Kaul U, Sudhir K, Bangalore S. Current status of percutaneous coronary interventions in diabetics with multivessel disease - is it time to challenge FREEDOM? ASIAINTERVENTION 2024; 10:102-109. [PMID: 39070972 PMCID: PMC11261656 DOI: 10.4244/aij-d-24-00016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2024] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024]
Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) and coronary artery disease (CAD) are the leading causes of death in the world. Over the last two decades, clinical trials have indicated that DM patients with CAD have poorer cardiac outcomes than non-diabetic patients with CAD. The pivotal findings of the FREEDOM trial greatly impacted the way clinicians approached revascularisation in diabetic patients with multivessel disease (MVD). However, since the publication of the FREEDOM trial, much has changed both in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) technology, as well as in the management of diabetes. This review provides insights into advancements in stent technology, enhanced patient management strategies, improved clinical outcomes with newer hypoglycaemic agents, current approaches to antiplatelet therapy, and advances in lipid management in diabetic patients. The influence of patient-specific factors such as comorbidities and anatomical complexities on treatment decisions in diabetic patients with MVD is also discussed. The ongoing TUXEDO-2 India trial was designed to primarily compare the clinical outcomes of PCI with the new-generation ultrathin-strut Supraflex Cruz stent, compared to the second-generation XIENCE stent in the setting of contemporary optimal medical therapy in Indian diabetic patients with MVD. The secondary objective of this study is to compare clinical outcomes in the combined group from both study arms against a performance goal derived from the coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) arm of the FREEDOM trial (historical cohort). The tertiary objective is to compare the efficacy and safety of ticagrelor versus prasugrel in diabetic patients with MVD. In view of recent advances in PCI and medical therapy since the FREEDOM trial, now is an appropriate time to revisit the results of CABG versus PCI in diabetic patients with MVD.

Diabetes mellitus in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction: a post hoc analysis from the WARCEF trial. Intern Emerg Med 2024; 19:931-939. [PMID: 38393500 PMCID: PMC11186946 DOI: 10.1007/s11739-024-03544-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2023] [Accepted: 01/16/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024]
Abstract
Patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and diabetes mellitus (DM) have an increased risk of adverse events, including thromboembolism. In this analysis, we aimed to explore the association between DM and HFrEF using data from the "Warfarin versus Aspirin in Reduced Cardiac Ejection Fraction" (WARCEF) trial. We analyzed factors associated with DM using multiple logistic regression models and evaluated the effect of DM on long-term prognosis, through adjusted Cox regressions. The primary outcome was the composite of all-cause death, ischemic stroke, or intracerebral hemorrhage; we explored individual components as the secondary outcomes and the interaction between treatment (warfarin or aspirin) and DM on the risk of the primary outcome, stratified by relevant characteristics. Of 2294 patients (mean age 60.8 (SD 11.3) years, 19.9% females) included in this analysis, 722 (31.5%) had DM. On logistic regression, cardiovascular comorbidities, symptoms and ethnicity were associated with DM at baseline, while age and body mass index showed a nonlinear association. Patients with DM had a higher risk of the primary composite outcome (Hazard Ratio [HR] and 95% Confidence Intervals [CI]: 1.48 [1.24-1.77]), as well as all-cause death (HR [95%CI]: 1.52 [1.25-1.84]). As in prior analyses, no statistically significant interaction was observed between DM and effect of Warfarin on the risk of the primary outcome, in any of the subgroups explored. In conclusion, we found that DM is common in HFrEF patients, and is associated with other cardiovascular comorbidities and risk factors, and with a worse prognosis.

