Impaired Cardiovagal Activity as a Link Between Hyperglycemia and Arterial Stiffness in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Among an Eastern Indian Population: A Cross-sectional Study. Can J Diabetes 2024; 48:147-154. [PMID: 38142036 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcjd.2023.12.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2023] [Revised: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 12/25/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is one of the most common yet overlooked complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Individuals with T2DM with CAN have a 5-fold higher rate of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The presence of CAN in T2DM could potentially lead to arterial stiffness. However, only sparse data are available suggesting any association between autonomic dysfunction and arterial stiffness in T2DM. METHODS We recruited 80 people with T2DM and 74 healthy controls for our study. Heart rate variability (HRV) testing was performed to assess autonomic function. Assessment of arterial stiffness was done by measuring the brachial pulse wave velocity (baPWV) and augmentation index (AI). RESULTS The time-domain parameters were significantly decreased (p<0.001) and frequency-domain parameters, such as total power and high-frequency band expressed as a normalized unit, were found to be significantly reduced in people with T2DM (p<0.001). Both baPWV and AI were significantly higher in people with T2DM compared with healthy controls (p<0.001). We observed a moderate correlation between standard deviation of normal to normal interval (SDNN) and baPWV (r=-0.437, p=0.002) and AI (r=-0.403, p=0.002). A multiple linear regression model showed an association between SDNN and arterial stiffness parameters, such as baPWV and AI, which were statistically significant (p<0.05) in a fully adjusted model that included the conventional risk factors for atherosclerosis. CONCLUSIONS Impaired cardiovagal activity is an independent risk factor for the development of arterial stiffness. Incorporation of HRV testing into the diabetes management protocol would have potential benefits for identifying individuals at high risk of developing cardiovascular events. Hence, preventive measures can be taken as early as possible to improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is associated with increased cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) even in patients with viral suppression by combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). Arterial stiffness is an independent predictor of CVDs in diseased individuals and the general population. Cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) is an index of arterial stiffness that has been shown to predict target organ damage. CAVI is less studied in HIV patients. We compared the levels of arterial stiffness using CAVI and associated factors among cART-treated and cART-naïve HIV patients to those of non-HIV controls. In a case-control design, 158 cART-treated HIV patients, 150 cART-naïve HIV patients and 156 non-HIV controls were recruited from a periurban hospital. We collected data on CVD risk factors, anthropometric characteristics, CAVI, and fasting blood samples to measure plasma glucose, lipid profile, and CD4+ cell counts. Metabolic abnormalities were defined using the JIS criteria. CAVI increased in cART-treated HIV patients compared to cART-naïve HIV patients and non-HIV controls (7.8 ± 1.4 vs 6.6 ± 1.1 vs 6.7 ± 1.4 respectively, p < 0.001). CAVI was associated with metabolic syndrome in non-HIV controls [OR (95% CI) = 2.14 (1.04-4.4), p = 0.039] and cART-naïve HIV patients [1.47 (1.21-2.38), p = 0.015], but not in cART-treated HIV patients [0.81 (0.52-1.26), p = 0.353]. In cART-treated HIV patients, a tenofovir (TDF)-based regimen (β = -0.46, p = 0.023) was associated with decreased CAVI and decreased CD4+ cell count (β = -0.23, p = 0.047) was associated with increased CAVI. In a periurban hospital in Ghana, compared to non-HIV controls or cART-naïve HIV patients, cART-treated HIV patients had increased arterial stiffness measured as CAVI. CAVI is associated with metabolic abnormalities in non-HIV controls and cART-naïve HIV patients, but not in cART-treated HIV patients. Patients on TDF-based regimens had decreased CAVI.

Abstract
Objective Impaired angiogenesis, measured as serum levels of angiogenic growth factors, may be among the mechanisms underlining aortic stiffness in diabetes patients. We studied the association between aortic stiffness and circulating angiogenic growth factors in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients without any organ damage. Methods In a case-control design, aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV), augmentation index (AIx), and aortic blood pressures (BPs) were measured in 140 T2DM patients and 110 nondiabetic controls. Fasting blood samples were collected to measure the levels of angiopoietin- (Ang-) 1, Ang-2, and vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF). Results Compared to nondiabetes participants, T2DM patients had increased PWV (8.7 ± 1.5 vs. 7.6 ± 1.3, p = 0.031), aortic pulse BP (58 ± 20 vs. 49 ± 17, p = 0.011), Ang-2 (838 (473-1241) vs. 597 (274-1005), p = 0.018), and VEGF (72.2 (28-201.8) vs. 48.4 (17.4-110.1), p = 0.025) but reduced levels of AIx (21.7 ± 13.8 vs. 34 ± 12.9, p < 0.001) and Ang-1 (33.1 (24.7-42.1) vs. 41.1 (30-57.3), p = 0.01). In all study participants, compared to those in the lower tertile, participants in the upper tertile of Ang-2 had increased odds of PWV (2.01 (1.17-3.84), p = 0.004), aortic systolic BP (1.24 (1.04-1.97), p = 0.011), and aortic pulse BP (1.19 (1.04-1.82), p = 0.041) but reduced odds of AIx (0.84 (0.71-0.96), p = 0.014) in multivariable-adjusted models. Conclusion In our study population, increased circulating Ang-2 was associated with increased levels of aortic stiffness parameters.

