients, dietary changes, and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) blocking. Novel therapeutic approaches, including antifibrotic and precision medicine, are evaluated regarding their potential to revolutionize CKD treatment. The study also underlines the need for multidisciplinary therapy and patient education to achieve the best possible CKD patient outcomes. It also highlights the financial and social effects of CKD, highlighting the importance of early treatment to lower medical expenses and enhance the patient's standard of living. Finally, this review article provides a comprehensive update on CKD diagnosis and treatment, highlighting present successes alongside future potential. It is a valuable resource for healthcare professionals, academics, and policymakers who want to improve CKD treatment methods and patient outcomes.

Abstract
Cardiorenal syndrome is a condition where is a bidirectional and mutually detrimental relationship between the heart and kidneys. The mechanisms underlying cardiorenal syndrome are multifactorial and complex. Patients with kidney disease exhibit increased cardiovascular risk, presenting as coronary and peripheral artery disease, structural heart disease, arrhythmias, heart failure, and sudden cardiac death, largely occurring because of a systemic proinflammatory state, causing myocardial and vascular remodeling, manifesting as atherosclerotic lesions, vascular and valvular calcification, and myocardial fibrosis, particularly among those with advanced disease. This review summarizes the current understanding and clinical implications of kidney disease in patients with cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a complication of chronic hyperglycemia associated with diabetes mellitus (DM). Several studies have demonstrated the positive impact of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors on kidney outcomes. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effects of dapagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, on kidney outcomes in Saudi patients with type 2 DM. MATERIALS AND METHODS Study included all Saudi patients with type 2 DM who visited our center from August 1, 2021, to July 31, 2022, and had been on dapagliflozin for at least 3 months. Data was abstracted through chart review for all patients included in the study. Paired t-test or Wilcoxon signed-rank test were used to compare the results before and after treatment for continuous variables and the McNemar test was used to compare the results for categorical data. RESULTS Study included 184 Saudi patients with type 2 diabetes with a mean age of 61.32 years (SD=9.37). Dapagliflozin 10 mg/day significantly reduced hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) from a mean (SD) of 9.00 to 8.40 (P < 0.001). Among a subgroup of patients with significant proteinuria (n = 83), dapagliflozin significantly reduced ACR from a median of 93.1 to 64.9 mg/g (P = 0.001). Following treatment, the estimated glomerular filtration rate improved from a mean of 69.83 to 71.68 mL/min and the mean arterial pressure (MAP) fell from 90.03 to 89.06 mmHg, both were not statistically significant. Despite a statistically insignificant increase in the episodes of urinary tract infections (UTIs), the hospitalization rate declined. No episodes of amputations or ketoacidosis occurred during the study period. CONCLUSION SGLT2 inhibitors had beneficial effects among Saudi patients with type 2 diabetes by improving diabetic control and lowering proteinuria. Dapagliflozin did not result in significant harm, including UTIs, amputations, and ketoacidosis.