Impact of Fat Distribution and Metabolic Diseases on Cerebral Microcirculation: A Multimodal Study on Type 2 Diabetic and Obese Patients. J Clin Med 2024; 13:2900. [PMID: 38792441 PMCID: PMC11122647 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13102900] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2024] [Revised: 05/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/11/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: Since metabolic diseases and atherosclerotic vascular events are firmly associated, herein we investigate changes in central microcirculation and atherosclerosis-related body fat distribution in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity. Methods: Resting brain perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging with Technetium-99m hexamethylpropylene amine oxime ([99mTc]Tc-HMPAO SPECT) was performed, and the breath-holding index (BHI) and carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) were measured to characterise central microcirculation. Besides CT-based abdominal fat tissue segmentation, C-peptide level, glycaemic and anthropometric parameters were registered to search for correlations with cerebral blood flow and vasoreactivity. Results: Although no significant difference was found between the resting cerebral perfusion of the two patient cohorts, a greater blood flow increase was experienced in the obese after the breath-holding test than in the diabetics (p < 0.05). A significant positive correlation was encountered between resting and provocation-triggered brain perfusion and C-peptide levels (p < 0.005). BMI and cIMT were negatively correlated (rho = -0.27 and -0.23 for maximum and mean cIMT, respectively), while BMI and BHI showed a positive association (rho = 0.31 and rho = 0.29 for maximum and mean BHI, respectively), which could be explained by BMI-dependent changes in fat tissue distribution. cIMT demonstrated a disproportional relationship with increasing age, and higher cIMT values were observed for the men. Conclusions: Overall, C-peptide levels and circulatory parameters seem to be strong applicants to predict brain microvascular alterations and related cognitive decline in such patient populations.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) poses a significant global health burden. This is particularly due to its macrovascular complications, such as coronary artery disease, peripheral vascular disease, and cerebrovascular disease, which have emerged as leading contributors to morbidity and mortality. This review comprehensively explores the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying these complications, protective strategies, and both existing and emerging secondary preventive measures. Furthermore, we delve into the applications of experimental models and methodologies in foundational research while also highlighting current research limitations and future directions. Specifically, we focus on the literature published post-2020 concerning the secondary prevention of macrovascular complications in patients with T2DM by conducting a targeted review of studies supported by robust evidence to offer a holistic perspective.

Abstract
Diabetic foot ulcer complicated with lower extremity vasculopathy is highly prevalent, slow healing and have a poor prognosis. The final progression leads to amputation, or may even be life-threatening, seriously affecting patients' quality of life. The treatment of lower extremity vasculopathy is the focus of clinical practice and is vital to improving the healing process of diabetic foot ulcers. Recently, a number of clinical trials on diabetic foot ulcers with lower extremity vasculopathy have been reported. A joint group of Chinese Medical Association (CMA) and Chinese Medical Doctor Association (CMDA) expert representatives reviewed and reached a consensus on the guidelines for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of this kind of disease. These guidelines are based on evidence from the literature and cover the pathogenesis of diabetic foot ulcers complicated with lower extremity vasculopathy and the application of new treatment approaches. These guidelines have been put forward to guide practitioners on the best approaches for screening, diagnosing and treating diabetic foot ulcers with lower extremity vasculopathy, with the aim of providing optimal, evidence-based management for medical personnel working with diabetic foot wound repair and treatment.

Association of platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio levels with the risk of cardiac adverse events in people with type 2 diabetes undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: A large-scale prospective cohort study. Diabetes Metab Syndr 2024; 18:102987.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), a promising inflammatory biomarker, contributes to the development of atherosclerosis and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Therefore, this study aimed to elucidate the importance of PLR in predicting adverse events in people undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with T2D. METHODS We consecutively enrolled 8831 people who underwent PCI and divided them into four groups according to PLR and glycemic metabolic status (PLR-Low/High without T2D, PLR-Low/High with T2D). The endpoints were major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) and stent thrombosis. A multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed to determine this association. RESULTS During the 2.4-year follow-up, 663 (7.5%) MACCE and 75 (0.85%) stent thromboses were recorded. The risk of MACCE (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.30, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.10-1.53, P = 0.002) and stent thrombosis (HR: 2.32, 95% CI: 1.38-3.90, P = 0.002) was significantly higher in people with high PLR levels than in those with low PLR. Among people with T2D, the PLR-High group showed a significantly higher risk of MACCE (HR: 1.59, 95% CI: 1.21-2.09, P = 0.001) and stent thrombosis (HR: 3.15, 95% CI: 1.32-7.52, P = 0.010). However, these associations were not significant in people without T2D. CONCLUSIONS PLR has been originally documented as a significant predictor of poor prognosis and a high incidence of stent thrombosis in people undergoing PCI, especially in those with T2D.