Associations of aortic stiffness and intra-aortic flow parameters with epicardial adipose tissue in patients with type-2 diabetes. FRONTIERS IN CLINICAL DIABETES AND HEALTHCARE 2023; 4:1106342.

Abstract
Background It has been shown that increased aortic stiffness is related to type-2 diabetes (T2D) which is considered as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Among other risk factors is epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) which is increased in T2D and is a relevant biomarker of metabolic severity and adverse outcome. Purpose To assess aortic flow parameters in T2D patients as compared to healthy individuals and to evaluate their associations with EAT accumulation as an index of cardiometabolic severity in T2D patients. Materials and methods Thirty-six T2D patients as well as 29 healthy controls matched by age and sex were included in this study. Participants had cardiac and aortic MRI exams at 1.5 T. Imaging sequences included cine SSFP for left ventricle (LV) function and EAT assessment and aortic cine and phase-contrast imaging for strain and flow parameters quantification. Results In this study, we found LV phenotype to be characterized by concentric remodeling with decreased stroke volume index despite global LV mass within a normal range. EAT was increased in T2D patients compared to controls (p<0.0001). Moreover, EAT, a biomarker of metabolic severity, was negatively correlated to ascending aortic (AA) distensibility (p=0.048) and positively to the normalized backward flow volume (p=0.001). These relationships remained significant after further adjustment for age, sex and central mean blood pressure. In a multivariate model, presence/absence of T2D and AA normalized backward flow (BF) to forward flow (FF) volumes ratio are both significant and independent correlates of EAT. Conclusion In our study, aortic stiffness as depicted by an increased backward flow volume and decreased distensibility seems to be related to EAT volume in T2D patients. This observation should be confirmed in the future on a larger population while considering additional biomarkers specific to inflammation and using a longitudinal prospective study design.

Abstract
Abstract
Several cross-sectional trials have revealed increased arterial stiffness connected with the cardiac autonomic neuropathy in types 2 and 1 diabetic patients. The pathophysiological relationship between arterial stiffness and autonomic dysfunction in diabetes mellitus is still underinvestigated and the question whether the presence of cardiac autonomic neuropathy leads to arterial stiffening or increased arterial stiffness induced autonomic nervous system impairment is still open. Both arterial stiffness and dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system have common pathogenetic pathways, counting state of the chronic hyperinsulinemia and hyperglycemia, increased formation of advanced glycation end products, activation of protein kinase C, development of endothelial dysfunction, and chronic low-grade inflammation. Baroreceptor dysfunction is thought to be one of the possible reasons for the arterial wall stiffening development and progression. On the contrary, violated autonomic nervous system function can affect the vascular tone and by this way alter the large arteries walls elastic properties. Another possible mechanism of attachment and/or development of arterial stiffness is the increased heart rate and autonomic dysfunction corresponding progression. This minireview analyzes the current state of the relationship between the diabetes mellitus and the arterial stiffness. Particular attention is paid to the analysis, interpretation, and application of the results obtained in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and diabetic cardiac autonomic neuropathy.

Abstract
Introduction Hypertension is the most prevalent noncommunicable disorder, studied in terms of brachial blood pressure. Direct parameters like central hemodynamics and arterial stiffness, though superior, are not studied much. The same can be studied by pulse-wave analysis (PWA) and we did that in euglycemic treated hypertensives. Materials and Methods A case-control study was conducted in 258 treated euglycemic hypertensives and 258 matched controls. Oscillometric PWA was accomplished by Mobil-O-Graph (IEM, Germany). Parameters were further analyzed for the effect of gender, physical activity, body mass index (BMI) (cutoff 23), blood pressure control, and duration (cutoff 5 years). Multiple linear regressions were used to find significant predictors. P < 0.05 was taken as statistically significant. Results Cases had significantly higher brachial arterial parameters (blood pressure, heart rate, rate pressure product), arterial stiffness (augmentation pressure, augmentation index, pulse-wave velocity, total arterial stiffness, pulse pressure amplification), and central hemodynamics (central blood pressure, cardiac output, stroke work) compared to age, gender, and BMI-matched controls. In the case group, female gender, BMI ≥ 23, and uncontrolled blood pressure were significant factors affecting results. Heart rate and pulse pressure were major predictors of study parameters. Central pressure parameters were not predicted significantly by corresponding brachial pressure parameters. Conclusion PWA revealed the adverse profile of arterial stiffness and central hemodynamics in treated Gujarati hypertensives, associated with female gender, BMI, and blood pressure control, predicted mainly by heart rate and pulse pressure, independent of brachial blood pressure. It indicates both potential and further study of these parameters.

