Abstract
BACKGROUND Precision medicine has the potential to improve cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk prediction in individuals with Type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of longitudinal studies to identify potentially novel prognostic factors that may improve CVD risk prediction in T2D. Out of 9380 studies identified, 416 studies met inclusion criteria. Outcomes were reported for 321 biomarker studies, 48 genetic marker studies, and 47 risk score/model studies. RESULTS Out of all evaluated biomarkers, only 13 showed improvement in prediction performance. Results of pooled meta-analyses, non-pooled analyses, and assessments of improvement in prediction performance and risk of bias, yielded the highest predictive utility for N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) (high-evidence), troponin-T (TnT) (moderate-evidence), triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index (moderate-evidence), Genetic Risk Score for Coronary Heart Disease (GRS-CHD) (moderate-evidence); moderate predictive utility for coronary computed tomography angiography (low-evidence), single-photon emission computed tomography (low-evidence), pulse wave velocity (moderate-evidence); and low predictive utility for C-reactive protein (moderate-evidence), coronary artery calcium score (low-evidence), galectin-3 (low-evidence), troponin-I (low-evidence), carotid plaque (low-evidence), and growth differentiation factor-15 (low-evidence). Risk scores showed modest discrimination, with lower performance in populations different from the original development cohort. CONCLUSIONS Despite high interest in this topic, very few studies conducted rigorous analyses to demonstrate incremental predictive utility beyond established CVD risk factors for T2D. The most promising markers identified were NT-proBNP, TnT, TyG and GRS-CHD, with the highest strength of evidence for NT-proBNP. Further research is needed to determine their clinical utility in risk stratification and management of CVD in T2D.

Silent myocardial infarction fatty scars detected by coronary calcium score CT scan in diabetic patients without history of coronary heart disease. Eur Radiol 2024; 34:214-225. [PMID: 37530810 PMCID: PMC10791785 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-023-09940-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2022] [Revised: 05/14/2023] [Accepted: 05/16/2023] [Indexed: 08/03/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the prevalence of intra-myocardial fatty scars (IMFS) most likely indicating previous silent myocardial infarction (SMI), as detected on coronary artery calcium (CAC) computed tomography (CT) scans in diabetic patients without history of coronary heart disease (CHD). METHODS Diabetic patients screened for silent coronary insufficiency in a tertiary-care, university hospital between Jan-2015 and Dec-2016 were categorized according to their CAC score in two groups comprising 242 patients with CACS = 0 and 145 patients with CACS ≥ 300. CAC-CT scans were retrospectively evaluated for subendorcardial and transmural IMFS of the left ventricle. Adipose remodeling, patients' characteristics, cardiovascular risk factors and metabolic profile were compared between groups. RESULTS Eighty-three (21%) patients with IMFS were identified, 55 (37.9%) in the group CACS ≥ 300 and 28 (11.6%) in the CACS = 0 (OR = 4.67; 95% CI = 2.78-7.84; p < 0.001). Total and average surface of IMFS and their number per patient were similar in both groups (p = 0.55; p = 0.29; p = 0.61, respectively). In the group CACS ≥ 300, patients with IMFS were older (p = 0.03) and had longer-lasting diabetes (p = 0.04). Patients with IMFS were older and had longer history of diabetes, reduced glomerular filtration rate, more coronary calcifications (all p < 0.05), and higher prevalence of carotid plaques (OR = 3.03; 95% CI = 1.43-6.39, p = 0.004). After correction for other variables, only a CACS ≥ 300 (OR = 5.12; 95% CI = 2.66-9.85; p < 0.001) was associated with an increased risk of having IMFS. CONCLUSIONS In diabetic patients without known CHD, IMFSs were found in patients without coronary calcifications, although not as frequently as in patients with heavily calcified coronary arteries. It remains to be established if this marker translates in an upwards cardiovascular risk restratification especially in diabetic patients with CACS = 0. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT In diabetic patients without history of coronary heart disease, intramyocardial fatty scars, presumably of post-infarction origin, can be detected on coronary artery calcium CT scans more frequently, but not exclusively, if the coronary arteries are heavily calcified as compared to those without calcifications. KEY POINTS • Intramyocardial fatty scars (IMFS), presumably of post-infarction origin, can be detected on coronary artery calcium (CAC) CT scans more frequently, but not exclusively, in diabetic patients with CACS ≥ 300 as compared to patients CACS = 0. • Patients with IMFS were older and had longer history of diabetes, reduced glomerular filtration rate, and more coronary calcifications. • Carotid plaques and CACS ≥ 300 were associated with an increased risk of having IMFS, about three and five folds respectively.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The study aims to describe methods for detecting subclinical coronary artery disease (CAD) and their potential implications in asymptomatic patients with diabetes. RECENT FINDINGS Imaging tools can assess non-invasively the presence and severity of CAD, based on myocardial ischemia, coronary artery calcium score, and coronary computed tomography coronary angiography. Subclinical CAD is common in the general population ageing 50 to 64 years with any coronary atherosclerosis present in 42.1% and obstructive CAD in 5.2%. In patients with diabetes, an even higher prevalence has been noted. The presence of myocardial ischemia, obstructive CAD, and the extent of coronary atherosclerosis provide powerful risk stratification regarding the risk of cardiovascular events. However, randomized trials evaluating systematic screening in the general population or patients with diabetes have demonstrated only moderate impact on management and no significant impact on patient outcomes. Despite providing improved risk stratification, systematic screening of CAD is not recommended in patients with diabetes.