Abstract
This review will provide an overview of what is currently known about mechanisms linking poor glycaemic control with increased thrombotic risk. The leading causes of death in people with diabetes are strokes and cardiovascular disease. Significant morbidity is associated with an increased risk of thrombosis, resulting in myocardial infarction, ischaemic stroke, and peripheral vascular disease, along with the sequelae of these events, including loss of functional ability, heart failure, and amputations. While the increased platelet activity, pro-coagulability, and endothelial dysfunction directly impact this risk, the molecular mechanisms linking poor glycaemic control with increased thrombotic risk remain unclear. This review highlights the complex mechanisms underlying thrombosis prevalence in individuals with diabetes and hyperglycaemia. Post-translational modifications, such as O-GlcNAcylation, play a crucial role in controlling protein function in diabetes. However, the role of O-GlcNAcylation remains poorly understood due to its intricate regulation and the potential involvement of multiple variables. Further research is needed to determine the precise impact of O-GlcNAcylation on specific disease processes.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) constitutes a chronic metabolic disease characterized by elevated levels of blood glucose which can also lead to the so-called diabetic vascular complications (DVCs), responsible for most of the morbidity, hospitalizations and death registered in these patients. Currently, different approaches to prevent or reduce DM and its DVCs have focused on reducing blood sugar levels, cholesterol management or even changes in lifestyle habits. However, even the strictest glycaemic control strategies are not always sufficient to prevent the development of DVCs, which reflects the need to identify reliable biomarkers capable of predicting further vascular complications in diabetic patients. Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), widely known for their potential applications in cell therapy due to their regenerative properties, may be used as differential markers in DVCs, considering that the number and functionality of these cells are affected under the pathological environments related to DM. Besides, drugs commonly used with DM patients may influence the level or behaviour of EPCs as a pleiotropic effect that could finally be decisive in the prognosis of the disease. In the current review, we have analysed the relationship between diabetes and DVCs, focusing on the potential use of EPCs as biomarkers of diabetes progression towards the development of major vascular complications. Moreover, the effects of different drugs on the number and function of EPCs have been also addressed.

Abstract
Diabetes is a metabolic condition with a rising global prevalence and is characterised by abnormally high blood glucose levels. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) accounts for the majority of deaths in diabetes and, despite improvements in therapy, mortality and hospitalisations in this cohort remain disproportionally higher compared to individuals with normal glucose metabolism. One mechanism for increased CVD risk is enhanced thrombosis potential, due to altered function of the cellular and acellular arms of coagulation. Different mechanisms have been identified that mediate disordered blood clot formation and breakdown in diabetes, including dysglycaemia, insulin resistance, and metabolic co-morbidities. Collectively, these induce platelet/endothelial dysfunction and impair the fibrinolytic process, thus creating a prothrombotic milieu. Despite these abnormalities, current antithrombotic therapies are largely similar in diabetes compared to those without this condition, which explains the high proportion of patients experiencing treatment failure while also displaying an increased risk of bleeding events. In this narrative review, we aimed to summarise the physiological functioning of haemostasis followed by the pathological effects of diabetes mellitus on platelets and the fibrin network. Moreover, we carefully reviewed the literature to describe the current and future therapeutic targets to lower the thrombosis risk and improve vascular outcomes in diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extracellular vesicles (EVs), shed in response to cell activation, stress, or injury, are increased in the blood of patients with cardiovascular disease. EVs are characterized by expressing parental-cell antigens, allowing the determination of their cellular origin. Platelet-derived EVs (pEVs) are the most abundant in blood. Although not universally given, EVs generally express phosphatidylserine (PS) in their membrane. OBJECTIVES To investigate pEVs in chronic and acute conditions, such as chronic heart failure (CHF) and first-onset acute coronary syndrome (ACS), in patients treated as per guidelines. METHODS EVs in CHF patients (n = 119), ACS patients (n = 58), their respective controls (non-CHF [n = 21] and non-ACS [n = 24], respectively), and a reference control group (n = 31) were characterized and quantified by flow cytometry, using monoclonal antibodies against platelet antigens, and annexin V (AV) to determine PS exposure. RESULTS CHF patients had higher EVs-PS- numbers, while ACS had predominantly EVs-PS+. In contrast to ACS, CHF patients had significantly reduced numbers of pEVs carrying PECAM and αIIb-integrin epitopes (CD31+/AV+, CD41a+/AV+, and CD31+/CD41a+/AV+), while no differences were observed in P-selectin-rich pEVs (CD62P+/AV+) compared with controls. Additionally, background etiology of CHF (ischemic vs. nonischemic) or ACS type (ST-elevation myocardial infarction [STEMI] vs. non-STEMI [NSTEMI]) did not affect pEV levels. CONCLUSION PS exposure in EV and pEV-release differ between CHF and ACS patients, with tentatively different functional capacities beyond coagulation to inflammation and cross-talk with other cell types.