The legacy effect of hyperglycemia and early use of SGLT-2 inhibitors: a cohort study with newly-diagnosed people with type 2 diabetes. THE LANCET REGIONAL HEALTH. EUROPE 2023; 31:100666. [PMID: 37547276 PMCID: PMC10398589 DOI: 10.1016/j.lanepe.2023.100666] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2023] [Revised: 05/16/2023] [Accepted: 05/24/2023] [Indexed: 08/08/2023]
Abstract
Background A delay in reaching HbA1c targets in patients with newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with an increased long-term risk of developing cardiovascular diseases (CVD), a phenomenon referred to as legacy effect. Whether an early introduction of glucose-lowering drugs with proven benefit on CVD can attenuate this phenomenon is unknown. Methods Using data derived from a large Italian clinical registry, i.e. the AMD Annals, we identified 251,339 subjects with newly-diagnosed T2D and without CVD at baseline. Through Cox regressions adjusted for multiple risk factors, we examined the association between having a mean HbA1c between 7.1 and 8% or >8%, compared with ≤7%, for various periods of early exposure (0-1, 0-2, 0-3 years) and the development of later (mean subsequent follow-up 4.6 ± 2.9 years) CVD, evaluated as a composite of myocardial infarction, stroke, coronary or peripheral revascularization, and coronary or peripheral bypass. We performed this analysis in the overall cohort and then splitting the population in two groups of patients: those that introduced sodium-glucose transport protein 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) during the exposure phase and those not treated with these drugs. Findings Considering the whole cohort, subjects with both a mean HbA1c between 7.1 and 8% and >8%, compared with patients attaining a mean HbA1c ≤ 7%, showed an increased risk of developing the outcome in all the three early exposure periods assessed, with the highest risk observed in patients with mean HbA1c > 8% in the 3 years exposure period (hazard ratio [HR]1.33; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.063-1.365). The introduction of SGLT-2i during the exposure periods of 0-1 and 0-2 years eliminated the association between poor glycemic control and the outcome (p for interaction 0.006 and 0.003, respectively, vs. patients with the same degree of glycemic control but not treated with these drugs). Interpretation Among patients with newly diagnosed T2D and free of CVD at baseline, a poor glycemic control in the first three years after diagnosis is associated with an increased subsequent risk of CVD. This association is no longer evident when SGLT-2i are introduced in the first two years, suggesting that these drugs attenuate the phenomenon of legacy effect. An early treatment with these drugs might thus promote a long-lasting benefit in patients not attaining proper glycemic control after T2D diagnosis.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the primary cause of morbidity and mortality in individuals diagnosed with diabetes mellitus. This narrative review offers a comprehensive examination of the complex correlation between diabetes and cardiovascular complications. The objective of this review is to analyze the most recent evidence on preventive measures and treatment options for mitigating cardiovascular risk in patients with diabetes, by synthesizing existing literature. Insulin resistance plays a crucial role in connecting diabetes and CVD, leading to the development of dyslipidemia and atherogenesis. As a result, the risk of cardiovascular events in individuals with diabetes is significantly elevated. Moreover, the presence of hyperglycemia-induced oxidative stress and inflammation serves to intensify endothelial dysfunction and vascular damage, thereby exacerbating the risk of cardiovascular complications. The interaction between diabetes and CVD frequently speeds up the development of atherosclerotic plaque, making the plaque more prone to rupture. This can lead to severe cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction and stroke. It is crucial to comprehend the intricate relationship between diabetes and CVD in order to formulate effective strategies aimed at enhancing patient outcomes and mitigating the burden associated with these interconnected chronic conditions. Healthcare practitioners can enhance the quality of life and reduce mortality rates associated with CVD in diabetic patients by thoroughly examining evidence-based preventive measures and treatment options. This approach allows them to make informed decisions when managing cardiovascular risk. In summary, this narrative review provides a valuable resource for healthcare professionals and researchers, presenting a comprehensive analysis of the complex relationship between diabetes and CVD. By providing a comprehensive analysis of the latest evidence and elucidating the underlying mechanisms, this review seeks to establish a foundation for the development of innovative strategies in diabetes management. These strategies have the potential to significantly improve cardiovascular outcomes and enhance overall patient care.

Abstract
Hypoglycemia is common in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes (T1D, T2D), treated with insulin or sulfonylureas, and has multiple short- and long-term clinical implications. Whether acute or recurrent, hypoglycemia significantly affects the cardiovascular system with the potential to cause cardiovascular dysfunction. Several pathophysiological mechanisms have been proposed linking hypoglycemia to increased cardiovascular risk, including hemodynamic changes, myocardial ischemia, abnormal cardiac repolarization, cardiac arrhythmias, prothrombotic and proinflammatory effects, and induction of oxidative stress. Hypoglycemia-induced changes can promote the development of endothelial dysfunction, which is an early marker of atherosclerosis. Although data from clinical trials and real-world studies suggest an association between hypoglycemia and cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes, it remains uncertain whether this association is causal. New therapeutic agents for patients with T2D do not cause hypoglycemia and have cardioprotective benefits, whereas increasing the use of new technologies, such as continuous glucose monitoring devices and insulin pumps, has the potential to reduce hypoglycemia and its adverse cardiovascular outcomes in patients with T1D.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effects of intensive treatment to lower blood pressure (BP) on the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) among patients aged over 60 years. STUDY DESIGN We extracted individual-level data of participants aged over 60 years from the SPRINT study and ACCORD study first, and then conducted a meta-analysis of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) and other adverse events (hypotension and syncope) and renal outcomes across the SPRINT, STEP, ACCORD BP trials, which included 18,806 participants over 60 years of age. Participants were randomized to receive standard BP treatment or intensive BP treatment. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Hazard ratios (HRs) were used to calculate summary statistics. RESULTS In this meta-analysis, intensive treatment did not decrease either the all-cause mortality rate (HR: 0.98; 95 % confidence interval [CI]: 0.76-1.26; p = 0.87) or the cardiovascular mortality rate (HR: 0.77; 95 % CI: 0.54-1.08; p = 0.13). The incidence of MACEs (HR: 0.83; 95 % CI: 0.74-0.94; p = 0.003) and stroke (HR: 0.70; 95 % CI: 0.56-0.88; p = 0.002) was reduced, however. Intensive treatment had no effect on acute coronary syndrome (HR: 0.87; 95 % CI: 0.69-1.10; p = 0.24) or heart failure (HR: 0.70; 95 % CI: 0.40-1.22; p = 0.21). Intensive treatment increased the risk of hypotension (HR: 1.46; 95 % CI: 1.12-1.91; p = 0.006) and syncope (HR: 1.43; 95 % CI: 1.06-1.93; p = 0.02). Intensive treatment did not increase the risk of impaired kidney function among patients with chronic kidney disease (HR: 0.98; 95 % CI: 0.41-2.34; p = 0.96) or without chronic kidney disease (HR: 1.77; 95 % CI: 0.48-6.56; p = 0.40) at baseline. CONCLUSIONS Intensive BP goals reduced the incidence of MACEs and increased the risk of other adverse events without significant changes in mortality or renal outcome.