Abstract
Advances in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease (CVD) over the last decades have led to a marked reduction in mortality for CVD. Nevertheless, atherosclerosis leading to coronary artery disease and stroke remains one of the most common causes of death in the world. The usefulness of imaging tests in the early identification of disease led to identify subjects at major risk of poor outcomes, suggesting risk factor modification. The aim of this article is to analyze the state of art of combined imaging in patients at risk of CVD referred to MPI evaluation, to highlight the present and potential features able to provide incremental prognostic information to help clinicians in patient management and to reduce adverse events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary artery calcium score (CACS) refines the cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk prediction in patients with Type-2 diabetes (T2D). We aimed to identify the determinants for high CACS in CVD-free patients with T2D. METHODS We studied 796 patients with T2D with CACS measured in three centers: two in continental France and a third in the Reunion Island. To predict a CACS ≥ 100, we derived a risk score in patients in continental France, and validated it in those in the Reunion Island. RESULTS The distributions of CACS distributions were similar among patients in continental France and Reunion Island. The French-CAC100 score included 5 parameters (age, sex, diabetes duration, non-CV end-organ damage and presence of ≥ 2 other CVD risk factors), ranging from 0 to 22 points. Similar areas under the curves were found for the risk score in both settings (0.80 vs. 0.73, p = 0.10). A French-CAC100 score < 10 excluded the odds for CACS ≥ 100 and CACS ≥ 400 with negative predictive values of 90% and 97% respectively, avoiding 58% of CT-scans. CONCLUSION Regardless of the geographic area, patients with T2D share similar risk factors for high CACS. The French-CAC100 score allows the identification of those at higher risk of elevated CACS.

Performance of the 2019 ESC/EASD guideline strategy for the screening of silent coronary artery disease in patients with diabetes. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2023; 22:33.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The 2019 guidelines for cardiovascular risk stratification by the European Society of Cardiology and European Association for the Study of Diabetes (ESC-EASD) suggested screening for silent coronary disease in very high risk patients with severe target organ damage (TOD) (i.e. peripheral occlusive arterial disease or severe nephropathy) or high coronary artery calcium (CAC) score. This study aimed to test the validity of this strategy. METHODS In this retrospective study, we included 385 asymptomatic patients with diabetes and no history of coronary disease but with TOD or ≥ 3 risk factors in addition to diabetes. CAC score was measured using computed tomography scan and a stress myocardial scintigraphy was performed to detect silent myocardial ischemia (SMI), with subsequent coronary angiography in those with SMI. Various strategies to select patients to be screened for SMI were tested. RESULTS CAC score was ≥ 100 Agatston units (AU) in 175 patients (45.5%). SMI was present in 39 patients (10.1%) and among the 30 patients who underwent angiography, 15 had coronary stenoses and 12 had a revascularization procedure. The most effective strategy consisted in performing myocardial scintigraphy in the 146 patients with severe TOD and, among the 239 other patients without severe TOD, in those with CAC ≥ 100 AU: this strategy provided 82% sensitivity for SMI diagnosis, and identified all the patients with stenoses. CONCLUSION The ESC-EASD guidelines suggesting SMI screening in asymptomatic patients with very high risk assessed by severe TOD or high CAC score appears effective and could identify all the patients with stenoses eligible for revascularization.

Cosson E, Berkane N, Pinto S, Bihan H, Tatulashvili S, Soussan M, Sellier N, Nguyen MT, Valensi P. Clinical relevance of coronary risk classification and reclassification with coronary artery calcium score in asymptomatic people living with diabetes. An observational study. DIABETES & METABOLISM 2023; 49:101412. [PMID: 36414170 DOI: 10.1016/j.diabet.2022.101412] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2022] [Revised: 11/11/2022] [Accepted: 11/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
AIMS To explore (i) in what proportion and direction coronary artery calcium (CAC) score reclassifies coronary risk in asymptomatic diabetic patients at high a priori coronary risk, and (ii) whether screening for asymptomatic myocardial ischemia / coronary stenosis only in patients at very high coronary risk - whether a priori or combined with those reclassified at very high risk according to their CAC score - has good sensitivity to detect these conditions. METHODS We retrospectively selected 377 asymptomatic primary prevention diabetic patients at high or very high a priori coronary risk according to national guidelines. All had their CAC score measured and underwent stress myocardial scintigraphy to detect myocardial ischemia. Those identified with ischemia then had a coronary angiography to identify coronary stenoses. RESULTS Of the selected patients, 242 and 135 patients had a high and very high a priori coronary risk, respectively. After taking into account their CAC score, the former were reclassified into three risk categories: moderate (n = 159, 66%), high (n = 38) and very high (45 patients) risk. Myocardial ischemia was identified in 35 patients and coronary stenoses in 14 of the latter. Had a stress scintigraphy been performed only in the 135 patients at very high risk a priori, 18 patients would have been detected with ischemia (sensitivity 51%), and 9 with coronary stenoses (sensitivity 64%). Had a scintigraphy also been performed on the 45 patients at very high risk after CAC-reclassification, an additional 7 and 5 patients with ischemia and coronary stenoses, respectively, would have been identified. CONCLUSION Following national guidelines, 66% of our population of asymptomatic diabetic persons at high a priori coronary risk were reclassified into the moderate risk category, translating into less stringent goals for risk factor control. Eighteen percent were reclassified into the very high-risk category, leading to 100% detection sensitivity for patients with ischemia and coronary stenoses.