Abstract
AIMS We aimed to explored the association between the use of optimal medical therapy (OMT) in patients with myocardial infarction (AMI) and diabetes mellitus (DM) and clinical outcomes. METHODS Bleeding complications in a Multicenter registry of patients discharged with diagnosis of Acute Coronary Syndrome (BleeMACS) is an international registry that enrolled participants with acute coronary syndrome followed up for at least 1 year across 15 centers from 2003 to 2014. Baseline characteristics and endpoints were analyzed. RESULTS Among 3095 (23.2%) patients with AMI and DM, 1898 (61.3%) received OMT at hospital discharge. OMT was associated with significantly reduced mortality (4.3% vs. 10.8%, p < 0.001), re-AMI (4.4% vs. 8.1%, p < 0.001), and composite endpoint of death/re-AMI (8.0% vs. 17.6%, p < 0.001). No difference was observed among regions. Propensity score matching confirmed that OMT significantly associated with lower mortality. After adjusting for confounding variables, OMT, drug-eluting stents, and complete revascularization were independent protective factors of 1-year mortality, whereas left ventricular ejection fraction and age were risk factors. CONCLUSIONS Guideline-recommended OMT was prescribed at suboptimal frequencies with geographic variations in this worldwide cohort. OMT can improve long-term clinical outcomes in patients with DM and AMI. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT02466854 June 9, 2015.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a persistent metabolic condition that contributes to the development of cardiovascular diseases. Numerous studies have provided evidence that individuals with T2DM are at a greater risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, typically two to four times more likely than those without T2DM, mainly due to an increased risk of atherosclerosis. The rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque leading to pathological thrombosis is commonly recognized as a significant factor in advancing cardiovascular diseases caused by TD2M, with platelets inducing the impact of plaque rupture in established atherosclerosis and predisposing to the primary expansion of atherosclerosis. Studies suggest that individuals with T2DM have platelets that display higher baseline activation and reactivity than those without the condition. The expression enhancement of several platelet receptors is known to regulate platelet activation signaling, including platelet glycoprotein-Ib (GPIb). Furthermore, the high expression of platelet GP1b has been reported to increase the risk of platelet adhesion, platelet-leucocyte interaction, and thrombo-inflammatory pathology. However, the study exploring the role of GP1b in promoting platelet activation-induced cardiovascular diseases in T2DM patients is still limited. Therefore, we summarize the important findings regarding pathophysiological continuity between T2DM, platelet GPIb, and atherosclerosis and highlight the potential therapy targeting GPIb as a novel antiplatelet agent for preventing further cardiovascular incidents in TD2M patients.

