J Clin Med 2023; 12:7154. [PMID: 38002766 PMCID: PMC10671909 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12227154] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2023] [Revised: 11/02/2023] [Accepted: 11/15/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of inert gas rebreathing for the non-invasive cardiac output measurement has produced measurements comparable to those obtained by various other methods. However, there are no guidelines for the inert gas rebreathing method during a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET). In addition, there is also a lack of specific standards for assessing the non-invasive measurement of cardiac output during CPET, both for healthy patients and those suffering from diseases and conditions. AIM This systematic review aims to describe the use of IGR for a non-invasive assessment of cardiac output during cardiopulmonary exercise testing and, based on the information extracted, to identify a proposed CPET report that includes an assessment of the cardiac output using the IGR method. METHODS This systematic review was conducted by PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analyses) guidelines. PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases were searched from inception until 29 December 2022. The primary search returned 261 articles, of which 47 studies met the inclusion criteria for this review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS This systematic review provides a comprehensive description of protocols, indications, technical details, and proposed reporting standards for a non-invasive cardiac output assessment using IGR during CPET. It highlights the need for standardized approaches to CPET and identifies gaps in the literature. The review critically analyzes the strengths and limitations of the studies included and offers recommendations for future research by proposing a combined report from CPET-IGR along with its clinical application.

Abstract
Despite recent advances in chronic heart failure (HF) management, the prognosis of HF patients is poor. This highlights the need for researching new drugs targeting, beyond neurohumoral and hemodynamic modulation approach, such as cardiomyocyte metabolism, myocardial interstitium, intracellular regulation and NO-sGC pathway. In this review we report main novelties on new possible pharmacological targets for HF therapy, mainly on new drugs acting on cardiac metabolism, GCs-cGMP pathway, mitochondrial function and intracellular calcium dysregulation.

Abstract
Evaluation of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) usage in heart failure (HF) patients with or without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) could be proven to be a critical breakthrough in treatment options available for these patients. Our study focuses on understanding the safety and efficacy of GLP-1 RAs in this patient population by pooling the data from 9 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comprising 871 subjects. As compared with the placebo, GLP-1 RAs did not improve major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) which include cardiovascular (CV) mortality and heart failure (HF) hospitalizations, our primary outcome. CV mortality (RR = 1.03, 95% CI = 0.56-1.88, P = 0.92) and HF hospitalizations (RR = 1.18, 95%CI = 0.93-1.51, P = 0.18). Similarly, GLP-1 RAs did not improve our secondary findings of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and 6-minute walk test (6MWT). LVEF (RR = 1.96, 95%CI = -0.16-4.07, P = 0.07) or 6 MWT (RR = 8.43, 95% CI = -2.69-19.56, P = 0.14). This meta-analysis shows that GLP-1 RAs do not improve cardiovascular outcomes in HF patients with or without T2DM.

Effect of Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists on Prognosis of Heart Failure and Cardiac Function: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials. Clin Ther 2023; 45:17-30. [PMID: 36604209 DOI: 10.1016/j.clinthera.2022.12.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2022] [Revised: 12/06/2022] [Accepted: 12/09/2022] [Indexed: 01/04/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Whether an antidiabetic drug, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA), could improve the prognosis of heart failure and cardiac function remains controversial. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials to explore the influence of GLP-1RAs on heart failure in patients regardless of diabetes diagnosis. METHODS Literature in English from the PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases was searched from inception to July 2022. The study aim was to identify published, randomized, placebo-controlled trials testing GLP-1RAs in patients with or without diabetes. Outcomes were heart failure hospitalization, cardiac function, and structure measures. FINDINGS Twenty-two randomized controlled trials involving 61,412 patients are included in the meta-analysis. Overall, compared with the placebo group, GLP-1RA treatment could not significantly decrease heart failure hospitalization in patients with a history of heart failure (hazard ratio [HR], 1.07; 95% CI, 0.91 to 1.25; P = 0.422). Six-minute walking test distances (WMD, 19.08 m; 95% CI, 4.81 to 33.36; P = 0.01), E-wave (SMD, -0.40; 95% CI, -0.60 to -0.20; P < 0.001), early diastolic to late diastolic velocities ratio (WMD, -0.10; 95% CI, -0.18 to -0.02; P = 0.01), mitral inflow E velocity to tissue Doppler e' ratio (WMD, -0.97; 95% CI, -1.54 to -0.41; P < 0.001), and E-wave deceleration time (WMD, -9.96 milliseconds; 95% CI, -18.52 to -1.41; P = 0.02) increased significantly after administration of GLP-1RAs. However, GLP-1RAs do not significantly influence N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide levels (WMD, -20.02 pg/mL; 95% CI, -53.12 to 13.08; P = 0.24), Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire quality of life scores (WMD, -1.08; 95% CI, -3.99 to 1.84; P = 0.47), or left ventricular ejection fractions (WMD, -0.37%; 95% CI, -1.19 to 0.46; P = 0.38). IMPLICATIONS GLP-1RAs did not reduce heart failure readmissions in patients with a history of heart failure and elevated N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide levels. Thus, the prognosis of heart failure was not improved, although GLP-1RAs did significantly improve left ventricular diastolic function in patients. PROSPERO identifier: CRD42021226231.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study intended to explore the hypoglycemic and cardioprotective effects of 8-week aerobic interval training combined with liraglutide and elucidate the underlying mechanisms. METHOD Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 5 groups - normal control group (CON), diabetic cardiomyopathy group (DCM), high-dose liraglutide group (DH), low-dose liraglutide group (DL), and aerobic interval training combined with liraglutide group (DLE). High-fat diet and streptozotocin (STZ) were used to induce the DCM model, and both the liraglutide administration group and combination therapy group allocated to 8 weeks of either liraglutide or liraglutide and exercise intervention. Cardiac functions were analyzed by electrocardiography. Blood biochemical parameters were measured to judge glycemic control conditions. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and Sirus red staining was used to identify cardiac morphology and collagen accumulation, respectively. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) were determined by enzymatic methods. The mRNA expression of myocardial remodeling genes (BNP, GSK3β, α-MHC, β-MHC and PPARα) and the protein expression of GLP-1, GLP-1R were analyzed. RESULTS DCM rats developed hyperglycemia, impaired cardiac function with accumulation of AGEs and collagen (P < 0.05). The development of hyperglycemia and cardiac dysfunction was significantly attenuated with all interventions, as reduced cardiac fibrosis and improved cardiac function (P < 0.05). Cardiac remodeling genes were normalized after all interventions, these positive modifications were due to increased GLP-1 and GLP-1R expression in DCM heart (P < 0.05). Liraglutide combined with AIT significantly increased the diameters of cardiomyocytes, increased the α-MHC expressionx, reduced PPARαexpression and reduced the fluctuation of blood glucose level, which showed the safety and effective of medicine combined with exercise. CONCLUSION Liraglutide combined with AIT intervention normalized blood glucose alleviates myocardial fibrosis and improves cardiac contractile function in DCM rats, supporting the efficacy and safety of the combination therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW We review the clinical benefits of altering myocardial substrate metabolism in heart failure. RECENT FINDINGS Modulation of cardiac substrates (fatty acid, glucose, or ketone metabolism) offers a wide range of therapeutic possibilities which may be applicable to heart failure. Augmenting ketone oxidation seems to offer great promise as a new therapeutic modality in heart failure. The heart has long been recognized as metabolic omnivore, meaning it can utilize a variety of energy substrates to maintain adequate ATP production. The adult heart uses fatty acid as a major fuel source, but it can also derive energy from other substrates including glucose and ketone, and to some extent pyruvate, lactate, and amino acids. However, cardiomyocytes of the failing heart endure remarkable metabolic remodeling including a shift in substrate utilization and reduced ATP production, which account for cardiac remodeling and dysfunction. Research to understand the implication of myocardial metabolic perturbation in heart failure has grown in recent years, and this has raised interest in targeting myocardial substrate metabolism for heart failure therapy. Due to the interdependency between different pathways, the main therapeutic metabolic approaches include inhibiting fatty acid uptake/fatty acid oxidation, reducing circulating fatty acid levels, increasing glucose oxidation, and augmenting ketone oxidation.

Can glucose-lowering medications improve outcomes in non-diabetic heart failure patients? A Bayesian network meta-analysis. ESC Heart Fail 2022; 9:1338-1350.