Abstract
Diabetic heart disease is a major healthcare problem. Patients with diabetes show an excess of death from cardiovascular causes, twice as high as the general population and those with diabetes type 1 and longer duration of the disease present with more severe cardiovascular complications. Premature coronary artery disease and heart failure are leading causes of morbidity and reduced life expectancy. Multimodality cardiac imaging, including echocardiography, cardiac computed tomography, nuclear medicine, and cardiac magnetic resonance play crucial role in the diagnosis and management of different pathologies included in the definition of diabetic heart disease. In this review we summarise the utility of multi-modality cardiac imaging in characterising ischaemic and non-ischaemic causes of diabetic heart disease and give an overview of the current clinical practice. We also describe emerging imaging techniques enabling early detection of coronary artery inflammation and the non-invasive characterisation of the atherosclerotic plaque disease. Furthermore, we discuss the role of MRI-derived techniques in studying altered myocardial metabolism linking diabetes with the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Finally, we discuss recent data regarding the use of artificial intelligence applied to large imaging databases and how those efforts can be utilised in the future in screening of patients with diabetes for early signs of disease.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring is not routinely performed in patients with diabetes based on an existing class I indication for statin therapy in these patients. However, CAC scoring may improve risk classification and prediction of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) events beyond risk scores in asymptomatic individuals with prediabetes and diabetes, warranting CAC assessment in this population. The routine availability through provision of no-charge CAC as an alternative to routine probabilistic risk scores may improve utilization of preventive therapies especially in traditionally underserved populations. METHODS Prospective observational study in a large health system offering no-charge CAC scoring for primary prevention risk prediction with available glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) measurements between June 2015 and March 2019 were divided according to no diabetes (HbA1c <5.7 %), prediabetes (HbA1c 5.7 %-6.4 %), or diabetes (HbA1c ≥ 6.5 % or charted history) and followed for major adverse cardiovascular events [myocardial infarction, stroke, death (MACE) or coronary revascularization]. Patient characteristics, health history, laboratory data, and statin prescription rates were measured at baseline and at one year after CAC scoring. RESULTS A total of 12,194 subjects with available HbA1c underwent CAC scoring during the study period (6462 diabetes, 2062 prediabetes, and 3670 without diabetes). At a median follow-up of 1.2 years, there were 458 MACE events (71 patients without diabetes, 66 patients with prediabetes, and 321 patients with diabetes). Among patients with diabetes or prediabetes, increased CAC was associated with MACE (HR 1.38 [1.26-1.51], p < 0.001) and MACE or revascularization (HR 1.70 [1.57-1.85], p < 0.001). In patients with diabetes, CAC category was associated with greater statin initiation (89.6 % for CAC≥400 vs 60.1 % for CAC = 0, p < 0.001) and high intensity statin initiation (42.2 % for CAC≥400 vs 16.8 % for CAC = 0, p < 0.001) at one year post CAC scoring. Patients with diabetes had greater reductions in systolic blood pressure, LDL-C, total cholesterol, and triglycerides from baseline with a CAC ≥400 compared to a lower CAC category (p = 0.007). CONCLUSIONS CAC burden is associated with ASCVD risk in patients with diabetes. CAC scoring increases statin prescriptions and reduces ASCVD risk in patients with diabetes, potentially warranting routine CAC assessment in this population.

Abstract
Objective To develop and validate a new prediction model for the general population based on a large panel of both traditional and novel factors in cardiovascular disease (CVD). Design and Setting We used a prospective cohort in the Northeast China Rural Cardiovascular Health Study (NCRCHS). Participants A total of 11,956 participants aged ≥35 years were recruited between 2012 and 2013, using a multistage, randomly stratified, cluster-sampling scheme. In 2015 and 2017, the participants were invited to join the follow-up study for incident cardiovascular events. The loss to follow-up number was 351. At the study’s end, we obtained the CVD outcome events for 10,349 participants. Primary and Secondary Outcome Measures The prediction model was developed using demographic factors, blood biochemical indicators, electrocardiographic (ECG) characteristics, and echocardiography indicators collected at baseline (Model 1). Framingham-related variables, namely age, sex, smoking, total and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and diabetes status were used to construct the traditional model (Model 2). Results For the observed population (n = 10,349), the median follow-up time was 4.66 years. The total incidence of CVD was 1.1%/year, including stroke (n = 342) and coronary heart disease (n = 175). The results of Model 1 indicated that in addition to the traditional risk factors, QT interval (p < 0.001), aortic root diameter (p < 0.001), and ventricular septal thickness (p < 0.001) were predictive factors for CVD. Decision curve analysis (DCA) showed that the net benefit with Model 1 was higher than that of Model 2. Conclusion QT interval from electrocardiography and aortic root diameter and ventricular septal thickness from echocardiography should be included in the CVD risk prediction models.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The increased risk for cardiovascular events in diabetics is heterogeneous and contemporary clinical risk score calculators have limited predictive value. We therefore examined the additional value of coronary artery calcium score (CACS) in outcome prediction in type 2 diabetics without clinical coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS The study examined a population-based cohort of type 2 diabetics (n = 735) aged 55-74 years, recruited between 2006 and 2008. Patients had at least one additional risk factor and no history or symptoms of CAD. Risk assessment tools included Pooled Cohort Equations (PCE) and Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) 10-year risk score calculators and CACS. The occurrence of myocardial infarction (MI), stroke or cardiovascular death (MACE) was assessed over 10-years. RESULTS Risk score calculators predicted MACE and MI and cardiovascular death individually but not stroke. Increasing levels of CACS predicted MACE and its components independently of clinical risk scores, glycated hemoglobin and other baseline variables: hazard ratio (95% confidence interval) 2.92 (1.06-7.86), 6.53 (2.47-17.29) and 8.3 (3.28-21) for CACS of 1-100, 101-300 and > 300 Agatston units respectively, compared to CACS = 0. Addition of CACS to PCE improved discrimination of MACE [AUC of PCE 0.615 (0.555-0.676) versus PCE + CACS 0.696 (0.642-0.749); p = 0.0024]. Coronary artery calcium was absent in 24% of the study population and was associated with very low event rates even in those with high estimated risk scores. CONCLUSIONS CACS in asymptomatic type 2 diabetics provides additional prognostic information beyond that obtained from clinical risk scores alone leading to better discrimination between risk categories.