Abstract
Diabetes is a highly prevalent disease associated with considerable cardiovascular end organ damage and mortality. Despite significant changes to the management of acute myocardial infarction over the last two decades, people with diabetes remain at risk of complications and mortality following a myocardial infarct for a multitude of reasons, including increased coronary atherosclerosis, associated coronary microvascular dysfunction, and diabetic cardiomyopathy. Dysglycaemia causes significant endothelial dysfunction and upregulation of inflammation within the vasculature and epigenetic changes mean that these deleterious effects may persist despite subsequent efforts to tighten glycaemic control. Whilst clinical guidelines advocate for the avoidance of both hyper- and hypoglcyaemia in the peri-infarct period, the evidence base is lacking, and currently there is no consensus on the benefits of glycaemic control beyond this period. Glycaemic variability contributes to the glycaemic milieu and may have prognostic importance following myocardial infarct. The use of continuous glucose monitoring means that glucose trends and parameters can now be captured and interrogated, and its use, along with newer medicines, may provide novel opportunities for intervention after myocardial infarction in people with diabetes.

Abstract
AIMS To elucidate the long-term cardiovascular benefit of lowering postprandial hyperglycemia (PPG) in early-stage T2DM patients. METHODS This 10-year post-trial follow-up study included 243 patients from the DIANA (DIAbetes and diffuse coronary Narrowing) study, a multi-center randomized controlled trial which compared the efficacy of one-year life-style and pharmacological (voglibose/nateglinide) intervention lowering PPG on coronary atherosclerosis in 302 early-stage T2DM subjects [impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or newly-diagnosed T2DM] (UMIN-CTRID#0000107). MACE (all-cause death, non-fatal MI or unplanned coronary revascularization) were compared in (1) three assigned therapies (life-style intervention/vogliose/nateglinide) and (2) patients with and without improvement of PPG (reversion from IGT to NGT or from DM to IGT/NGT on 75 g oral glucose tolerance test). RESULTS During the 10-year post-trial observational period, voglibose (HR = 1.07, 95%CI: 0.69-1.66, p = 0.74) or nateglinide (HR = 0.99, 95%CI: 0.64-1.55, p = 0.99) did not reduce MACE. Similarly, achieving the improvement of PPG was not associated with a reduction of MACE (HR = 0.78, 95%CI: 0.51-1.18, p = 0.25). However, in IGT subjects (n = 143), this glycemic management significantly reduced the occurrence of MACE (HR = 0.44, 95%CI: 0.23-0.86, p = 0.01), especially unplanned coronary revascularization (HR = 0.46, 95%CI: 0.22-0.94, p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS The early improvement of PPG significantly reduced MACE and unplanned coronary revascularization in IGT subjects during the post-trial 10-year period.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a serious complication of diabetes, affecting millions of people worldwide. Inflammation and oxidative stress are key contributors to the development and progression of DKD, making them potential targets for therapeutic interventions. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have emerged as a promising class of drugs, with evidence demonstrating that they can improve renal outcomes in people with diabetes. However, the exact mechanism by which SGLT2i exert their renoprotective effects is not yet fully understood. This study demonstrates that dapagliflozin treatment attenuates renal injury observed in type 2 diabetic mice. This is evidenced by the reduction in renal hypertrophy and proteinuria. Furthermore, dapagliflozin decreases tubulointerstitial fibrosis and glomerulosclerosis by mitigating the generation of reactive oxygen species and inflammation, which are activated through the production of CYP4A-induced 20-HETE. Our findings provide insights onto a novel mechanistic pathway by which SGLT2i exerts their renoprotective effects. Overall, and to our knowledge, the study provides critical insights into the pathophysiology of DKD and represents an important step towards improving outcomes for people with this devastating condition.