Abstract
AIMS The cardioprotective effects of glucose-lowering medications in diabetic patients with heart failure (HF) are well known. Several large randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have recently suggested that the cardioprotective effects of glucose-lowering medications extend to HF patients regardless of diabetic status. The aim of this study was to conduct a Bayesian network meta-analysis to evaluate the impact of various glucose-lowering medications on the outcomes of non-diabetic HF patients. METHODS AND RESULTS Medline and Embase were searched for RCTs investigating the use of glucose-lowering medications in non-diabetic HF patients in August 2021. Studies were included in accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and data were extracted with a pre-defined datasheet. Primary outcomes include serum N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and maximal oxygen consumption (PVO2 ). A Bayesian network meta-analysis was performed to compare the effectiveness of different classes of glucose-lowering medications in improving HF outcomes. Risk-of-bias was assessed using Cochrane Risk-of-Bias tool 2.0 for randomized trials (ROB2). Seven RCTs involving 2897 patients were included. Sodium-glucose transporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) was the most favourable in lowering NT-proBNP, with the significant reduction in NT-proBNP when compared with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RA) [mean differences (MD): -229.59 pg/mL, 95%-credible intervals (95%-CrI): -238.31 to -220.91], metformin (MD: -237.15 pg/mL, 95%-CrI: -256.19 to -218.14), and placebo (MD: -228.00 pg/mL, 95%-CrI: -233.99 to -221.99). SGLT2i was more effective in improving LVEF for HF with reduced ejection fraction patients relative to GLP1-RA (MD: 8.09%, 95%-CrI: 6.30 to 9.88) and placebo (MD: 6.10%, 95%-CrI: 4.37 to 7.84). SGLT2i and GLP1-RA were more favourable to placebo in improving PVO2 , with significant increase of PVO2 at a MD of 1.60 mL/kg/min (95%-CrI: 0.63 to 2.57) and 0.86 mL/kg/min (95%-CrI: 0.66 to 1.06), respectively. All three drugs had comparable safety profiles when compared with placebo. CONCLUSIONS This Bayesian network meta-analysis demonstrated that SGLT2i, when compared with GLP1-RA and metformin, was superior in improving LVEF in HF with reduced ejection fraction patients, as well as improving PVO2 and NT-proBNP in non-diabetic HF patients. Further large-scale prospective studies are needed to confirm these preliminary findings.

Abstract
The impressive results of recent clinical trials with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1Ra) and sodium glucose transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) in terms of cardiovascular protection prompted a huge interest in these agents for heart failure (HF) prevention and treatment. While both classes show positive effects on composite cardiovascular endpoints (i.e. 3P MACE), their actions on the cardiac function and structure, as well as on volume regulation, and their impact on HF-related events have not been systematically evaluated and compared. In this narrative review, we summarize and critically interpret the available evidence emerging from clinical studies. While chronic exposure to GLP-1Ra appears to be essentially neutral on both systolic and diastolic function, irrespective of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), a beneficial impact of SGLT-2i is consistently detectable for both systolic and diastolic function parameters in subjects with diabetes with and without HF, with a gradient proportional to the severity of baseline dysfunction. SGLT-2i have a clinically significant impact in terms of HF hospitalization prevention in subjects at high and very high cardiovascular risk both with and without type 2 diabetes (T2D) or HF, while GLP-1Ra have been proven to be safe (and marginally beneficial) in subjects with T2D without HF. We suggest that the role of the kidney is crucial for the effect of SGLT-2i on the clinical outcomes not only because these drugs slow-down the time-dependent decline of kidney function and enhance the response to diuretics, but also because they attenuate the meal-related anti-natriuretic pressure (lowering postprandial hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia and preventing proximal sodium reabsorption), which would reduce the individual sensitivity to day-to-day variations in dietary sodium intake.

Diabetes Obes Metab 2021; 23 Suppl 3:5-29. [PMID: 34310013 DOI: 10.1111/dom.14496] [Citation(s) in RCA: 135] [Impact Index Per Article: 45.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2021] [Revised: 07/13/2021] [Accepted: 07/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
The incretin hormones glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) have their main physiological role in augmenting insulin secretion after their nutrient-induced secretion from the gut. A functioning entero-insular (gut-endocrine pancreas) axis is essential for the maintenance of a normal glucose tolerance. This is exemplified by the incretin effect (greater insulin secretory response to oral as compared to "isoglycaemic" intravenous glucose administration due to the secretion and action of incretin hormones). GIP and GLP-1 have additive effects on insulin secretion. Local production of GIP and/or GLP-1 in islet α-cells (instead of enteroendocrine K and L cells) has been observed, and its significance is still unclear. GLP-1 suppresses, and GIP increases glucagon secretion, both in a glucose-dependent manner. GIP plays a greater physiological role as an incretin. In type 2-diabetic patients, the incretin effect is reduced despite more or less normal secretion of GIP and GLP-1. While insulinotropic effects of GLP-1 are only slightly impaired in type 2 diabetes, GIP has lost much of its acute insulinotropic activity in type 2 diabetes, for largely unknown reasons. Besides their role in glucose homoeostasis, the incretin hormones GIP and GLP-1 have additional biological functions: GLP-1 at pharmacological concentrations reduces appetite, food intake, and-in the long run-body weight, and a similar role is evolving for GIP, at least in animal studies. Human studies, however, do not confirm these findings. GIP, but not GLP-1 increases triglyceride storage in white adipose tissue not only through stimulating insulin secretion, but also by interacting with regional blood vessels and GIP receptors. GIP, and to a lesser degree GLP-1, play a role in bone remodelling. GLP-1, but not GIP slows gastric emptying, which reduces post-meal glycaemic increments. For both GIP and GLP-1, beneficial effects on cardiovascular complications and neurodegenerative central nervous system (CNS) disorders have been observed, pointing to therapeutic potential over and above improving diabetes complications. The recent finding that GIP/GLP-1 receptor co-agonists like tirzepatide have superior efficacy compared to selective GLP-1 receptor agonists with respect to glycaemic control as well as body weight has renewed interest in GIP, which previously was thought to be without any therapeutic potential. One focus of this research is into the long-term interaction of GIP and GLP-1 receptor signalling. A GLP-1 receptor antagonist (exendin [9-39]) and, more recently, a GIP receptor agonist (GIP [3-30] NH2 ) and, hopefully, longer-acting GIP receptor agonists for human use will be helpful tools to shed light on the open questions. A detailed knowledge of incretin physiology and pathophysiology will be a prerequisite for designing more effective incretin-based diabetes drugs.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is highly prevalent and associated with a 2-fold increased mortality, mostly explained by cardiovascular diseases. Trial evidence on older glucose-lowering agents such as metformin and sulfonylureas is limited in terms of cardiovascular efficacy. Since 2008, after rosiglitazone was observed to increase the risk of myocardial infarction and heart failure (HF), cardiovascular outcome trials (CVOT) have been required by regulators for licensing new glucose-lowering agents. In the following CVOTs, dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors (DPP4i) have been shown to be safe but not to improve morbidity/mortality, except for saxagliptin which increased the risk of HF. Several glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-Ra) and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have been demonstrated to reduce the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. SGLT2i have shown a class effect for the reduction in risk of HF events in patients with T2DM, leading to trials testing their efficacy/safety in HF regardless of T2DM. In the DAPA-HF and the EMPEROR-Reduced trials dapagliflozin and empagliflozin, respectively, improved cardiovascular mortality/morbidity in patients with HF and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), with and without T2DM. Therefore, these drugs are now key part of HFrEF pharmacotherapy. In the SOLOIST-WHF, sotagliflozin reduced cardiovascular mortality/morbidity in patients with T2DM and a recent acute episode of HF regardless of EF. The DELIVER and the EMPEROR-Preserved are testing dapagliflozin and empagliflozin, respectively, in patients with HF with mildly reduced and preserved EF. A strong renal protective role of SGLT2i has also emerged in trials enrolling patients with and without T2DM.