Abstract
Metformin, the most frequently prescribed medicine for the management of type 2 diabetes, has been shown to reduce cardiovascular events in diabetic patients in pre-clinical and clinical studies. The present work reports the design, synthesis, and biological assessment of the impact of six benzenesulfonamide biguanides on various aspects of hemostasis, cell function, red blood cell integrity (RBC), and their ability to uptake glucose in human umbilical endothelial cells (HUVECs). It was found that all synthesized o- and m-benzenesulfonamides, particularly derivatives with nitro (3) and amino groups (4), are characterized by a good safety profile in HUVECs, which was further confirmed in the cellular integrity studies. The biguanide analogues with methoxy group (1, 2) and an amino substituent (5, 6) significantly increased glucose utilization in HUVECs, similarly to the parent drug. Intriguingly, compounds 1, 3, and 6 favourably influenced some of the coagulation parameters. Furthermore, derivative 3 also slowed the process of fibrin polymerization, indicating more beneficial anti-coagulant properties than metformin. None of the novel metformin analogues interact strongly with the erythrocyte lipid-protein bilayer. Our findings indicate that derivative 3 has highly desirable anti-coagulant properties, and compounds 1 and 6 have potential dual-action activity, including anti-hyperglycaemic properties and anti-coagulant activity. As such, these derivatives can be used as lead molecules for further development of anti-diabetic agents with a beneficial effect on hypercoagulability.

Abstract
Background The focus of this investigation into the impact of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on left ventricular thrombus (LVT) is (a) the differences in LVT characteristics, (b) long-term clinical outcomes, and (c) differential effects of direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) among patients with T2DM and without diabetes. Methods Patients with confirmed LVT from 2009 to 2021 were included. The primary endpoints were major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), composite of cardiovascular death, ischemic stroke, and acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The secondary endpoints were all-cause death and cardiovascular death. Multivariable competing-risk regression and cumulative incidence functions (CIF) were used to evaluate the adverse consequences. Results In total, 1675 patients were assessed initially. Follow-up data were available for 91.1% of the participants. Median follow-up was 3.8 years. This retrospective study ultimately comprised 1068 participants, of which 429 had T2DM. Significantly higher proportions of comorbidities were observed in the T2DM group. The location, morphology, and size of LVT were similar in the two groups. Multivariable analysis suggested a higher risk of MACCE among patients with T2DM. The difference in risk between the two groups after matching and weighting was not statistically significant. Among the whole sample (n = 638) or the just the non-diabetic patients with LVT and anticoagulation (n = 382), the incidence of MACCE did not differ between DOAC treatment and warfarin treatment. In the diabetic LVT population with anticoagulation (n = 256), DOAC treatment was associated with a significantly higher risk of MACCE than was warfarin treatment. Conclusions The location and morphology of LVT are similar in T2DM and non-diabetic patients. A higher risk of MACCE was found among patients with diabetes.

Abstract
Cardiovascular complications are a common death cause in type 2 diabetes patients, as they are often combined. Plasminogen-activator Inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) participates in the development and progression of cardiovascular complications in diabetes. Insulin resistance increases PAI-1 production, and high PAI-1 levels lead to an environment conducive to thrombosis and earlier and more severe vascular disease. Current evidence also suggests that PAI-1 has a rhythmic profile of circadian fluctuations and acrophase in the morning within a single day, which might explain the high morning incidence of cardiovascular events. Thus, PAI-1 is a possible drug target. Although several PAI-1 inhibitors have been developed, none have yet been allowed for clinical use. Research on rhythm has also led to the concept of "chronotherapy", a rhythm-based drug regimen expected to improve the treatment of cardiovascular complications in diabetic patients. Herein, we searched several databases and reviewed relevant articles to describe the circadian rhythm characteristics and endogenous molecular mechanisms of PAI-1, its relationship with insulin resistance, the causes of cardiovascular complications caused by PAI-1, and the current development of PAI-1 inhibitors. We also summarized the possibility of using the circadian rhythm of PAI-1 to treat cardiovascular complications in diabetic patients.