Abstract
Despite the availability of new treatment classes, glycaemic control in patients with diabetes remains suboptimal globally. The latter is associated with high risk of premature mortality related to diabetes and its microvascular and macrovascular complications. Practice guidelines typically focus on glycated haemoglobin < 7.0% as a therapeutic goal in type 2 diabetes (T2D). Reducing glycated haemoglobin has been proven to reduce the risk of these complications while early attainment of glycaemic goal can have a legacy effect in later life. Both glucocentric and cardiorenal-centric treatment strategies have complementary effects in reducing the trajectory of cardiorenal diseases. In real-word settings, implementation of practice guidelines developed in the USA and Europe may not be applicable to regions such as Asia, where differences in epidemiology, patient phenotypes, cultures, resource availability, and treatment affordability are important considerations. In the present review, we discuss the need to use a pragmatic, albeit evidence-based approach, to combine glucocentric and cardiorenal risk reduction strategies to improve the outcomes in patients with T2D, with particular relevance to Asia Pacific.

Abstract
Adequate blood glucose and blood pressure control is paramount for the prevention of microvascular and macrovascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). This review article summarises the important advances in blood glucose and blood pressure lowering from the last three decades, with a focus on the evidence from large scale randomized clinical trials and meta-analyses. This paper focuses on evidence supporting specific blood glucose and blood pressure targets, and the importance of long-term sustained risk factor control. Novel therapies including the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RA) and the sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have revolutionized the treatment of type 2 diabetes and highlighted the importance of approaches that deliver benefits beyond glucose or blood pressure lowering. This article provides an overview of contemporary management of T2D with an emphasis on tailoring treatment plans to the individual.

Abstract
Albuminuria is a prognostic marker of worsening renal outcomes in people with hypertension and type 2 diabetes. High home systolic blood pressure is associated with the development of diabetic nephropathy. We assessed the impact of chronic high home blood pressure on diabetic nephropathy progression 10 years after study entry. The participants measured their blood pressure three times in the morning for 14 days at study entry and 10 years after study entry. A retrospective cohort of 165 people with type 2 diabetes at a single hospital was classified into four groups (good control maintenance, improvement, deterioration, and continuous high blood pressure groups) according to a morning home systolic blood pressure ≥125 mmHg at study entry and 10 years after study entry. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the association between home blood pressure control and the progression of diabetic nephropathy. After 10 years of entry, the status of nephropathy improved for 5.5% of the participants, remained unchanged for 72.1%, and progressed for 22.4%. The odds ratio of the continuous high blood pressure group versus that of the good control maintenance group for the progression of diabetic nephropathy was 10.41 (95% CI, 1.26-86.15). After adjusting for the introduction of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors during the follow-up period, there was no significant difference in the odds ratio of worsening nephropathy between these groups. The deterioration and improvement groups did not have significant diabetic nephropathy progression compared to the good control maintenance group. Chronic high home blood pressure was associated with the progression of diabetic nephropathy, and RAAS inhibitors could attenuate the negative effect. We demonstrated that chronic home blood pressure was associated with the progression of diabetic nephropathy.