Efficacy and safety of liraglutide in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients complicated with coronary artery disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Pharmacol Res 2021; 171:105765. [PMID: 34252552 DOI: 10.1016/j.phrs.2021.105765] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2021] [Revised: 05/14/2021] [Accepted: 07/07/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of liraglutide in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) complicated with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), we searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chinese VIP Information (VIP), Wanfang Database and Chinese Biomedical Literature database (CBM) for relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) from inception to 7 October 2020. A total of 18 RCTs including 1557 patients with T2DM complicated with CAD were included. Meta-analysis revealed liraglutide reduced hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) (WMD = -0.67; 95% CI[-0.94 to -0.39]; P < 0.00001), fasting plasma glucose (FPG) (WMD = -0.80; 95% CI[-1.06 to -0.54]; P < 0.00001) and 2 h plasma glucose (2hPG) (WMD = -1.64; 95% CI[-2.12 to -1.16]; P<0.00001); improved left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) (WMD = 4.79; 95% CI[4.08-5.51]; P < 0.00001), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) (WMD = -5.70; 95% CI[-6.67 to -4.72]; P<0.00001), E/A (WMD = 0.13; 95% CI[0.11-0.14]; P < 0.00001) and left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPWT) (WMD = -1.86; 95% CI[-2.16 to -1.55]; P < 0.00001); reduced total cholesterol (TC) (WMD = -0.48; 95% CI[-0.56 to -0.39]; P < 0.00001), triglycerides (TG) (WMD = -0.42; 95% CI[-0.59 to -0.26]; P < 0.00001), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (WMD = -0.41; 95% CI[-0.55 to -0.26]; P < 0.00001), and increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (WMD = -0.19; 95% CI[0.13-0.24]; P = 0.0005). As for safety assessment, liraglutide did not increase the incidence of hypoglycemia (OR = 0.75, 95% CI[0.32-1.77], P = 0.51) and gastrointestinal (OR = 1.15, 95% CI[0.72-1.85], P = 0.55) events. Consequently, liraglutide had favorable effects on blood glucose, cardiac function, lipid profile and an acceptable safety profile.

[PMID: 31969144 PMCID: PMC6977298 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-020-0987-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2019] [Accepted: 01/11/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although a variety of antidiabetic drugs have significant protective action on the cardiovascular system, it is still unclear which antidiabetic drugs can improve ventricular remodeling and fundamentally delay the process of heart failure. The purpose of this network meta-analysis is to compare the efficacy of sodium glucose cotransporter type 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists, metformin (MET), sulfonylurea (SU) and thiazolidinediones (TZDs) in improving left ventricular (LV) remodeling in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and/or cardiovascular disease (CVD). METHODS We searched articles published before October 18, 2019, regardless of language or data, in 4 electronic databases: PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library and Web of Science. We included randomized controlled trials in this network meta-analysis, as well as a small number of cohort studies. The differences in the mean changes in left ventricular echocardiographic parameters between the treatment group and control group were evaluated. RESULTS The difference in the mean change in LV ejection fraction (LVEF) between GLP-1 agonists and placebo in treatment effect was greater than zero (MD = 2.04% [0.64%, 3.43%]); similar results were observed for the difference in the mean change in LV end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) between SGLT-2 inhibitors and placebo (MD = - 3.3 mm [5.31, - 5.29]), the difference in the mean change in LV end-systolic volume (LVESV) between GLP-1 agonists and placebo (MD = - 4.39 ml [- 8.09, - 0.7]); the difference in the mean change in E/e' between GLP-1 agonists and placebo (MD = - 1.05[- 1.78, - 0.32]); and the difference in the mean change in E/e' between SGLT-2 inhibitors and placebo (MD = - 1.91[- 3.39, - 0.43]). CONCLUSIONS GLP-1 agonists are more significantly associated with improved LVEF, LVESV and E/e', SGLT-2 inhibitors are more significantly associated with improved LVEDD and E/e', and DPP-4 inhibitors are more strongly associated with a negative impact on LV end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) than are placebos. SGLT-2 inhibitors are superior to other drugs in pairwise comparisons.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incretin hormone glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) has been shown to protect against lethal ischemia-reperfusion injury in animal models and against nonlethal ischemia reperfusion injury in humans. Furthermore, GLP-1 receptor agonists have been shown to reduce major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in large-scale studies. We sought to investigate whether GLP-1 reduced percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)-associated myocardial infarction (PMI) during elective PCI. METHODS The study was a randomized, double-blind controlled trial in which patients undergoing elective PCI received an intravenous infusion of either GLP-1 at 1.2 pmol/kg/min or matched 0.9% saline placebo before and during the procedure. Randomization was performed in 1:1 fashion, with stratification for diabetes mellitus. Six-hour cardiac troponin I (cTnI) was measured with a primary end point of PMI defined as rise ≫×5 upper limit of normal (280 ng/L). Secondary end points included cTnI rise and MACCE at 12 months. RESULTS A total of 192 patients were randomized with 152 (79%) male and a mean age of 68.1 ± 8.9 years. No significant differences in patient demographics were noted between the groups. There was no difference in the rate of PMI between GLP-1 and placebo (9 [9.8%] vs 8 [8.3%], P = 1.0) or in the secondary end points of difference in median cTnI between groups (9.5 [0-88.5] vs 20 [0-58.5] ng/L, P = .25) and MACCE at 12 months (7 [7.3%] vs 9 [9.4%], P = .61). CONCLUSIONS In this randomized, placebo-controlled trial, GLP-1 did not reduce the low incidence of PMI or abrogate biomarker rise during elective PCI, nor did it influence the 12-month MACCE rate which also remained low.

Abstract
PURPOSE Published evidence regarding the role of noninsulin antidiabetic therapies in glycemic management of hospitalized patients with diabetes mellitus is reviewed. SUMMARY The American Diabetes Association recommends against the routine use of noninsulin antidiabetic therapies during hospitalization and supports insulin use instead. There are significant risks associated with insulin therapy, including hypoglycemia, and use of alternative therapies may be considered in hospitalized patients. A MEDLINE literature search was conducted to find articles on studies evaluating the use of noninsulin antidiabetic therapies in the inpatient setting; all full-text English-language publications presenting observational and randomized clinical trial data on the topic of interest were considered for inclusion in the review, with 9 publications selected for review. The majority of the reviewed research focused on incretin-based therapies, and favorable safety and efficacy outcomes were reported with the use of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors. The available evidence indicates that the use of other noninsulin medications, including glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and sulfonylureas, to achieve and maintain glycemic control in the inpatient setting may be limited by adverse effects. CONCLUSION Optimal glycemic control in hospitalized patients with diabetes is necessary to avoid adverse effects. Insulin therapy is currently the primary medication recommended for this patient population. DPP-4 inhibitors have been demonstrated to be safe and effective for use in the inpatient setting in patients with well-controlled diabetes. Further research is needed to help define the role of noninsulin medications in the inpatient setting.