Abstract
Aims:
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is no longer regarded as a coronary risk equivalent, and heterogeneity of cardiovascular risk exists, suggesting that further risk stratification should be mandatory. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and clinical predictors of coronary artery calcium (CAC) score, and evaluate the CAC score as a predictor of cardiovascular outcome in a large asymptomatic T2DM cohort.
Methods:
A total of 2,162 T2DM patients were recruited from a Diabetes Shared Care Network and the CAC score was measured. Cardiovascular outcomes were obtained for 1,928 patients after a follow-up of 8.4 years. Multiple regression analysis and Cox proportional hazard regression were applied to identify clinical predictors of CAC and calculate the incidence and hazard ratios (HRs) for all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events by CAC category.
Results:
Of the recruited patients, 96.8% had one or more risk factors. The distribution of CAC scores was as follows: CAC=0 in 24.2% of the patients, 0 <CAC ≤ 100 in 41.5%, 100 <CAC ≤ 400 in 20.3%, CAC >400 in 14.7%. The multivariable predictor of increased CAC included age (years) (odds ratio, 1.07; 95% confidence interval, 1.06–1.08), male sex (1.82; 1.54–2.17), duration (years) of T2DM (1.07; 1.05–1.09), and multiple risk factors (1.94; 1.28–2.95). Increasing severity of CAC was associated with higher all-cause or cardiac mortality and higher incident cardiovascular events. The HRs for cardiac death or major cardiac events in CAC >400 vs CAC=0 were 8.67 and 10.52, respectively (
p
<0.001)
Conclusion:
CAC scoring provides better prognostication of cardiovascular outcome than traditional risk factors in asymptomatic T2DM patients, and may allow identifying a high-risk subset for enhancing primary prevention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High-risk coronary artery plaque (HRP) is associated with increased risk of acute coronary syndrome. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of HRP in asymptomatic patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), and its relation to patient characteristics including cardiovascular risk factors, diabetes profile, and coronary artery calcium score (CACS). METHODS Asymptomatic patients with T2D and no previous coronary artery disease (CAD) were studied using coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) in this descriptive study. Plaques with two or more high-risk features (HRP) defined by low attenuation, positive remodeling, spotty calcification, and napkin-ring sign were considered HRP. In addition, total atheroma volume (TAV), proportions of dense calcium, fibrous, fibrous-fatty and necrotic core volumes were assessed. The CACS was obtained from non-enhanced images by the Agatston method. Cardiovascular and diabetic profiles were assessed in all patients. RESULTS In 230 patients CCTA was diagnostic and 161 HRP were detected in 86 patients (37%). Male gender (OR 4.19, 95% CI 1.99-8.87; p < 0.01), tobacco exposure in pack years (OR 1.02, 95% CI 1.00-1.03; p = 0.03), and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) (OR 1.04, 95% CI 1.02-1.07; p < 0.01) were independent predictors of HRP. No relationship was found to other risk factors. HRP was not associated with increased CACS, and 13 (23%) patients with zero CACS had at least one HRP. CONCLUSION A high prevalence of HRP was detected in this population of asymptomatic T2D. The presence of HRP was associated with a particular patient profile, but was not ruled out by the absence of coronary artery calcium. CCTA provides important information on plaque morphology, which may be used to risk stratify this high-risk population. Trial registration This trial was retrospectively registered at clinical trials.gov January 11, 2017 trial identifier NCT03016910.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to employ phase analysis to diagnose left ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony (LVMD) in asymptomatic patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 and normal perfusion study which may help prevent diabetic cardiomyopathy. Ninety-three consecutive patients with known type 2 diabetes and 81 age- and gender- matched patients without diabetes who were candidates for SPECT-MPI were considered as the control group. The presence of LVMD as an possible risk factor for cardiomyopathy- was determined using phase analysis for each scan with quantitative gated SPECT (QGS) and corridor4DM (4DM) software. All outcomes such as phase bandwidth (PBW) and phase standard deviation (PSD) were compared between the two groups. A total of 174 patients were included in the study. There were no statistically significant difference regarding demographic factors between the two groups (P > 0.05). PBW showed statistically significant differences (increased in diabetics) between the control and diabetic patients (P < 0.05). Kruskal Wallis analysis revealed that as the duration of diabetes is prolonged, especially more than 15 years, the probability of LVMD is increased as well (P = 0.021). Fraction of asymptomatic diabetic patients with normal ejection fraction and gated SPECT MPI-especially those with prolonged diabetes- might have some degrees of LVMD. Phase analysis can detect this which in turn may prevent progress into heart failure.

Abstract
First developed in 1990, the Agatston coronary artery calcium (CAC) score is an international guideline-endorsed decision aid for further risk assessment and personalized management in the primary prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. This review discusses key international studies that have informed this 30 year journey, from an initial coronary plaque screening paradigm to its current role informing personalized shared decision making. Special attention is paid to the prognostic value of a CAC score of zero (the so called "power of zero"), which, in a context of low estimated risk thresholds for the consideration of preventive therapy with statins in current guidelines, may be used to de-risk individuals and thereby inform the safe delay or avoidance of certain preventive therapies. We also evaluate current recommendations for CAC scoring in clinical practice guidelines around the world, and past and prevailing barriers for its use in routine patient care. Finally, we discuss emerging approaches in this field, with a focus on the potential role of CAC informing not only the personalized allocation of statins and aspirin in the general population, but also of other risk-reduction therapies in special populations, such as individuals with diabetes and people with severe hypercholesterolemia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this analysis is to examine the incremental prognostic value of coronary artery calcium (CAC) score and myocardial flow reserve (MFR) in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing positron emission tomography (PET) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). BACKGROUND Advances in cardiac PET and computed tomography imaging enabled the simultaneous acquisition of anatomic and physiological data for patients suspected of CAD. METHODS Consecutive patients who underwent PET MPI and CAC score calculation at King Abdulaziz Cardiac Center, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, between May 2011 and May 2018 were included in the study. MPI and CAC images were obtained in the same setting. The primary endpoint of the study was a composite of cardiac death and nonfatal myocardial infarction. Cox proportional hazard regression was used to assess the incremental prognostic value of CAC and MFR by sequentially adding the variables to a model that included clinical and PET variables. RESULTS A total of 4,008 patients (mean age 59.7 ± 11.6 years, 55% women) were included in the analysis. Risk factors were prevalent (77.6% hypertension, 58.1% diabetes). In total, 35.9% of the cohort had CAC of 0, 16.5% had CAC ≥400, and 43.9% had MFR <2. Over a median follow up of 1.9 years, 130 (3.2%) patients had cardiac death/nonfatal myocardial infarction. CAC and MFR score added incremental prognostic value over clinical and perfusion variables (base model: c-index 0.8137; Akaike information criterion [AIC]: 1,865.877; p = 0.0011; CAC model: c-index = 0.8330; AIC: 1,850.810; p = 0.045 vs. base model; MFR model: c-index = 0.8279; AIC: 1,859.235; p = 0.024). Combining CAC and MFR did not enhance risk prediction (c-index = 0.8435; AIC: 1,846.334; p = 0.074 vs. MFR model; p = 0.21 vs. CAC model.) CONCLUSIONS: In this large cohort of patients referred for PET MPI, both CAC and MFR independently added incremental prognostic value over clinical and MPI variables. Although combining both may have synergetic prognostic effect, this relation was not shown in multivariable model of this analysis.