Benefit of treatment based on indapamide mostly combined with perindopril on mortality and cardiovascular outcomes: a pooled analysis of four trials. J Hypertens 2023; 41:508-515. [PMID: 36633311 PMCID: PMC9894155 DOI: 10.1097/hjh.0000000000003368] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2022] [Revised: 11/21/2022] [Accepted: 12/07/2022] [Indexed: 01/13/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the reduction in all-cause death and cardiovascular outcomes associated with the administration of the thiazide-like diuretic indapamide monotherapy or in combination with perindopril as a blood pressure lowering drug in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). METHOD Aggregate data from four published RCTs conducted versus matching placebo were pooled: PATS, a 2-year study (indapamide), and PROGRESS, a 4-year study (indapamide and perindopril), both in patients with a history of stroke or transient ischemic attack; ADVANCE, a 4-year study in patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular risk factor (single-pill combination perindopril/indapamide) and HYVET, a 2-year study in very elderly hypertensive individuals (indapamide and an option of perindopril). The pooled effect (fixed and random) estimate (hazard ratio) was reported with corresponding 95% confidence intervals and P values. Treatment discontinuations were also analysed to assess the net benefit of the treatment. RESULTS The population involved 24 194 patients (active: 12 113, placebo: 12 081). The fixed-effects meta-analysis of the three mortality endpoints found low statistical heterogeneity ( I2 = 0). Statistically significant risk reductions in the indapamide with or without perindopril-treated patients as compared to placebo were observed for all-cause death (-15%), cardiovascular death (-21%), fatal stroke (-36%) and all strokes (-27%). Other cardiovascular outcomes were improved (risk reduction, 22 to 36%). As expected, discontinuation rates for safety (two studies) were higher in the active group (6.4 vs. 3.9%), while they were similar when discontinuation for any reason is concerned (18.4 vs. 18.0%). CONCLUSION Across medium to high cardiovascular risk population, long-term indapamide, mostly combined with perindopril-based treatment, provided evidence of benefit on mortality and morbidity.

Abstract
AIM To assess the efficacy and safety of sotagliflozin, a dual inhibitor of sodium-glucose co-transporters 1 and 2, in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and stage 3 chronic kidney disease (CKD3). MATERIALS AND METHODS This phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled trial evaluated sotagliflozin 200 and 400 mg in 787 patients with T2D and an estimated glomerular filtration rate of 30-59 ml/min/1.73m2 . The primary objective was superiority of week 26 HbA1c reductions with sotagliflozin versus placebo. Secondary endpoints included changes in other glycaemic and renal endpoints overall and in CKD3 subgroups. RESULTS At 26 weeks, the placebo-adjusted mean change in HbA1c (from a baseline of 8.3% ± 1.0%) was -0.1% (95% CI: -0.2% to 0.05%; P = .2095) and -0.2% (-0.4% to -0.09%; P = .0021) in the sotagliflozin 200 and 400 mg groups, respectively. Significant reductions in fasting plasma glucose and body weight, but not systolic blood pressure, were observed. Among patients with at least A2 albuminuria at week 26, the urine albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR) was reduced with both sotagliflozin doses relative to placebo. At week 52, UACR was reduced with sotagliflozin 200 mg in the CKD3B group. Adverse events (AEs), including serious AEs, were similar between the treatment groups. CONCLUSIONS After 26 weeks, HbA1c was significantly reduced with sotagliflozin 400 but not 200 mg compared with placebo in this CKD3 cohort. UACR in patients with at least A2 albuminuria was reduced with each of the two doses at 26 weeks, but changes were not sustained at week 52. The safety findings were consistent with previous reports (NCT03242252).

Abstract
Vascular calcification and aging often increase morbidity and mortality in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM); however, the underlying mechanisms are still unknown. In the present study, we found that Bcl-2 modifying factor (BMF) and BMF antisense RNA 1 (BMF-AS1) were significantly increased in high glucose-induced calcified and senescent vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) as well as artery tissues from diabetic mice. Inhibition of BMF-AS1 and BMF reduced the calcification and senescence of VSMCs, whereas overexpression of BMF-AS1 and BMF generates the opposite results. Mechanistic analysis showed that BMF-AS1 interacted with BMF directly and up-regulated BMF at both mRNA and protein levels, but BMF did not affect the expression of BMF-AS1. Moreover, knocking down BMF-AS1 and BMF suppressed the calcification and senescence of VSMCs, and BMF knockout (BMF-/-) diabetic mice presented less vascular calcification and aging compared with wild type diabetic mice. In addition, higher coronary artery calcification scores (CACs) and increased plasma BMF concentration were found in patients with DM, and there was a positive correlation between CACs and plasma BMF concentration. Thus, BMF-AS1/BMF plays a key role in promoting high glucose-induced vascular calcification and aging both in vitro and in vivo. BMF-AS1 and BMF represent potential therapeutic targets in diabetic vascular calcification and aging.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease associated with Type 2 diabetes is linked to significant increase in morbidity, reduced quality of life, and early death. Current guidelines recommend targets for the management of hyperglycemia, hypertension, and dyslipidemia but there remains a residual risk of chronic kidney disease progression and adverse cardiovascular outcomes in patients with Type 2 diabetes. The 2022 consensus report from the American Diabetes Association and Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes support the use of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors and nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists to improve kidney and cardiovascular outcomes. Coordination between those working in the primary care setting and those in endocrinology and nephrology clinics may optimize the prevention of chronic kidney disease progression in patients with Type 2 diabetes. Nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and primary care physicians play an important role in making timely patient referrals to kidney specialists. This article explores the use of novel therapies capable of reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease progression beyond what can be achieved with control of blood glucose, blood pressure, and lipid levels. It also discusses the importance of monitoring at-risk patients to facilitate early diagnosis and initiation of effective kidney-protective therapy.[Media: see text][Figure: see text].