Effect of liraglutide on body weight and microvascular function in non-diabetic overweight women with coronary microvascular dysfunction. Int J Cardiol 2019; 283:28-34. [PMID: 30773266 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2018.12.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2018] [Revised: 10/27/2018] [Accepted: 12/03/2018] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes and CMD is a hallmark of type 2 diabetes. Liraglutide improves cardiovascular prognosis through partly unknown mechanisms. We hypothesized that treatment with liraglutide improves CMD and symptoms through weight loss, in non-diabetic overweight patients with angina and no obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS We included 33 non-diabetic overweight women (BMI > 25) with CMD (Coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR) ≤2.5), angina symptoms and no obstructive CAD, in an open-label proof-of-concept study. The protocol included a control period of 5 weeks followed by an intervention period with liraglutide aiming at 3 mg daily for 12 weeks. Participants were investigated before and after the control period and again 1-2 weeks after last liraglutide dose. Primary outcomes were change in CFVR and change in angina symptoms measured by the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) in the intervention period compared with the control period. (clinicaltrials.gov, NCT02602600, and ethically approved). RESULTS Twenty-nine participants completed the study. Liraglutide treatment led to a significant weight loss (mean 6.03 kg (95%CI: 5.22;6.84)) and decrease in systolic blood pressure (mean 10.95 mm Hg (95%CI: 4.60;17.30)). Baseline median CFVR was 2.30 (IQR 1.91;2.51) and remained unchanged after liraglutide treatment (mean change 0.07 (95%CI: -0.07;0.21)). There were no effects on symptoms measured by SAQ or parameters of left ventricular systolic as well as diastolic function. CONCLUSIONS Treatment with liraglutide led to significant weight loss and lowering of blood pressure with no concomitant symptoms alleviation during treatment and no improvement in coronary microvascular function.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this pilot study was to determine if a definitive clinical trial of thiamine supplementation was warranted in patients with acute heart failure. We hypothesized that thiamine, when added to standard of care, would improve dyspnea (primary outcome) in hospitalized patients with acute heart failure. Peak expiratory flow rate, type B natriuretic peptide, free fatty acids, glucose, hospital length of stay, as well as 30-day rehospitalization and mortality were pre-planned secondary outcome measures. Methods This was a blinded experimental study at two urban academic hospitals. Consecutive patients admitted from the Emergency Department with a primary diagnosis of acute heart failure were recruited over 2 years. Patients on a daily dietary supplement were excluded. Randomization was stratified by type B natriuretic peptide and diabetes medication categories. Subjects received study drug (100 mg thiamine or placebo) in the evening of their first and second day. Outcome measures were obtained 8 h after study drug infusion. Dyspnea was measured on a 100-mm visual analog scale sitting up on oxygen, sitting up off oxygen, and lying supine off oxygen with 0 indicating no dyspnea. Data were analyzed using mixed-models as well as linear, negative binomial and logistic regression models to assess the impact of group on outcome measures. Results Of 130 subjects randomized, 118 had evaluable data (55 in the control and 63 in the treatment groups), 89% in both groups were adjudicated to have primarily AHF. Thiamine values increased significantly in the treatment group and were unchanged in the control group. One patient had thiamine deficiency. Only dyspnea measured sitting upright on oxygen differed significantly by group over time. No change was found for the other measures of dyspnea and all of the secondary measures. Conclusions In mild-moderate acute heart failure patients without thiamine deficiency, a standard dosing regimen of thiamine did not improve dyspnea, biomarkers, or other clinical parameters. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT00680706, May 20, 2008 (retrospectively registered).

Abstract
GLP-1 protects against ischemic left ventricular dysfunction after serial coronary balloon occlusion of the left anterior descending artery This study assessed whether serial right coronary artery balloon occlusion affected the right ventricle in a similar fashion using a conductance catheter method Serial balloon occlusion of the right coronary artery causes stunning and cumulative ischemic dysfunction in the right ventricle GLP-1 did not protect against stunning and cumulative ischemic dysfunction in the right ventricle
Stunning and cumulative ischemic dysfunction occur in the left ventricle with coronary balloon occlusion. Glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 protects the left ventricle against this dysfunction. This study used a conductance catheter method to evaluate whether the right ventricle (RV) developed similar dysfunction during right coronary artery balloon occlusion and whether GLP-1 was protective. In this study, the RV underwent significant stunning and cumulative ischemic dysfunction with right coronary artery balloon occlusion. However, GLP-1 did not protect the RV against this dysfunction when infused after balloon occlusion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Hyperglycemia is common in hospitalized patients with and without prior history of diabetes and is an independent marker of morbidity and mortality in critically and noncritically ill patients. Tight glycemic control using insulin has been shown to reduce cardiac morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients, but it also results in hypoglycemic episodes, which have been linked to poor outcomes. Thus, alternative treatment options that can normalize blood glucose levels without undue hypoglycemia are being sought. Incretin-based therapies, such as glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 receptor agonists (RAs) and dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-4 inhibitors, may have this potential. METHODS A PubMed database was searched to find literature describing the use of incretins in hospital settings. Title searches included the terms "diabetes" (care, management, treatment), "hospital," "inpatient," "hypoglycemia," "hyperglycemia," "glycemic," "incretin," "dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor," "glucagon-like peptide-1," and "glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist." RESULTS The preliminary research experience with native GLP-1 therapy has shown promise, achieving improved glycemic control with a low risk of hypoglycemia, counteracting the hyperglycemic effects of stress hormones, and improving cardiac function in patients with heart failure and acute ischemia. Large, randomized controlled clinical trials are necessary to determine whether these favorable results will extend to the use of GLP-1 RAs and DPP-4 inhibitors. CONCLUSIONS This review offers hospitalist physicians and healthcare providers involved in inpatient diabetes care a pathophysiologic-based approach for the use of incretin agents in patients with hyperglycemia and diabetes, as well as a summary of benefits and concerns of insulin and incretin-based therapy in the hospital setting.

After the LEADER trial and SUSTAIN-6, how do we explain the cardiovascular benefits of some GLP-1 receptor agonists? DIABETES & METABOLISM 2018; 43 Suppl 1:2S3-2S12.

Abstract
Recent cardiovascular outcome trials - the LEADER with liragutide and SUSTAIN-6 with semaglutide - have shown significant reductions of major cardiovascular (CV) events with these glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 receptor agonists. Progressive separation of the treatment and placebo curves, starting clearly between 12 and 18 months of the trial period, and significant reductions in the risk of myocardial infarction and stroke, indicate that the beneficial CV effects observed with GLP-1 receptor agonists could be due to an antiatherogenic effect. So far, the reasons for such an effect of GLP-1 receptor agonists have not been entirely clear, although several hypotheses may be proposed. As the reductions in glycated haemoglobin and systolic blood pressure (SBP) in these trials were modest, and both trials lasted only a short period of time, reductions in hyperglycaemia and SBP are unlikely to be involved in the beneficial CV effects of GLP-1 receptor agonists. On the other hand, their effect on lipids and, in particular, the dramatic decrease in postprandial hypertriglyceridaemia may explain their beneficial CV actions. Reduction of body weight, including a significant decrease in visceral fat in patients using GLP-1 receptor agonists, may also have beneficial CV effects by reducing chronic proatherogenic inflammation. In addition, there are in-vitro data showing a direct anti-inflammatory effect with these agents that could also be involved in their beneficial CV effects. Moreover, studies in humans have shown significant beneficial effects on ischaemic myocardium after a very short treatment period, suggesting a direct effect of GLP-1 receptor agonists on myocardium, although the precise mechanism remains unclear. Finally, as a reduction in insulin resistance has been associated with a decrease in CV risk, it cannot be ruled out that the lowering of insulin resistance induced by GLP-1 receptor agonists might also be involved in their beneficial CV actions.

Abstract
The prevalence of heart failure (HF) is increasing in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), and glucose-lowering agents have distinctive effects on the risk of developing HF that requires hospitalization. Such an increased risk has been consistently reported with thiazolidinediones (glitazones) and perhaps also with the dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-4 inhibitor saxagliptin (at least in SAVOR - TIMI 53), whereas a markedly decreased risk was highlighted with the sodium - glucose cotransporter type 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor empagliflozin in EMPA-REG OUTCOME. Yet, the effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) on myocardial function remain controversial. Whereas some promising observations have been reported in various animal models, the effects of GLP-1RAs on myocardial function in humans are more heterogeneous, while the positive effect on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), if any, appears to be inconsistent and rather modest in most patients with HF. However, no increased risk of hospitalization for HF has been reported with GLP-1RAs in meta-analyses of phase-II/III trials (exenatide, albiglutide, dulaglutide, liraglutide), demonstrating the safety of this pharmacological class, and such findings have been confirmed by three large prospective cardiovascular outcome trials (ELIXA with lixisenatide, LEADER with liraglutide and SUSTAIN-6 with semaglutide). In particular, LEADER reported a trend towards a reduction in HF hospitalization (-13%, P = 0.14), together with a significant reduction in cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in patients with T2D at risk of cardiovascular disease. These results are reassuring in the face of the somewhat negative results of the FIGHT trial, which evaluated the effects of liraglutide in patients with advanced HF and low LVEF, such that further studies and caution are now required when using this agent to treat such patients in clinical practice.

Abstract
The common ultimate pathological feature for all cardiovascular diseases, congestive heart failure (CHF), is now considered as one of the main public health burdens that is associated with grave implications. Neurohormonal systems play a critical role in cardiovascular homeostasis, pathophysiology, and cardiovascular diseases. Hormone treatments such as the newly invented dual-acting drug valsartan/sacubitril are promising candidates for CHF, in addition to the conventional medications encompassing beta receptor blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists. Clinical trials also indicate that in CHF patients with low insulin-like growth factor-1 or low thyroid hormone levels, supplemental treatment with growth hormone or thyroid hormone seems to be cardioprotective; and in CHF patients with volume overload the vasopressin antagonists can relieve the symptoms superior to loop diuretics. Furthermore, a combination of selective glucocorticoid receptor agonist and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist may be used in patients with diuretic resistance. Finally, the potential cardiovascular efficacy and safety of incretin-based therapies, testosterone or estrogen supplementation needs to be prudently evaluated in large-scale clinical studies. In this review, we briefly discuss the therapeutic effects of several key hormones in CHF.