Abstract
Silent coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the manifestations of heart disease that particularly affects subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). From a clinical point of view, silent CAD represents a constant challenge for the diabetologist, who has to decide whether a patient could or could not be screened for this disease. In the present narrative review, several aspects of silent CAD are considered: the epidemiology of the disease, the associated risk factors, and main studies conducted, in the last 20 years, especially aimed to demonstrate the usefulness of the screening of silent CAD, to improve cardiovascular outcomes in type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) have increased risk for subclinical myocardial disease. Early systolic lengthening (ESL), a paradoxical stretch of myocardial fibers, is a sensitive marker of myocardial dysfunction. The aims of this study were to investigate the prognostic value of ESL in patients with T2D and to determine if global longitudinal strain (GLS) modifies this relationship. METHODS In this prospective study, speckle-tracking echocardiography was conducted in 703 patients with T2D (62% men; mean age, 63 ± 10 years; median diabetes duration, 11 years; interquartile range, 6-17 years). Patients had no histories of significant heart disease. ESL index was assessed as [-100 × (peak positive systolic strain/maximal strain)] and ESL duration as time from QRS complex on the electrocardiogram to time of peak positive systolic strain. P values ≤ .004 were considered to indicate statistical significance. RESULTS During a median follow-up time of 4.8 years (interquartile range, 4.1-5.3 years), 86 patients (12%) experienced major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), a composite of incident heart failure, myocardial infarction, and cardiovascular death. In multivariate models, only the ESL index (hazard ratio [HR], 1.06 per 1% increase; 95% CI, 1.01-1.010; P = .004) but not ESL duration (HR, 1.02 per 1-ms increase; 95% CI, 1.00-1.03; P = .036) were associated with MACE. GLS modified this relationship (P for interaction < .05) such that in patients with low GLS (>-18%), ESL index (HR, 1.06 per 1% increase; 95% CI, 1.02-1.10; P = .003) was associated with MACE, but ESL duration was not (HR, 1.02 per 1-ms increase; 95% CI, 1.00-1.04; P = .005). No associations were found for high GLS (<-18%). CONCLUSIONS In patients with T2D and no histories of heart disease, ESL provides prognostic information on MACE and may potentially aid in cardiovascular risk stratification.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although diabetes mellitus (DM) is no longer considered "coronary heart disease risk equivalent", the risk remains sufficiently high, necessitating early recognition and management of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in these patients. Despite this understanding, the optimum strategy for prediction and early detection of CVD in DM remains debatable. METHODS Major societal guidelines for prediction and evaluation of CVD in subjects with or without DM were reviewed. Available evidence about various risk stratification strategies-their advantages, disadvantages and current role in clinical practice-were extensively reviewed. Special emphasis was placed on evidence from South Asian/Indian populations. RESULTS The inconsistency and variability inherent to the clinical risk algorithms, lack of consensus regarding the incremental value of subclinical atherosclerosis imaging and the lack of sufficient data to demonstrate the benefits of recognizing asymptomatic atherosclerotic disease are some of the reasons underlying prevailing uncertainty about the optimum approach for cardiovascular risk assessment in DM. These challenges notwithstanding, an evidence-based cardiovascular risk stratification strategy incorporating clinical risk algorithms, biomarkers, atherosclerosis imaging, and cardiac stress testing is proposed. CONCLUSIONS The proposed algorithm should help clinicians in optimizing cardiovascular evaluation and management of their patients with DM. However, this remains a dynamic field; further research into different risk assessment tools, esp. focusing on their impact on improving clinical outcomes, should help refine the evaluation strategy in future.

Abstract
Background Reactive hyperemia-peripheral arterial tonometry (RH-PAT) is a noninvasive and simple test for evaluating the endothelial function. There has been sparse evidence on the usefulness of the RH-PAT index (RHI) in predicting future cardiovascular diseases among diabetic patients. Methods Asymptomatic diabetic patients with albuminuria were selected; their medical history and laboratory findings were evaluated every 3 to 4 months, respectively. The primary outcome was a composite of three-point major adverse cardiovascular events (3-point MACE): death from cardiovascular causes, acute coronary events, or nonfatal stroke. On the contrary, secondary outcomes included a composite of 3-point MACE, hospitalization for heart failure, or chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression. RHI was measured using the Endo-PAT2000 at the baseline. RHI < 1.67 was considered to indicate peripheral endothelial dysfunction (PED). Results In total, 149 subjects were included (mean age, 61.8 ± 9.2 years; duration of diabetes was 12 years). During the follow-up period (median, 49.7 months), of the 149 subjects, primary outcomes were detected in 12 (1 [2.3%] and 11 [10.5%] of those without and with PED, respectively). The presence of PED in baseline measurements significantly increased both primary and secondary outcomes, following adjustment for age, sex, hypertension, glycated hemoglobin, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride, systolic blood pressure, baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate, overt proteinuria, duration of diabetes, premedical history of ischemic events, anti-platelet agents, and smoking history (hazard ratio [HR]: 10.95; 95% confidence interval CI 1.00–119.91 for the primary outcome; HR, 4.12; 95% CI 1.37–12.41 for secondary outcome). In addition, PED could predict secondary outcomes independent of the risk score according to the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (HR: 3.24; 95% CI 1.14–9.17). Conclusions PED can independently predict future cardiovascular events among diabetic patients with albuminuria.