Abstract
AIMS Observational studies indicate U-shaped associations of blood pressure (BP) and incident dementia in older age, but randomized controlled trials of BP-lowering treatment show mixed results on this outcome in hypertensive patients. A pooled individual participant data analysis of five seminal randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trials was undertaken to better define the effects of BP-lowering treatment for the prevention of dementia. METHODS AND RESULTS Multilevel logistic regression was used to evaluate the treatment effect on incident dementia. Effect modification was assessed for key population characteristics including age, baseline systolic BP, sex, and presence of prior stroke. Mediation analysis was used to quantify the contribution of trial medication and changes in systolic and diastolic BP on risk of dementia. The total sample included 28 008 individuals recruited from 20 countries. After a median follow-up of 4.3 years, there were 861 cases of incident dementia. Multilevel logistic regression reported an adjusted odds ratio 0.87 (95% confidence interval: 0.75, 0.99) in favour of antihypertensive treatment reducing risk of incident dementia with a mean BP lowering of 10/4 mmHg. Further multinomial regression taking account of death as a competing risk found similar results. There was no effect modification by age or sex. Mediation analysis confirmed the greater fall in BP in the actively treated group was associated with a greater reduction in dementia risk. CONCLUSION The first single-stage individual patient data meta-analysis from randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trials provides evidence to support benefits of antihypertensive treatment in late-mid and later life to lower the risk of dementia. Questions remain as to the potential for additional BP lowering in those with already well-controlled hypertension and of antihypertensive treatment commenced earlier in the life-course to reduce the long-term risk of dementia. CLASSIFICATION OF EVIDENCE Class I evidence in favour of antihypertensive treatment reducing risk of incident dementia compared with placebo.

Combined evaluation of arterial stiffness, glycemic control and hypertension for macrovascular complications in type 2 diabetes. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2022; 21:262. [PMID: 36443820 PMCID: PMC9706858 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-022-01696-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2022] [Accepted: 11/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Arterial stiffness, glycemic control and blood pressure are risk factors of macrovascular complications in type 2 diabetes. This study aimed to investigate the combined association of arterial stiffness, glycemic control and hypertension status with the occurrence of diabetic macrovascular complication. METHODS A total of 1870 patients of diabetes were enrolled from Beijing Health Management Cohort between 2008 and 2018 as baseline, and then followed for macrovascular complication onset. We proposed a composite risk score (0-4) by arterial stiffness severity, pool glycemic control and hypertension status. Cox model was used to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS The mean age (SD) of this population was 59.90 (12.29) years. During a median follow-up of 4.0 years, 359 (19.2%) patients developed macrovascular complication. Compared to the normal arterial stiffness and good glycemic control group, patients with severe arterial stiffness and pool glycemic control had the highest risk of macrovascular complications (HR: 2.73; 95% CI: 1.42-5.25). Similarly, those of severe arterial stiffness and hypertension had the highest risk (HR: 2.69; 95% CI: 1.61-4.50). Patients of the composite score > 2 had a significantly increased risk of macrovascular complication. CONCLUSION This study suggested the clinical importance of combined evaluation of arterial stiffness, glycemic control and hypertension status for the risk stratification and management of macrovascular complication of type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Abstract
Arterial hypertension is a leading cause of death globally. Due to ageing, the rising incidence of obesity, and socioeconomic and environmental changes, its incidence increases worldwide. Hypertension commonly coexists with Type 2 diabetes, obesity, dyslipidaemia, sedentary lifestyle, and smoking leading to risk amplification. Blood pressure lowering by lifestyle modifications and antihypertensive drugs reduce cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality. Guidelines recommend dual- and triple-combination therapies using renin–angiotensin system blockers, calcium channel blockers, and/or a diuretic. Comorbidities often complicate management. New drugs such as angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors, sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, and non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists improve CV and renal outcomes. Catheter-based renal denervation could offer an alternative treatment option in comorbid hypertension associated with increased sympathetic nerve activity. This review summarises the latest clinical evidence for managing hypertension with CV comorbidities.