Abstract
Patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) may have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Few studies have dealt with the association between AP and the risk of CVD in diabetic patients. This study aimed to investigate the risk of CVD and mortality in patients with diabetes and AP history by analyzing a large-scale national claims database in Korea. Data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service database was analyzed. A total of 2,746,988 participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus that underwent a general health examination between 2009 and 2012 were enrolled. The participants were divided into two groups according to AP history (yes or no) prior to the examination date, and follow-up data until 2018 was analyzed. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), or death. The Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was used to evaluate the association between AP history and the risk of stroke, MI, and mortality. After exclusion, the included number of participants with and without AP history were 3,810 and 2,258,910, respectively. The presence of AP history showed a significantly higher incidence of stroke, MI, and mortality. The adjusted hazard ratios (95% confidence interval) for the risk of stroke, MI, and mortality were 1.534 (1.342-1.753), 1.998 (1.733-2.303), and 2.353 (2.200-2.515), respectively. Age < 65, male sex, current smoking, and drinking significantly increased the risk of death in the subgroup analyses. The risk of stroke, MI, and mortality was significantly higher in diabetic participants with AP history than those without AP history at 9-year follow-up. This suggests that active management of cardiovascular risk factors is necessary in diabetic patients with AP history.

Ticagrelor Versus Clopidogrel in East Asian Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome and Diabetes Mellitus. JACC. ASIA 2022; 2:666-674. [PMID: 36444315 PMCID: PMC9700022 DOI: 10.1016/j.jacasi.2022.07.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2022] [Revised: 07/19/2022] [Accepted: 07/22/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND It is still unknown whether diabetes mellitus (DM) affects the relative safety and efficacy of ticagrelor vs clopidogrel in East Asian patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). OBJECTIVES The authors sought to assess the safety and efficacy of ticagrelor vs clopidogrel according to the diabetic status of East Asian patients with ACS undergoing invasive management. METHODS This prespecified analysis of the TICA KOREA (Clinically Significant Bleeding With Ticagrelor Versus Clopidogrel in Korean Patients With Acute Coronary Syndromes Intended for Invasive Management) trial included 800 Korean patients. The primary safety endpoint was clinically significant bleeding (PLATO [Platelet Inhibition and Clinical Outcomes] major or minor bleeding) at 12 months; the efficacy endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular events (cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, and stroke). RESULTS Of 800 patients, 216 (27.0%) had DM. The incidence of clinically significant bleeding within 12 months was significantly higher with ticagrelor than clopidogrel in the nondiabetic group (10.2% vs 4.3%; HR: 2.45; 95% CI: 1.27-4.70; P = 0.007) and tended to be higher in the diabetic group (13.8% vs 8.0%; HR: 1.87; 95% CI: 0.54-4.36; P = 0.15); there was no significant interaction between treatment-arm and DM (P for interaction = 0.64). The incidences of major adverse cardiovascular events were not significantly different after ticagrelor or clopidogrel both in the diabetic group (10.8% vs 6.0%; HR: 1.90; 95% CI: 0.71-5.07; P = 0.20) and in the nondiabetic group (8.5% vs 5.7%; HR: 1.51; 95% CI: 0.81-2.81; P = 0.19) without significant interaction (P-for-interaction = 0.71). CONCLUSIONS In Korean ACS patients undergoing early invasive management, diabetes status did not affect the relative safety and efficacy of ticagrelor and clopidogrel.

Abstract
Thromboinflammation has become a topic of key interest in cardiovascular disease and the prevention of diabetes complications because of the interplay between thrombosis and inflammation in diabetes. Specifically, the significant risk of vascular thrombotic disease in diabetes highlights the need for new and better therapeutic targets to help manage and prevent vascular thrombo-occlusive disease in this condition. Similarly, the prominent role of inflammation in diabetes has sparked interest in anti-inflammatory agents to better prevent and control vascular disease. Investigations on the effects of anticoagulation and antiplatelet interventions in patients with diabetes and cardiovascular disease show a potential role for these agents in decreasing morbidity and mortality. Neutrophils and platelets are key players in inflammation and wound-healing response, respectively. The interaction between neutrophils and platelets is thought to be an important driver of thromboinflammation. Therefore, this review describes the mechanisms involved in platelet-neutrophil interactions that contribute to the development or exacerbation of thromboinflammation in the context of diabetes and its associated comorbidities. The effects observed by the antithrombotic/antidiabetic treatments and physical activity/dietary interventions on attenuating thromboinflammation are discussed. These data suggest that mechanisms involved in platelet-neutrophil interaction, platelet activation/aggregation, and the recruitment of neutrophils have a promising potential to become therapeutic targets to decrease thromboinflammation in patients with diabetes.