Abstract
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors produce some beneficial and deleterious effects in diabetic patients not mediated by their glycemic lowering effects, and there is a need for better understanding of the molecular basis of these effects. They possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects with some direct vasodilatory action (animal and human trial data) that may indirectly influence heart failure (HF). Unlike GLP-1R agonists, signaling for HF adverse effects was observed with two DPP-4 inhibitors, saxagliptin and alogliptin. Accordingly, these drugs should be used with caution in heart failure patients.

Abstract
AIMS To determine the effects of glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 receptor agonists (RA) on uric acid (UA) levels and kidney UA clearance. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study involved post-hoc analyses of 4 controlled clinical trials, which assessed actions of GLP-1RA administration on kidney physiology. The immediate effects of GLP-1RA exenatide infusion vs placebo were determined in 9 healthy overweight men (Study-A) and in 52 overweight T2DM patients (Study-B). The effects of 12 weeks of long-acting GLP-1RA liraglutide vs placebo in 36 overweight T2DM patients (Study-C) and of 8 weeks of short-acting GLP-1RA lixisenatide vs once-daily titrated insulin glulisine in 35 overweight T2DM patients (Study-D) were also examined. Plasma UA, fractional (inulin-corrected) and absolute urinary excretion of UA (UEUA ) and sodium (UENa ), and urine pH were determined. RESULTS Median baseline plasma UA level was 5.39 to 6.33 mg/dL across all studies (17%-22% of subjects were hyperuricaemic). In Study-A, exenatide infusion slightly increased plasma UA (+0.07 ± 0.02 mg/dL, P = .04), and raised absolute-UEUA (+1.58 ± 0.65 mg/min/1.73 m2 , P = .02), but did not affect fractional UEUA compared to placebo. Fractional UEUA and absolute UEUA correlated with increases in urine pH (r:0.86, P = .003 and r:0.92, P < .001, respectively). Fractional UEUA correlated with increased fractional UENa (r:0.76, P = .02). In Study-B, exenatide infusion did not affect plasma UA, but increased fractional UEUA (+0.76 ± 0.38%, P = .049) and absolute UEUA (+0.75 ± 0.27 mg/min/1.73 m2 , P = .007), compared to placebo. In regression analyses, both parameters were explained by changes in urine pH and, in part, by changes in UENa . In Study-C, liraglutide treatment did not affect plasma UA, UEUA, UENa or urine pH, compared to placebo. In Study-D, lixisenatide treatment increased UENa and urine pH from baseline, but did not affect plasma UA or UEUA . CONCLUSION Immediate exenatide infusion increases UEUA in overweight healthy men and in T2DM patients, probably by inhibiting Na+ /H+ -exchanger type-3 in the renal proximal tubule. Prolonged treatment with a long-acting or short-acting GLP-1RA does not affect plasma UA or UEUA in T2DM patients with normal plasma UA levels and at relatively low cardiovascular risk. Our results suggest that the cardio-renal benefits of GLP-1RA are not mediated through changes in UA.

Abstract
Several new glucose-lowering medications have been approved, such as dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), and sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors. Among GLP-1RAs, lixisenatide, a short-acting drug, did not show cardiovascular (CV) benefits in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) and acute coronary syndrome. Extended-release exenatide was also not significantly better for CV outcomes. By contrast, once daily liraglutide and once weekly semaglutide, both long-acting GLP-1RAs, decreased the incidence of major adverse CV events and mortality. This Review attempts to explain favorable CV results with some, but not all, GLP-1RAs, to aid in their differential prescription with the aim of further reducing the adverse CV burden of T2D.

Abstract
Over the past two decades, therapeutics for diabetes have evolved from drugs with known heart failure risk to classes with potential benefit for patients with heart failure. As many as 25 to 35 % of patients with heart failure carry a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Therefore, newer drug classes including dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GIP-1) agonists, and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors are being examined for cardiovascular safety as well as their effects on left ventricular function, quality of life, and other measures of disease progression. The purpose of this review is to summarize the existing evidence on these classes of anti-diabetic agents in patients with heart failure.

Abstract
AIM To determine whether lixisenatide, a prandial short-acting glucagon-like peptide receptor agonist (GLP-1RA), ameliorates postprandial glomerular hyperfiltration in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) compared with insulin-glulisine (iGlu). METHODS Postprandial renal haemodynamic effects of 8-week treatment with lixisenatide 20 µg vs once-daily titrated iGlu were measured in 35 overweight patients with T2DM inadequately controlled on insulin-glargine, with or without metformin [mean ± SD age 62 ± 7 years, HbA1c 8.0% ± 0.9%, estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) 85 ± 12 mL/min/1.73 m2 , median (IQR) urinary albumin/creatinine ratio 1.5 (0.9-3.0) mg/mmol]. After a standardised breakfast, GFR (primary endpoint) and effective renal plasma flow (ERPF) were determined by inulin and para-aminohippuric acid renal clearance, respectively, based on timed urine sampling. Intrarenal haemodynamic functions were estimated using Gomez equations. RESULTS Compared with iGlu, lixisenatide did not affect GFR [+0.1 mL/min/1.73 m2 (95% CI -9 to 9)], ERPF [-17 mL/min/1.73 m2 (-61 to 26)], other (intra-)renal haemodynamics or renal damage markers, but increased fractional sodium excretion [+0.25% (0.09-0.41)] and urinary pH [+0.7 (0.3-1.2)]. Plasma renin, angiotensin-II and aldosterone were unchanged. Lixisenatide and iGlu reduced HbA1c similarly, by 0.8% ± 0.1% and 0.6% ± 0.1%, respectively, while postprandial glucose was lower with lixisenatide (P = .002). Compared with iGlu, lixisenatide reduced bodyweight [-1.4 kg (-2.5 to -0.2)] and increased postprandial mean arterial pressure [+9 mm Hg (4-14)]. CONCLUSION Eight-week lixisenatide treatment does not affect postprandial (intra-)renal haemodynamics compared with iGlu when added to insulin-glargine in patients with T2DM without overt nephropathy. Prolonged lixisenatide treatment has a sustained natriuretic effect, which is in contrast to previous reports on long-acting GLP-1RA, reduces body weight and increases postprandial blood pressure compared with iGlu.