Abstract
Progress in the treatment of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) has been modest since the early trials on renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASis). Although sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) have revolutionized the management of DKD by lowering proteinuria and protecting organs, other novel treatment approaches with good evidence and efficacy that can be used in conjunction with a RAASi or SGLT2i in managing DKD have emerged in the past few years. This review discusses the evidence for glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, selective mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, and selective endothelin A receptor antagonist, emerging treatment options for DKD beyond SGLT2 inhibition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We evaluated patients visiting a tertiary university hospital due to a diagnosis of diabetes with a goal of achieving blood glucose control and evaluated blood glucose persistence over 7 years according to the change in blood glucose evident at 3 months after the first visit. METHODS Patients treated from 2009 to 2013 were categorized into four groups according to the change in HbA1c levels during the first 3 months of follow-up (Best_group, ≥ 1.6% decrease; Better_group, 0.5-1.5% decrease; Neutral_group, maintained at -0.4% to +0.4%; Worse_group, ≥ 0.5% increase). Each patient's blood glucose control status was then monitored for 7 years. The incidence of stroke and acute coronary syndrome during this period was confirmed. RESULTS Overall, 9,776 patients were included. HbA1c values were lower in the Best_group than in the other groups at all time points (all P < 0.001). The rate of reaching targets of < 6.5% or < 7.0% HbA1c decreased over time; the rate at which the estimated glomerular filtration rate decreased to < 30 or < 60 mL/min/1.73m² increased over time (all trends, P < 0.01). CONCLUSION Blood glucose control status in the first 3 months after initiating hospital care enabled estimation of the patient's glycemic control status for the next 7 years. In cases with poor initial blood glucose control, a new or more active method of blood glucose control should be sought.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Standard measures of blood pressure (BP) do not account for both the magnitude and duration of exposure to elevated BP over time. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to assess the association between cumulative systolic blood pressure (SBP) load and risk of cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes. METHODS A post hoc analysis of patients with type 2 diabetes followed by the ADVANCE-ON (Action in Diabetes and Vascular Disease: Preterax and Diamicron Modified Release Controlled Evaluation - Observational Study). Cumulative SBP load was defined as the area under curve for SBP values ≥130 mm Hg divided by the area under curve for all measured SBP values over a 24-month exposure period. HRs for the association between cumulative SBP load with major cardiovascular events and death were estimated using Cox models. RESULTS Over a median 7.6 years of follow-up, 1,469 major cardiovascular events, 1,615 deaths, and 660 cardiovascular deaths were observed in 9,338 participants. Each 1-SD increase in cumulative SBP load was associated with a 14% increase in major cardiovascular events (HR: 1.14; 95% CI: 1.09-1.20), 13% increase in all-cause mortality (HR: 1.13; 95% CI: 1.13-1.18), and 21% increase in cardiovascular death (HR: 1.21; 95% CI: 1.13-1.29). For the prediction of cardiovascular events and death, cumulative SBP load outperformed mean SBP, time-below-target SBP, and visit-to-visit SBP variability in terms of Akaike information criterion and net reclassification indexes. CONCLUSIONS Cumulative SBP load may provide better prediction of major cardiovascular events compared with traditional BP measures among patients with type 2 diabetes. These findings reinforce the importance of both the magnitude and duration of exposure to elevated SBP in assessing cardiovascular risk.

Nutraceutical Prevention of Diabetic Complications—Focus on Dicarbonyl and Oxidative Stress. Curr Issues Mol Biol 2022; 44:4314-4338.

Abstract
Oxidative and dicarbonyl stress, driven by excess accumulation of glycolytic intermediates in cells that are highly permeable to glucose in the absence of effective insulin activity, appear to be the chief mediators of the complications of diabetes. The most pathogenically significant dicarbonyl stress reflects spontaneous dephosphorylation of glycolytic triose phosphates, giving rise to highly reactive methylglyoxal. This compound can be converted to harmless lactate by the sequential activity of glyoxalase I and II, employing glutathione as a catalyst. The transcription of glyoxalase I, rate-limiting for this process, is promoted by Nrf2, which can be activated by nutraceutical phase 2 inducers such as lipoic acid and sulforaphane. In cells exposed to hyperglycemia, glycine somehow up-regulates Nrf2 activity. Zinc can likewise promote glyoxalase I transcription, via activation of the metal-responsive transcription factor (MTF) that binds to the glyoxalase promoter. Induction of glyoxalase I and metallothionein may explain the protective impact of zinc in rodent models of diabetic complications. With respect to the contribution of oxidative stress to diabetic complications, promoters of mitophagy and mitochondrial biogenesis, UCP2 inducers, inhibitors of NAPDH oxidase, recouplers of eNOS, glutathione precursors, membrane oxidant scavengers, Nrf2 activators, and correction of diabetic thiamine deficiency should help to quell this.