Abstract
The Mario S. Verani Lectureship has traditionally been an opportunity for presenters to reflect on the state of nuclear cardiology in clinical practice and expound on new innovations in the field. Mario Verani was a visionary who embraced change and, as a cardiologist, sought to define where other cardiac imaging techniques might complement nuclear cardiology for improving patient care. Over the last decade, nuclear cardiology and cardiac computed tomography (CT) have developed in parallel with both expanding beyond the evaluation of coronary artery disease. However, many consider cardiac CT a formidable threat to nuclear cardiology due to pivotal technical innovations and its subsequent exponential growth in recent years. It is only fitting that this year's lectureship explore the relative value of both techniques in evaluating and managing cardiac disease, their relative strengths and weaknesses, and the potential value of combining nuclear cardiology and cardiac CT imaging for enhancing patient management. To Mario, my mentor, colleague for over 20 years and friend, this lectureship is truly in honor and remembrance of you.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) extension-derived risk stratification for asymptomatic diabetic patients: usefulness of low-dose coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) in detecting high-risk profile patients. Radiol Med 2020; 125:1249-1259. [PMID: 32367320 DOI: 10.1007/s11547-020-01204-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2019] [Accepted: 04/16/2020] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND As one of the most frequent risk factors for cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the largest causes of death. However, an acute cardiac presentation is not uncommon in diabetic patients, and the current investigative approach remains often inadequate. The aim of our study was to retrospectively stratify the risk of asymptomatic T2DM patients using low-dose 640-slice coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). MATERIALS AND METHODS CCTA examinations of 62 patients (mean age, 65 years) with previous diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and without cardiac symptoms were analyzed. Image acquisition was performed using a 640-slice CT. Per-patient, per-vessel and per-plaque analyses were performed. Stratification risk was evaluated according to the ESC guidelines. The patients were followed up after 2.21 ± 0.56 years from CCTA examination. RESULTS Coronary artery disease (CAD) was found in 58 patients (93.55%) presenting 290 plaques. Analysis of all samples showed severe-to-occlusive atherosclerosis in 24 patients (38.7% of cases). However, over the degree of stenosis, 23 patients were evaluated at high risk considering the extension of CAD. Good agreement was shown by the correlation of CAD extension/risk estimation and MACE incidence, according to a Kaplan-Meier survival analysis (p value = 0.001), with a 7.25-fold increased risk (HR 7.25 CI 2.13-24.7; p value = 0.002). CONCLUSION Our study confirms the high capability of CCTA to properly stratify the CV risk of asymptomatic T2DM patients. Its use could be recommended if we consider how current investigative strategies to correctly assess these patients often seem inadequate.

Abstract
Current American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association and American Diabetes Association guidelines recommend statin therapy for all patients with diabetes between the ages of 40 and 75, including those without cardiovascular disease (CVD). While diabetes is a major CVD risk factor, not all patients with diabetes have an equal risk of CVD. Thus, a more risk-based approach warrants consideration when recommending statin therapy for the primary prevention of CVD. Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is a noninvasive imaging modality that can help risk stratify patients with diabetes for future CVD events. CAC has been extensively studied in large cohorts such as the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis and found to outperform other novel risk stratification tools including carotid intima-media thickness. Moreover, a CAC score of 0 has been shown to be useful in downgrading the estimated risk of a CVD event in patients with diabetes and an intermediate Pooled Cohort Equation score. As clinicians weigh the recommendation for a lifelong therapy and the problem of statin nonadherence and patients weigh concerns about adverse effects of statins, the decision to initiate statin therapy in patients with diabetes is ideally a shared one between patients and providers, and CAC could facilitate this discussion.

Abstract
If a disease state is highly prevalent and its consequences are severe, it may be appropriate to seek methods to identify it early to forestall its development and complications. Diabetes mellitus is a proven risk factor for the development of atherosclerosis, although its face and outcome are changing, as shown in contemporary clinical trials. In fact, decompensated heart failure seems to drive the hospitalization rate in patients with diabetes, and mortality from heart failure is reduced with modern hypoglycemic treatments. Nonetheless, atherosclerotic complications continue to be a major health concern in this segment of the population and cardiovascular imaging has been employed in an attempt to achieve a more accurate risk stratification. Although imaging for detection of obstructive coronary artery disease failed to reach such a goal, imaging for preclinical atherosclerosis may be more successful. In this review, we discuss the use of computed tomography and positron emission tomography to detect preclinical coronary atherosclerosis in asymptomatic patients with diabetes. Despite recent advances in the field, several questions remain to be answered as to the ultimate benefit of imaging for prevention in diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Background The relationship of coronary artery calcium (CAC) with adverse cardiac remodeling is not well established. We aimed to study the association of CAC in middle age and change in CAC from early adulthood to middle age with left ventricular (LV) function. Methods CAC score was measured by computed tomography at CARDIA study (Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults) year-15 examination and at year-25 examination (Y25) in 3043 and 3189 participants, respectively. CAC score was assessed as a continuous variable and log-transformed to account for nonlinearity. Change in CAC from year-15 examination to Y25 was evaluated as the absolute difference of log-transformed CAC from year-15 examination to Y25. LV structure and function were evaluated by echocardiography at Y25. Results At Y25, mean age was 50.1±3.6 years, 56.6% women, 52.4% black. In the multivariable analysis at Y25, higher CAC was related to higher LV mass (β=1.218; adjusted P=0.007), higher LV end-diastolic volume (β=0.811; adjusted P=0.007), higher LV end-systolic volume (β=0.350; adjusted P=0.048), higher left atrial volume (β=0.214; adjusted P=0.009), and higher E/e' ratio (β=0.059; adjusted P=0.014). CAC was measured at both year-15 examination and Y25 in 2449 individuals. Higher change in CAC score during follow-up was independently related to higher LV mass index in blacks (β=4.789; adjusted P<0.001), but not in whites (β=1.051; adjusted P=0.283). Conclusions Higher CAC in middle age is associated with higher LV mass and volumes and worse LV diastolic function. Being free of CAC from young adulthood to middle age correlates to better LV function at middle age. Higher change in CAC score during follow-up is independently related to higher LV mass index in blacks.