Abstract
Potentiation of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) action through selective GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonism or by prevention of enzymatic degradation by inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) promotes glycemic reduction for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus by glucose-dependent control of insulin and glucagon secretion. GLP-1R agonists also decelerate gastric emptying, reduce body weight by reduction of food intake and lower circulating lipoproteins, inflammation, and systolic blood pressure. Preclinical studies demonstrate that both GLP-1R agonists and DPP-4 inhibitors exhibit cardioprotective actions in animal models of myocardial ischemia and ventricular dysfunction through incompletely characterized mechanisms. The results of cardiovascular outcome trials in human subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus and increased cardiovascular risk have demonstrated a cardiovascular benefit (significant reduction in time to first major adverse cardiovascular event) with the GLP-1R agonists liraglutide (LEADER trial [Liraglutide Effect and Action in Diabetes: Evaluation of Cardiovascular Ourcome Results], -13%) and semaglutide (SUSTAIN-6 trial [Trial to Evaluate Cardiovascular and Other Long-term Outcomes with Semaglutide], -24%). In contrast, cardiovascular outcome trials examining the safety of the shorter-acting GLP-1R agonist lixisenatide (ELIXA trial [Evaluation of Lixisenatide in Acute Coronary Syndrom]) and the DPP-4 inhibitors saxagliptin (SAVOR-TIMI 53 trial [Saxagliptin Assessment of Vascular Outcomes Recorded in Patients With Diabetes Mellitus-Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction 53]), alogliptin (EXAMINE trial [Examination of Cardiovascular Outcomes With Alogliptin Versus Standard of Care in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Acute Coronary Syndrome]), and sitagliptin (TECOS [Trial Evaluating Cardiovascular Outcomes With Sitagliptin]) found that these agents neither increased nor decreased cardiovascular events. Here we review the cardiovascular actions of GLP-1R agonists and DPP-4 inhibitors, with a focus on the translation of mechanisms derived from preclinical studies to complementary findings in clinical studies. We highlight areas of uncertainty requiring more careful scrutiny in ongoing basic science and clinical studies. As newer more potent GLP-1R agonists and coagonists are being developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, the delineation of the potential mechanisms that underlie the cardiovascular benefit and safety of these agents have immediate relevance for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
The gastrointestinal tract - the largest endocrine network in human physiology - orchestrates signals from the external environment to maintain neural and hormonal control of homeostasis. Advances in understanding entero-endocrine cell biology in health and disease have important translational relevance. The gut-derived incretin hormone glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is secreted upon meal ingestion and controls glucose metabolism by modulating pancreatic islet cell function, food intake and gastrointestinal motility, amongst other effects. The observation that the insulinotropic actions of GLP-1 are reduced in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) led to the development of incretin-based therapies - GLP-1 receptor agonists and dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors - for the treatment of hyperglycaemia in these patients. Considerable interest exists in identifying effects of these drugs beyond glucose-lowering, possibly resulting in improved macrovascular and microvascular outcomes, including in diabetic kidney disease. As GLP-1 has been implicated as a mediator in the putative gut-renal axis (a rapid-acting feed-forward loop that regulates postprandial fluid and electrolyte homeostasis), direct actions on the kidney have been proposed. Here, we review the role of GLP-1 and the actions of associated therapies on glucose metabolism, the gut-renal axis, classical renal risk factors, and renal end points in randomized controlled trials of GLP-1 receptor agonists and DPP-4 inhibitors in patients with T2DM.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the effect of liraglutide, sitagliptin and insulin glargine added to standard therapy on left ventricular function in post-ischemic type-2 diabetes mellitus patients. METHODS We evaluated 32 type-2 diabetes mellitus Caucasians with history of post-ischemic chronic heart failure NYHA class II/III and/or left ventricular ejection fraction ≤45 %. Participants underwent laboratory determinations, electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, Minnesota Living with Heart Failure questionnaire and 6 min walking test at baseline and following 52 weeks treatment. Patients were treated with standard therapy for chronic heart failure and were randomized to receive liraglutide, sitagliptin and glargine in addition to metformin and/or sulfonylurea. RESULTS Liraglutide treatment induced an improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction from 41.5 ± 2.2 to 46.3 ± 3 %; P = 0.001). On the contrary, treatment with sitagliptin and glargine induced no changes in left ventricular ejection fraction (41.8 ± 2.6 vs. 42.5 ± 2.5 % and 42 ± 1.5 vs. 42 ± 1.6 %, respectively; P = NS). Indexed end-systolic LV volume was reduced only in liraglutide-treated patients (51 ± 9 vs. 43 ± 8 ml/m2; P < 0.05). Liraglutide treatment induced also a significant increase in the anterograde stroke volume (39 ± 9 vs. 49 ± 11 ml; P < 0.05), whereas no differences were observed in the other two groups. Cardiac output and cardiac index showed a significant increase only in liraglutide-treated patients (4.4 ± 0.5 vs. 5.0 ± 0.6 L/min; P < 0.05 and 1.23 ± 0.26 vs. 1.62 ± 0.29 L/m2; P = 0.005, respectively). Liraglutide treatment was also associated with an improvement of functional capacity and an improvement of quality of life. CONCLUSIONS These data provide evidence that treatment with liraglutide is associated with improvement of cardiac function and functional capacity in failing post-ischemic type-2 diabetes mellitus patients.

Abstract
Glucagon-like peptide-1 analogues improve left ventricular function in patients with acute myocardial infarction. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of liraglutide on hemodynamic parameters in patients with heart failure. A total of 78 patients with heart failure were enrolled in this study between August 2014 and November 2015. Of these, 52 patients were randomized 1:1 to receive either liraglutide or placebo for 7 days. Hemodynamic measurements were made using transpulmonary thermodilution and arterial pulse contour analysis. At 7 days, the difference in change of the primary endpoint of cardiac output between the liraglutide group and control group was +1.1 1/min (95% CI +0.1 to +2.2; P < 0.001). Stroke volume was significantly higher in the liraglutide group compared with the control group (difference: +14.6 ml; P < 0.001). The difference in an increase in the left ventricular contractile index after 7 days of treatment was +210.7 mmHg/s (liraglutide versus control, 95% CI−92.1 to +501.5; P < 0.001). Liraglutide causes favorable changes in markers of inflammation and oxidative stress. Glucagon-like peptide-1 may be associated with improvement in left ventricular function in patients with heart failure. These findings need to be confirmed by larger invasive trials.

Effects of exenatide on cardiac function, perfusion, and energetics in type 2 diabetic patients with cardiomyopathy: a randomized controlled trial against insulin glargine. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2017; 16:67. [PMID: 28526033 PMCID: PMC5438489 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-017-0549-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2017] [Accepted: 05/06/2017] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Multiple bloodglucose-lowering agents have been linked to cardiovascular events. Preliminary studies showed improvement in left ventricular (LV) function during glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist administration. Underlying mechanisms, however, are unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate myocardial perfusion and oxidative metabolism in type 2 diabetic (T2DM) patients with LV systolic dysfunction as compared to healthy controls. Furthermore, effects of 26-weeks of exenatide versus insulin glargine administration on cardiac function, perfusion and oxidative metabolism in T2DM patients with LV dysfunction were explored. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty-six T2DM patients with LV systolic dysfunction (cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) derived LV ejection fraction (LVEF) of 47 ± 13%) and 10 controls (LVEF of 59 ± 4%, P < 0.01 as compared to patients) were analyzed. Both myocardial perfusion during adenosine-induced hyperemia (P < 0.01), and coronary flow reserve (P < 0.01), measured by [15O]H2O positron emission tomography (PET), were impaired in T2DM patients as compared to healthy controls. Myocardial oxygen consumption and myocardial efficiency, measured using [11C]acetate PET and CMR derived stroke volume, were not different between the groups. Eleven patients in the exenatide group and 12 patients in the insulin glargine group completed the trial. Systemic metabolic control was improved after both treatments, although, no changes in cardiac function, perfusion and metabolism were seen after exenatide or insulin glargine. CONCLUSIONS T2DM patients with LV systolic dysfunction did not have altered myocardial efficiency as compared to healthy controls. Exenatide or insulin glargine had no effects on cardiac function, perfusion or oxidative metabolism. Trial registration NCT00766857.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An association between dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibitors with worse prognosis in HF has been suggested. We aimed to assess the serum DPP-IV levels in chronic stable HF patients and determine their association with prognosis. METHODS AND RESULTS Chronic stable HF patients with optimized prognostic-modifying therapy were prospectively recruited. EXCLUSION CRITERIA 1) ejection fraction>50%, 2) hospitalizations or therapeutic adjustments in the previous 2months; 3) patients on renal replacement therapy, and 4) use of DPP-IV inhibitors. A fasting venous blood sample was collected and DPP-IV was measured. Patients were followed-up for 3years and the endpoint studied was all-cause death. Patients' characteristics were compared according to DPP-IV quartiles. A Cox regression analysis was performed and multivariate models were built. The 3rd DPP-IV quartile was the reference category. We studied 264 patients. Mean age: 69 (±13)years, 70.5% were male and 33.7% diabetic. Median (IQR) serum DPP-IV levels were 455.6 (350.0-625.5)ng/mL. DPP-IV had an inverse relationship with age. Patients in 3rd DPP-IV quartile were in lower NYHA classes and had the lowest 3years all-cause mortality. Patients in the 1st DPP-IV quartile had a multivariate adjusted HR of 3-year mortality of 2.62 (95%CI: 1.15-5.95) when compared with reference category and the HR for the 4th quartile was of 3.79 (95%CI: 1.68-8.54). CONCLUSIONS There is a U-shaped association of serum DPP-IV with mortality in chronic systolic HF patients. Patients in the 3rd DPP-IV quartile have the best multivariate adjusted 3-year survival. DPP-IV inhibition might be harmful in patients with low DPP-IV.