Abstract
Aims To investigate the quality of care and prescription patterns of patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) receiving primary care at local clinics in Taiwan. Methods A retrospective chart review was conducted in 43 primary care clinics in Taiwan. The patients' baseline characteristics, laboratory tests, presence of complications and antidiabetic agents prescribed were analyzed. Results 7,200 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were enrolled. Percentage of HbA1c, blood pressure (BP), and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) goals reached were 52.5% in HbA1c < 7%, 40.9% in BP < 130/80 mmHg and 79.7% in LDL-C < 2.59 mmol/L. 18.3% achieved all three ABC goals. However, patients with DKD had a lower rate of ABC goal attainment and higher rate of complications. Among DKD patients with eGFR ≥ 30 ml/min/1.73 m2 and on monotherapy, metformin was most frequently prescribed. As for dual therapy, the most common combinations were metformin with sulfonylurea and metformin with DPP-4 inhibitors. Conclusions Diabetes patients in Taiwan receiving primary diabetes care at local clinics had generally satisfactory management performance. However, more aggressive HbA1c, BP, and LDL-C management among DKD patients should be emphasized. Contrary to current recommendations, SGLT-2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists as frontline therapy were under-prescribed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence for the relationship between glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels and risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in patients with gout remained sparse and limited. This study aims to explore the associations between HbA1c levels and risks of incident CVD in patients with gout. METHODS We included patients with gout who had an HbA1c measurement at baseline from the UK Biobank. CVD events were identified from through medical and death records. We used multivariable Cox proportional hazards model with a restricted cubic spline to assess the potential non-linear effect of HbA1c on CVD risk. RESULTS We included a total of 6,685 patients (mean age 59.7; 8.1% females) with gout for analyses. During a mean follow-up of 7.3 years, there were 1,095 CVD events documented with an incidence of 2.26 events per 100 person-years (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.13-2.40). A quasi J-shaped association between HbA1c and risk of CVD was observed, with the potentially lowest risk found at the HbA1c of approximately 5.0% (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.65, 95% CI: 0.53-0.81). When compared with the HbAlc level of 7%, a significantly decreased risk of CVD was found from 5.0 to 6.5%, while an increased risk was observed at 7.5% (HR = 1.05) and 8.0% (HR = 1.09). Subgroup analyses yielded similar results to the main findings in general. CONCLUSIONS Based on data from a nationwide, prospective, population-based cohort, we found a quasi J-shaped relationship between HbA1c and risk of CVD in patients with gout. More high-quality evidence is needed to further clarify the relationship between HbA1c and CVD risk in patients with gout.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of death globally, driven by the high rates of risk factors, such as diabetes and hypertension. As the prevalence of these risk factors is particularly high in the Gulf region, better diagnosis and management of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and hypertension has the potential to dramatically reduce adverse cardiovascular outcomes for individuals in that part of the world. This article provides a summary of presentations made during the EVIDENT summit, a virtual symposium on Evidence in Diabetes and Hypertension, held in September 2021, including a review of the various guidelines for both T2D and hypertension, as well as recent findings relevant to the safety and efficacy for therapies relating to these conditions. Of relevance to the Gulf region, the risk of hypoglycaemia with sulfonylureas during Ramadan was reviewed. For the management of T2D, sulfonylureas have been a long-standing medication used to achieve glycaemic control; however, differences have emerged between early and later generations, with recent studies suggesting improvements in the safety profiles of late-generation sulfonylureas. For patients with hypertension, incremental therapy changes are recommended to reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications that are associated with increasing blood pressure. For first-line therapy, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi), such as perindopril, have been demonstrated to reduce the risk of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. The addition of calcium channel blockers and diuretics to ACEi has been shown to be effective in patients with poorly controlled hypertension. The different renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors are reviewed, and the benefit of combination therapies, including amlodipine and indapamide in patients with difficult-to-control hypertension, is investigated. The benefits of lifestyle modifications for these patients are also discussed, with important clinical considerations that are expected to inform patient management in daily clinical practice.