Abstract
Background: The management of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) presents several challenges in patients with diabetes, among them the higher rate of recurrent thrombotic events, hyperglycemia and risk of subsequent heart failure (HF). The objective of our study was to evaluate effects of DPP-4 inhibitors (DPP-4i) on platelet reactivity (main objective) and cardiac risk markers. Methods: We performed a single-center double-blind randomized trial. A total of 70 patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) with AMI Killip ≤2 on dual-antiplatelet therapy (aspirin plus clopidogrel) were randomized to receive sitagliptin 100 mg or saxagliptin 5 mg daily or matching placebo. Platelet reactivity was assessed at baseline, 4 days (primary endpoint) and 30 days (secondary endpoint) after randomization, using VerifyNow Aspirin™ assay, expressed as aspirin reaction units (ARUs); B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in pg/mL was assessed at baseline and 30 days after (secondary endpoint). Results: Mean age was 62.6 ± 8.8 years, 45 (64.3%) male, and 52 (74.3%) of patients presented with ST-segment elevation MI. For primary endpoint, there were no differences in mean platelet reactivity (p = 0.51) between the DPP-4i (8.00 {−65.00; 63.00}) and placebo (−14.00 {−77.00; 52.00}) groups, as well in mean BNP levels (p = 0.14) between DPP-4i (−36.00 {−110.00; 15.00}) and placebo (−13.00 {−50.00; 27.00}). There was no difference between groups in cardiac adverse events. Conclusions: DPP4 inhibitor did not reduce platelet aggregation among patients with type 2 diabetes hospitalized with AMI. Moreover, the use of DPP-4i did not show an increase in BNP levels or in the incidence of cardiac adverse events. These findings suggests that DPP-4i could be an option for management of T2DM patients with acute MI.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION : A growing body of evidence suggests that diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with an increased risk of new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) and contributes to suboptimal arrhythmia control and poor prognosis in patients with AF. The high prevalence of AF among patients with DM is primarily attributed to common risk factors, shared pathophysiological mechanisms, and associated atrial remodeling and autonomic dysfunction. AREAS COVERED : This comprehensive review covers the current data on the role of DM in the development and prognosis of AF. In addition, we review the impact of anti-DM medications on AF prevention and the role of anticoagulation in patients with coexisting DM and AF. EXPERT OPINION : DM is independently associated with new-onset AF, and the coexistence of these two conditions contributes to poor outcomes, from reduced quality of life to increased risks of thromboembolic events, heart failure, and mortality. Despite this strong link, the current evidence is insufficient to recommend routine screening for AF in patients with DM. Although some observations exist on preventing AF with anti-DM medications, randomized controlled trials are warranted to explore the proposed benefits of novel anti-DM medicines in reducing the risk of incident AF.

Abstract
Traditional Chinese medicine plays a significant role in the treatment of various diseases and has attracted increasing attention for clinical applications. Vascular diseases affecting vasculature in the heart, cerebrovascular disease, atherosclerosis, and diabetic complications have compromised quality of life for affected individuals and increase the burden on health care services. Berberine, a naturally occurring isoquinoline alkaloid form Rhizoma coptidis, is widely used in China as a folk medicine for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Promisingly, an increasing number of studies have identified several cellular and molecular targets for berberine, indicating its potential as an alternative therapeutic strategy for vascular diseases, as well as providing novel evidence that supports the therapeutic potential of berberine to combat vascular diseases. The purpose of this review is to comprehensively and systematically describe the evidence for berberine as a therapeutic agent in vascular diseases, including its pharmacological effects, molecular mechanisms, and pharmacokinetics. According to data published so far, berberine shows remarkable anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiapoptotic, and antiautophagic activity via the regulation of multiple signaling pathways, including AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), nuclear factor κB (NF-κB), mitogen-activated protein kinase silent information regulator 1 (SIRT-1), hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α), vascular endothelial growth factor phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), protein kinase B (Akt), janus kinase 2 (JAK-2), Ca2+ channels, and endoplasmic reticulum stress. Moreover, we discuss the existing limitations of berberine in the treatment of vascular diseases, and give corresponding measures. In addition, we propose some research perspectives and challenges, and provide a solid evidence base from which further studies can excavate novel effective drugs from Chinese medicine monomers.