Abstract
Hyperglycemia is a common issue affecting inpatient care. Although this is in part because of the higher rate of hospitalization among patients with preexisting diabetes, multiple factors complicate inpatient glucose management, including acute stress from illness or surgery, erratic dietary intake, and contribution of medications. It has been repeatedly demonstrated that poorly controlled blood glucose levels are associated with negative clinical outcomes, such as increased mortality, higher rate of surgical complications, and longer length of hospital stay. Given these concerns, there has been extensive study of the optimal strategy for management of glucose levels, with the bulk of existing literature focusing on insulin therapy in the intensive care unit setting. This review shifts the focus to the general adult medical and surgical wards, using clinical guidelines and sentinel studies to describe the scientific basis behind the current basal-bolus insulin-based approach to blood sugar management among noncritically ill inpatients. Patient-centered clinical trials looking at alternative dosing regimens and insulin analog and noninsulin agents, such as glucagon-like peptide-1 agonist therapies, introduce safe and effective options in the management of inpatient hyperglycemia. Data from these studies reveal that these approaches are of comparable safety and efficacy to the traditional basal-bolus insulin regimen, and may offer additional benefit in terms of less monitoring requirements and lower rates of hypoglycemia. Although existing data are encouraging, outcome studies will be needed to better establish the clinical impact of these more recently proposed approaches in an effort to broaden and improve current clinical practices in inpatient diabetes care.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the effects of the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, exenatide, on blood pressure and heart rate during an intraduodenal glucose infusion in type 2 diabetes. METHODS Nine subjects with type 2 diabetes were randomised to receive intravenous exenatide or saline control in a crossover design. Glucose (3 kcal min-1) was infused via an intraduodenal manometry catheter for 60 min. Blood pressure, heart rate, and the frequency and amplitude of duodenal pressure waves were measured at regular intervals. Gastrointestinal symptoms were monitored using 100 mm visual analogue scales. RESULTS During intraduodenal glucose infusion (0-60 min), diastolic (p(0-60) = 0.03) and mean arterial (p(0-60) = 0.03) blood pressures and heart rate (p(0-60) = 0.06; p(0-120) = 0.03)) were higher with exenatide compared to placebo. The increase in the area under the curve for diastolic blood pressure and mean arterial blood pressure was related directly to the suppression of the duodenal motility index with exenatide compared to control (p = 0.007 and 0.04, respectively). CONCLUSION In type 2 diabetes, intravenous exenatide increases mean arterial blood pressure and heart rate during an intraduodenal glucose infusion, supporting the need for further research with exenatide for its potential use in postprandial hypotension.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the effect of liraglutide treatment on heart function in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients with subclinical heart failure. METHODS Randomized open parallel-group trial. 62 T2D patients (45 male) with subclinical heart failure were randomized to either once daily liraglutide 1.8 mg, or glimepiride 4 mg, both add on to metformin 1 g twice a day. Mitral annular systolic (s') and early diastolic (e') velocities were measured at rest and during bicycle ergometer exercise, using tissue Doppler echocardiography. The primary endpoint was 18-week treatment changes in longitudinal functional reserve index (LFRIdiastolic/systolic). RESULTS Clinical characteristics between groups (liraglutide = 33 vs. glimepiride = 29) were well matched. At baseline left ventricle ejection fraction (53.7 vs. 53.6%) and global longitudinal strain (-15.3 vs. -16.5%) did not differ between groups. There were no significant differences in mitral flow velocities between groups. For the primary endpoint, there was no treatment change [95% confidence interval] for: LFRIdiastolic (-0.18 vs. -0.53 [-0.28, 2.59; p = 0.19]), or LFRIsystolic (-0.10 vs. -0.18 [-1.0, 1.7; p = 0.54]); for the secondary endpoints, there was a significant treatment change in respect of body weight (-3.7 vs. -0.2 kg [-5.5, -1.4; p = 0.001]), waist circumference (-3.1 vs. -0.8 cm [-4.2, -0.4; p = 0.019]), and heart rate (HR) (6.3 vs. -2.3 bpm [-3.0, 14.2; p = 0.003]), with no such treatment change in hemoglobin A1c levels (-11.0 vs. -9.2 mmol/mol [-7.0, 2.6; p = 0.37]), between groups. CONCLUSION 18-week treatment of liraglutide compared with glimepiride did not improve LFRIdiastolic/systolic, but however increased HR. There was a significant treatment change in body weight reduction in favor for liraglutide treatment.

Abstract
AIMS To determine the effect of the glucagon-like peptide-1 analogue liraglutide on left ventricular function in chronic heart failure patients with and without type 2 diabetes. METHODS AND RESULTS LIVE was an investigator-initiated, randomised, double-blinded, placebo-controlled multicentre trial. Patients (n = 241) with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF ≤45%) were recruited (February 2012 to August 2015). Patients were clinically stable and on optimal heart failure treatment. Intervention was liraglutide 1.8 mg once daily or matching placebo for 24 weeks. The LVEF was similar at baseline in the liraglutide and the placebo group (33.7 ± 7.6% vs. 35.4 ± 9.4%). Change in LVEF did not differ between the liraglutide and the placebo group; mean difference (95% confidence interval) was -0.8% (-2.1, 0.5; P = 0.24). Heart rate increased with liraglutide [mean difference: 7 b.p.m. (5, 9), P < 0.0001]. Serious cardiac events were seen in 12 (10%) patients treated with liraglutide compared with 3 (3%) patients in the placebo group (P = 0.04). CONCLUSION Liraglutide did not affect left ventricular systolic function compared with placebo in stable chronic heart failure patients with and without diabetes. Treatment with liraglutide was associated with an increase in heart rate and more serious cardiac adverse events, and this raises some concern with respect to the use of liraglutide in patients with chronic heart failure and reduced left ventricular function. More data on the safety of liraglutide in different subgroups of heart failure patients are needed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogs and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are relatively new therapies for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Given the high prevalence of cardiovascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes and recent concerns questioning CV safety of newer antidiabetic medications, cardiovascular safety of these medications requires evaluation. Areas covered: Cardiovascular effects of these drug classes from preclinical and clinical data as well as non-cardiovascular safety issues are delineated from literature searches covering the last decade and up to June 2016. Major clinical trials assessing the cardiovascular safety of GLP-1 agonists (ELIXA and LEADER), DPP-4 inhibitors (SAVOR-TIMI 53, EXAMINE, and TECOS) and SGLT2 inhibitors (EMPA-REG OUTCOME) are reviewed and interpreted. Expert opinion: Based on review of the present evidence, these 3 classes of antihyperglycemic therapies have acceptably safe CV safety profiles for patients with type 2 diabetes. The latest evidence from LEADER and EMPA-REG OUTCOME trials indicate that liraglutide and empagliflozin have cardiovascular benefits that may prove to be of clinical importance in the management of type 2 DM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the literature about the use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) in the treatment of cardiac disorders, specifically myocardial infarction (MI) and heart failure (HF). DATA SOURCES Searches were conducted in MEDLINE (1946-May 2016) and Excerpta Medica (1980-May 2016) using EMBASE with the search terms glucagon-like peptide 1, exenatide, albiglutide, liraglutide, dulaglutide, myocardial infarction, heart failure, and cardiovascular The references of relevant articles were reviewed to identify additional citations. STUDY SELECTION AND DATA EXTRACTION Clinical trials were limited to the English language and human trials. In all, 18 trials explored the use of GLP-1 RAs in the treatment of cardiac disorders in patients with and without diabetes mellitus. DATA SYNTHESIS Of the 18 trials reviewed, 11 trials studied the impact of GLP-1 RAs in MI. All showed a significant beneficial effect on various cardiac parameters. Favorable outcome improvements included myocardial blood flow, left ventricular (LV) function, and MI size. Seven trials reviewed the use of GLP-1 RAs in the treatment of HF. Three trials showed significant improvements in LV ejection fraction, cardiac index, and peak oxygen consumption. CONCLUSIONS Limited data suggest that GLP-1 RAs may be effective for the treatment of cardiac disorders in patients with and without diabetes mellitus. These studies suggest that GLP-1 RAs may have potential pleiotropic beneficial effects in patients with cardiovascular disease beyond their role in managing diabetes. These medications may be cardioprotective after a MI but are less promising in HF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and coronary artery disease (CAD) have increased risk of cardiac dysfunction. The diabetic heart is characterized by increased fatty acid oxidation and reduced glucose uptake resulting in reduced cardiac efficiency. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) has shown to increase myocardial glucose uptake and to improve myocardial function. We examined the effect of the GLP-1 receptor agonist, liraglutide, on the systolic function of the left ventricle (LV) in patients with T2D and stable CAD. METHODS In this placebo-controlled crossover study, 41 subjects with T2D and stable CAD were randomized to liraglutide or placebo and underwent dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) and exercise tolerance test at beginning and end of each intervention. The primary endpoint was changes in LV ejection fraction. Secondary endpoints were exercise capacity and other measures of systolic function: wall motion score index (WMSI), global longitudinal strain (GLS) and strain rate (GLSR). RESULTS Liraglutide, when compared to placebo, did not improve LV ejection fraction at rest (+0.54 %; 95 % CI 2.38-3.45), at low stress (+0.03 %; 95 % CI 3.25-3.32), at peak stress (+1.12 %; 95 % CI 3.45-5.69), or at recovery (+4.06 %; 95 % CI 0.81-8.93). No significant changes in WMSI were observed at any stress levels. GLS and GLSR at rest did not improve. The maximal exercise capacity estimated by metabolic equivalents was not affected by liraglutide. CONCLUSION In conclusion, liraglutide did not improve the systolic function of the left ventricle during DSE or the exercise capacity in patients with T2D and stable CAD.