Abstract
Patients with diabetes experience increased cardiovascular risk that is not fully explained by deficient glycemic control or traditional cardiovascular risk factors such as smoking and hypercholesterolemia. Asymptomatic patients with diabetes show structural and functional vascular damage that includes impaired vasodilation, arterial stiffness, increased intima-media thickness and calcification of the arterial wall. Subclinical vascular injury associated with diabetes predicts subsequent manifestations of cardiovascular disease, such as ischemic heart disease, peripheral artery disease and stroke. Noninvasive detection of subclinical vascular disease is commonly used to estimate cardiovascular risk associated to diabetes. Longitudinal studies in normotensive subjects show that arterial stiffness at baseline is associated with a greater risk for future hypertension independently of established risk factors. In patients with type 2 diabetes, vascular disease begins to develop during the latent phase of insulin resistance, long before the clinical diagnosis of diabetes. In contrast, patients with type 1 diabetes do not manifest vascular injury when they are first diagnosed due to insulin deficiency, as they lack the preceding period of insulin resistance. These findings suggest that insulin resistance plays an important role in the development of early vascular disease associated with diabetes. Cross-sectional and prospective studies confirm that insulin resistance is associated with subclinical vascular injury in patients with diabetes, independently of standard cardiovascular risk factors. Asymptomatic vascular disease associated with diabetes begins to occur early in life having been documented in children and adolescents. Insulin resistance should be considered a therapeutic target in order to prevent the vascular complications associated with diabetes.

Abstract
Background Evidence from imaging studies suggests a high prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, there are no criteria for initiating screening for CAD in this population. The current study investigated whether clinical and demographic characteristics can be used to predict significant CAD in patients with T2DM. Methods Computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) and laboratory assessments were performed in 259 patients diagnosed with T2DM attending clinics in Northwest London, UK. Coronary artery calcium (CAC) was calculated during CTCA. Significant plaque was defined as one causing more than 50% luminal stenosis. Associations between groups and variables were evaluated using Student’s t test, Chi-square tests and univariate and multivariate regression analysis. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results Among patients with a median duration of T2DM of 13 years and a mean age of 62.0 years, median CAC score was 105.91 Agatston Units. In a multivariate analyses, duration of diabetes, CAC score and the presence and number of coronary artery plaques and presence of significant plaque were significant predictors of cardiovascular adverse events. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) had borderline significance as a predictor of cardiovascular events (p = 0.05). In a receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis, duration of diabetes of > 10.5 years predicted significant CAD (sensitivity, 75.3%; specificity 48.2%). Area under the ROC curve was 0.67 when combining duration of T2DM > 10.5 years and SBP of > 139 mm Hg. Adverse cardiovascular events after a median follow-up of 22.8 months were also significantly higher in those with duration of T2DM > 10.5 years and SBP > 140 mm Hg (log rank p = 0.02 and 0.009, respectively). Conclusions Routine screening for CAD using CTCA should be considered for patients with a diagnosis of T2DM for > 10.5 years and SBP > 140 mm Hg.

Abstract
Aims The prevalence of asymptomatic coronary artery disease (CAD) in type 2 diabetes (T2D) is unclear. We investigated the extent and prevalence of asymptomatic CAD in T2D patients by utilizing invasive coronary angiography (ICA) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), and whether CAD progression, evaluated by ICA, could be modulated with a multi-intervention to reduce cardiovascular (CV) risk. Methods Fifty-six T2D patients with ≥ 1 additional CV risk factor participated in a 2 year randomized controlled study comparing hospital-based multi-intervention (multi, n = 30) versus standard care (stand, n = 26), with a pre-planned follow-up at year seven. They underwent ICA at baseline and both ICA and IVUS at year seven. ICA was described by conventional CAD severity and extent scores. IVUS was described by maximal intimal thickness (MIT), percent and total atheroma volume and compared with individuals without T2D and CAD (heart transplant donors who had IVUS performed 7–11 weeks post-transplant, n = 147). Results Despite CV risk reduction in multi after 2 years intervention, there was no between-group difference in the progression of CAD at year seven. Overall, the prevalence of CAD defined by MIT ≥ 0.5 mm in the T2DM subjects was 84%, and as compared to the non-T2DM controls there was a significantly higher atheroma burden (mean MIT, PAV and TAV in the T2D population were 0.75 ± 0.27 mm, 33.8 ± 9.8% and 277.0 ± 137.3 mm3 as compared to 0.41 ± 0.19 mm, 17.8 ± 7.3% and 134.9 ± 100.6 mm3 in the reference population). Conclusion We demonstrated that a 2 year multi-intervention, despite improvement in CV risk factors, did not influence angiographic progression of CAD. Further, IVUS revealed that the prevalence of asymptomatic CAD in T2D patients is high, suggesting a need for a broader residual CV risk management using alternative approaches.