Abstract
Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a risk factor for vascularization disorders, especially in the lower extremity that causes acute limb infection (ALI) and chronic limb ischemia (CLI). Case presentation A 41-year-old man has acute limb ischemia, critical limb ischemia, and diabetes mellitus. Investigation results showed vascular disorders in the lower extremity area with necrosis of the digit I pedis destra. The patient underwent retrograde and antegrade thrombectomy of the right to left femoral artery and amputation of the digit pedis. Discussion Thrombectomy is still effective for the management of extensive thrombosis. Amputation of necrotic tissue needs to be conducted immediately to prevent infection. Conclusion Vascular disorders in the extremities are an urgent health problem that requires immediate treatment because it prevents damage to the function of the lower extremities. Thrombectomy for vascular disorders in the lower extremity can minimize necrosis. Amputation is a solution to prevent sepsis in patients with diabetes mellitus. In addition to surgery, anti-thrombus should be given regularly.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The inflammatory state of diabetes promotes high platelet response and endothelial adhesion, which are the main risk factors for cardiovascular events. Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) is an amide alkaloid isolated from the traditional Chinese medicine Rhizoma Ligustici Chuanxiong, which has been widely used in the clinical treatment of ischemic cardiovascular disease. PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate whether TMP could alleviate diabetes-induced high platelet response and endothelial adhesion and the underlying mechanisms. METHODS Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) rat model was established by high-fat feeding combined with low dose of streptozotocin. Rats in the TMP treatment group were administered with TMP (100 or 200 mg/kg) for 21 days. Cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were stimulated with glucose (5.5 mM) to induce endothelial activation. The NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) over- and low-expressing cell models were established via transfection of NLRP3 lentivirus plasmid into HUVECs. INF39 (25 mg/kg), a chemical inhibitor of NLRP3 inflammasome, was used to explore the role of NLRP3 in T2DM associated high platelet response and endothelial adhesion. RESULTS TMP effectively improved the prothrombotic phenotypes and inhibited the expression of vascular inflammatory factors and adhesion molecules in T2DM rats. TMP inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome and reduced the adhesion of HUVECs to platelets and monocytes in vitro. Over-expression of NLRP3 blocked the effect of TMP on HUVECs activation and adhesion, while TMP had no effect on NLRP3 low-expressing HUVECs. The NLRP3 inhibitor INF39 produced similar effects of TMP on diabetes-induced high platelet response, endothelial adhesion and vascular inflammation. CONCLUSION TMP ameliorates diabetes-induced high platelet response and endothelial adhesion via inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation in T2DM rats, which provide a new basis for the clinical prevention and treatment of diabetes-associated cardiovascular events.

Abstract
The increasing prevalence of diabetes and stroke is a major global public health concern. Specifically, acute stroke patients, with pre-existing diabetes, pose a clinical challenge. It is established that diabetes is associated with a worse prognosis after acute stroke and the various biological factors that mediate poor recovery profiles in diabetic patients is unknown. The level of association and impact of diabetes, in the setting of reperfusion therapy, is yet to be determined. This article presents a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge of the role of diabetes in stroke, therapeutic strategies for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease and/or stroke in diabetes, and various therapeutic considerations that may apply during pre-stroke, acute, sub-acute and post-stroke stages. The early diagnosis of diabetes as a comorbidity for stroke, as well as tailored post-stroke management of diabetes, is pivotal to our efforts to limit the burden. Increasing awareness and involvement of neurologists in the management of diabetes and other cardiovascular risk factors is desirable towards improving stroke prevention and efficacy of reperfusion therapy in acute stroke patients with diabetes.