Abstract
Glucagon-like peptide-1, produced predominantly in enteroendocrine cells, controls glucose metabolism and energy homeostasis through regulation of islet hormone secretion, gastrointestinal motility, and food intake, enabling development of GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists for the treatment of diabetes and obesity. GLP-1 also acts on the immune system to suppress inflammation, and GLP-1R signaling in multiple tissues impacts cardiovascular function in health and disease. Here we review how GLP-1 and clinically approved GLP-1R agonists engage mechanisms that influence the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. We discuss how GLP-1R agonists modify inflammation, cardiovascular physiology, and pathophysiology in normal and diabetic animals through direct and indirect mechanisms and review human studies illustrating mechanisms linking GLP-1R signaling to modification of the cardiovascular complications of diabetes. The risks and benefits of GLP-1R agonists are updated in light of recent data suggesting that GLP-1R agonists favorably modify outcomes in diabetic subjects at high risk for cardiovascular events.

Abstract
Glucagon-like peptide-1-(7-36) amide (GLP-1) is a human incretin hormone responsible for the release of insulin in response to food. Pre-clinical and human physiological studies have demonstrated cardioprotection from ischemia-reperfusion injury. It can reduce infarct size, ischemic left ventricular dysfunction, and myocardial stunning. GLP-1 receptor agonists have also been shown to reduce infarct size in myocardial infarction. The mechanism through which this protection occurs is uncertain but may include hijacking the subcellular pathways of ischemic preconditioning, modulation of myocardial metabolism, and hemodynamic effects including peripheral, pulmonary, and coronary vasodilatation. This review will assess the evidence for each of these mechanisms in turn. Challenges remain in successfully translating cardioprotective interventions from bench-to-bedside. The window of cardioprotection is short and timing of cardioprotection in the appropriate clinical setting is critically important. We will emphasize the need for high-quality, well-designed research to evaluate GLP-1 as a cardioprotective agent for use in real-world practice.

Abstract
Glucagon family of peptide hormones is a group of structurally related brain-gut peptides that exert their pleiotropic actions through interactions with unique members of class B1 G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). They are key regulators of hormonal homeostasis and are important drug targets for metabolic disorders such as type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), obesity, and dysregulations of the nervous systems such as migraine, anxiety, depression, neurodegeneration, psychiatric disorders, and cardiovascular diseases. The current review aims to provide a detailed overview of the current understanding of the pharmacological actions and therapeutic advances of three members within this family including glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP), and glucagon.

Abstract
Preclinical studies and small clinical trials suggest that glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP1) may have a positive effect on ventricular function. Liraglutide is a GLP1-analogue used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. LIPER2 is a phase IV, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-design trial, assessing the effect of 6 months' liraglutide 1.8 mg/d on measures of cardiac function and physical performance in patients with type 2 diabetes. A total of 30 patients with type 2 diabetes will be included, if their HbA1c is between 7 and 10% while on oral agents (including metformin if tolerated and not contraindicated), a maximum of 2 intermediate or long-acting insulin injections per day or a combination of both. After their baseline examinations, patients are randomised to receive a daily subcutaneous liraglutide or placebo injection (titrated to 1.8 mg/d if tolerated) for 6 months. The primary end-point is the maximal oxygen consumption during cycle ergometry at the end of the study period. Other end-points include distance covered during a 6-min walk test, left ventricular ejection fraction and other measures of ventricular systolic and diastolic functions assessed by echocardiography, heart rate, blood pressure, pro-brain natriuretic peptide, C-reactive protein, HbA1c, lipids, apolipoprotein B, body weight and waist girth. Safety end-points include adverse event reporting, blood count, kidney and liver function, amylase, lipase, electrolytes, calcitonin, CA19.9 and pregnancy test for fertile women. At the time of this report, recruitment is still ongoing. Results are expected to be reported in December 2016.

Abstract
During acute administration of native glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), we previously demonstrated central hemodynamic effects in healthy males, whereas renal hemodynamics, despite renal uptake of GLP-1 in excess of glomerular filtration, was unaffected. In the present study, we studied hemodynamic effects of GLP-1 in patients with type 2 diabetes under fixed sodium intake. During a 3-h infusion of GLP-1 (1.5 pmol·kg(-1)·min(-1)) or saline, intra-arterial blood pressure and heart rate were measured continuously, concomitantly with cardiac output estimated by pulse contour analysis. Renal plasma flow, glomerular filtration rate, and uptake/release of hormones and ions were measured using Fick's Principle after catheterization of a renal vein. Urine collection was conducted throughout the experiments at voluntary voiding, and patients remained supine during the experiments. During the GLP-1 infusion, systolic and diastolic blood pressure and cardiac output remained unchanged, whereas heart rate increased significantly. Arterio-venous gradients for GLP-1 exceeded glomerular filtrations significantly, but renal plasma flow and glomerular filtration rate as well as renal sodium and lithium excretion were not affected. In conclusion, acute administration of GLP-1 in patients with type 2 diabetes leads to a positive chronotropic effect, but in contrast to healthy individuals, cardiac output does not increase in patients with type 2 diabetes. Renal hemodynamics and sodium excretion are not affected.

Abstract
Over the past three decades, at least 10 hormones secreted by the enteroendocrine cells have been discovered, which directly affect the cardiovascular system through their innate receptors expressed in the heart and blood vessels or through a neural mechanism. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), an important incretin, is perhaps best studied of these gut-derived hormones with important cardiovascular effects. In this review, I have discussed the mechanism of GLP-1 release from the enteroendocrine L-cells and its physiological effects on the cardiovascular system. Current evidence suggests that GLP-1 has positive inotropic and chronotropic effects on the heart and may be important in preserving left ventricular structure and function by direct and indirect mechanisms. The direct effects of GLP-1 in the heart may be mediated through GLP-1R expressed in atria as well as arteries and arterioles in the left ventricle and mainly involve in the activation of multiple pro-survival kinases and enhanced energy utilization. There is also good evidence to support the involvement of a second, yet to be identified, GLP-1 receptor. Further, GLP-1(9-36)amide, which was previously thought to be the inactive metabolite of the active GLP-1(7-36)amide, may also have direct cardioprotective effects. GLP-1's action on GLP-1R expressed in the central nervous system, kidney, vasculature and the pancreas may indirectly contribute to its cardioprotective effects.

Abstract
The incretin-based therapies, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogs, are important new classes of therapy for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). These agents prolong the action of the incretin hormones, GLP-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), by inhibiting their breakdown. The incretin hormones improve glycemic control in T2DM by increasing insulin secretion and suppressing glucagon levels. The cardiovascular (CV) effects of the incretin-based therapies have been of substantial interest since 2008, when the US Food and Drug Administration began to require that all new therapies for diabetes undergo rigorous assessment of CV safety through large-scale CV outcome trials. This article reviews the most recent CV outcome trials of the DPP-4 inhibitors (SAVOR-TIMI 53, EXAMINE, and TECOS) as evidence that the incretin-based therapies have acceptable CV safety profiles for patients with T2DM. The studies differ with regard to patient population, trial duration, and heart failure outcomes but show similar findings for CV death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and stroke, as well as hospitalization for unstable angina.