Predictive value of coronary calcifications for future cardiac events in asymptomatic patients: underestimation of risk in asymptomatic smokers. Int J Cardiovasc Imaging 2019; 35:1387-1393.

Abstract
Coronary calcification (CAC) is an established marker for coronary atherosclerosis and has a highly specific predictive value for cardiovascular events. This study aimed to determine the predictive value in the specific group of asymptomatic smokers in comparison to non-smokers. We included 1432 asymptomatic individuals (575 women, 857 men, age 59.2 ± 7.7 years.) in this study. Coronary calcification was calculated by multi-slice computed tomography following a standardized protocol including calcium score (CS). Coronary risk factors were determined at inclusion. After mean observation time of 76.3 ± 8.5 months the patients were contacted and evaluated for cardiovascular events (myocardial infarction, cardiac death and revascularisation). Mean CS was 231 ± 175 in smokers and 239 ± 188 in non-smokers. Cardiovascular events were found in 14.9% of our patients and there were significantly more events in smokers (119 events, 8.3%) than in non-smokers (94 events, 6.6%, p = 0.001). CS > 400 showed a hazard ratio for future cardiac events of 5.1 (95% CI 4.3-7.6) in smokers and 4.4 (95% CI 3.4-6.2) in non-smokers, p = 0.01. Also in smokers determination of CAC is a valuable predictor of future cardiovascular events. In our study smokers showed throughout all score groups a significantly higher risk compared to non-smokers with equal CS. Therefore, CS may underestimate the risk for future cardiac events in smokers compared to non-smokers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The extent and relation of multisite atherosclerosis to cardiovascular disease (CVD) in metabolic syndrome (MetS) and diabetes (DM) are not well documented. We examined the extent of multisite atherosclerosis and its prognostic value for CVD events in MetS and DM. METHODS In CVD-free subjects from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis, multisite atherosclerosis was measured as: (1) the number of arterial beds involved (coronary calcium>0, abdominal aortic calcium>0, carotid intima-media thickness ≥1 mm and ankle brachial index<1 or ≥1.4); (2) a composite score summing the quartile rank for each atherosclerosis measure. Hazard ratios (HRs) and c-statistics were calculated for incident CVD and coronary heart disease (CHD) over 10.6 years. RESULTS Of 1675 individuals (mean age 64 years, 51% male), 33.4% had MetS and 15.9% had DM. The number of atherosclerotic sites was higher in those with DM (mean ± SD = 1.67 ± 1.15) and MetS (1.49 ± 1.12) versus neither MetS/DM (1.09 ± 1.09) (p < 0.0001). CVD rates per 1000 person-years ranged from 3.5, 8.2, and 10.0 in those with 0 sites positive to 35.1, 79.6 and 103.4 in those with 4 sites positive among neither DM/MetS, MetS and DM groups, respectively. HRs (95% CI) for CVD comparing those with 4 vs. 0 atherosclerotic sites were 4.0 (0.8-19.1), 4.9 (2.0-12.0), and 14.4 (3.6-57.6), respectively. C-statistics adding multisite atherosclerosis measures increased over models without the measures and with CIMT or ABI but not CAC. CONCLUSIONS Multisite atherosclerosis is greater with MetS or DM, and predicts CVD and CHD events. Risk prediction is improved over CIMT and ABI but not CAC.

Abstract
Endothelial dysfunction is common in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and is associated with atherosclerotic disease. This study aimed to determine prognostic factors for endothelial dysfunction and identify relationships between reactive hyperemia index (RHI) score, clinically relevant coronary artery disease (>50% stenosis), and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in patients with T2DM. Endothelial function was assessed using peripheral arterial tonometry and correlated with patient characteristics and cardiovascular outcomes during a median follow-up of 22.8 months. Among 235 patients with a median duration of T2DM of 13 years, mean (standard deviation) RHI score was 2.00 (0.76). Serum low- and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels positively (P = .004) and negatively (P = .02) predicted RHI score, respectively. Median coronary artery calcium (CAC) score was 109 Agatston units, but no correlation between CAC and RHI scores was observed. The RHI score did not predict the number or severity of coronary plaques identified using computed tomography coronary angiography. Additionally, there was no association between RHI score and the risk of an MACE during follow-up. Overall, endothelial function was not predictive of CAC score, extent, and severity of coronary plaque or MACEs and did not demonstrate utility in cardiovascular risk stratifying patients with T2DM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Detection of subclinical cardiovascular disease (CVD) has significant impact on the management of type 2 diabetes. We examined whether the assessment of diabetic retinopathy (DR) is useful for identifying patients at a higher risk of having silent CVD. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Prospective case-control study comprising 200 type 2 diabetic subjects without history of clinical CVD and 60 age-matched non-diabetic subjects. The presence of subclinical CVD was examined using two parameters: (1) calcium coronary score (CACs); (2) composite of CACs >400 UA, carotid plaque ≥3 mm, carotid intima-media thickness ratio >1, or the presence of ECG changes suggestive of previous asymptomatic myocardial infarction. In addition, coronary angio-CT was performed. DR was assessed by slit-lamp biomicroscopy and retinography. RESULTS Type 2 diabetic subjects presented higher CACs than non-diabetic control subjects (p<0.01). Age, male gender, and the presence of DR were independently related to CACs >400 (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) 0.76). In addition, an inverse relationship was observed between the degree of DR and CACs <10 AU. The variables independently associated with the composite measurement of subclinical CVD were age, diabetes duration, the glomerular filtration rate, microalbuminuria, and the presence of DR (AUROC 0.71). In addition, a relationship (p<0.01) was observed between the presence and degree of DR and coronary stenosis. CONCLUSIONS The presence and degree of DR is independently associated with subclinical CVD in type 2 diabetic patients. Our results lead us to propose a rationalized screening for coronary artery disease in type 2 diabetes based on prioritizing patients with DR, particularly those with moderate-severe degree.