Abstract
Clinical trials and animal experimental studies have demonstrated an association of arterial baroreflex impairment with the prognosis and mortality of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. As a primary part of the arterial baroreflex arc, the pressure sensitivity of arterial baroreceptors is blunted and involved in arterial baroreflex dysfunction in cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. Changes in the arterial vascular walls, mechanosensitive ion channels, and voltage-gated ion channels contribute to the attenuation of arterial baroreceptor sensitivity. Some endogenous substances (such as angiotensin II and superoxide anion) can modulate these morphological and functional alterations through intracellular signaling pathways in impaired arterial baroreceptors. Arterial baroreceptors can be considered as a potential therapeutic target to improve the prognosis of patients with cardiovascular diseases and diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Peripheral sensory neuropathy (PSN) is among microvascular complications of diabetes that make patients prone to ulceration and amputation. Arterial stiffness is a predictor of cardiovascular diseases and microvascular complications associated with diabetes. We investigated the association between PSN and arterial stiffness, measured as aortic pulse wave velocity (PWVao) and cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI). METHOD In a case-control design, arterial stiffness was measured in 240 diabetes patients and 110 nondiabetic control. Large-fibre nerve function was assessed by vibration perception threshold (VPT) using a neurothesiometer. PSN was defined as the VPT > 97.5th percentile from age- and gender-adjusted models in nondiabetic controls. RESULTS The overall prevalence of PSN was 16.6% in the entire study participants. Compared to non-PSN participants, PSN patients had higher levels of PWVao (9.5 ± 1.7 versus 8.7 ± 1.2 m/s, p = 0.016) and CAVI (8.4 ± 1.3 versus 7.6 ± 1.1, p = 0.001). In multiple regression models, VPT was associated with PWVao (β = 0.14, p = 0.025) and CAVI (β = 0.12, p = 0.04). PSN patients had increased odds of CAVI (OR = 1.51 (1.02-2.4), p = 0.043), but not PWVao (OR = 1.25 (0.91-1.71), p = 0.173). CONCLUSION PWVao and CAVI were associated with VPT and PSN in diabetes patients in Ghana. Patients having PSN have increased odds of CAVI, independent of other conventional risk factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The association between anthropometric indices of body composition and arterial stiffness is inconclusive. The objective of this study was to examine the predictive ability of two new obesity indices: a body shape index (ABSI), and a body roundness index (BRI), for the identification of arterial stiffness among Chinese adults, as well as to compare the relative strength of association between the anthropometric indices and arterial stiffness. METHODS A total of 10,197 subjects were recruited in this cross-sectional study. We tested the association between anthropometric indices (body mass index [BMI], waist circumference [WC], waist-height-ratio [WHtR], ABSI and BRI) and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (PWV). Receiver operating characteristic curve and area under curve (AUC) were employed to evaluate the predictive value of the anthropometric indices for identification of arterial stiffness. RESULTS After adjusting for confounding variables, BRI (linear regression: 0.112; AUC: 0.726; OR: 1.228 for female and linear regression: 0.047; AUC: 0.631; OR: 1.173 for male) exhibited a more powerful predictive ability of arterial stiffness than ABSI (linear regression: 0.110; AUC: 0.674; OR: 1.315 for female and linear regression: 0.058; AUC: 0.610; OR: 1.150 for male) and WC (linear regression: 0.078; AUC: 0.699; logistic regression: negative for female and linear regression: negative; AUC: 0.593; logistic regression: negative for male) while having a similar predictive value to that of WHtR (linear regression: 0.113; AUC: 0.726; OR: 1.228 for female and linear regression: 0.047; AUC: 0.631; OR: 1.185 for male) among both sexes. BMI (linear and logistic regression: negative; AUC: 0.660 for female and 0.568 for male) had the lowest predictive power in both sex categories. The optimal cut-off of WHtR for detecting arterial stiffness was 0.49 in females and 0.53 in males, that of BRI was 3.19 in females and 3.89 in males. CONCLUSIONS WHtR, ABSI and BRI were significantly associated with arterial stiffness. BRI and WHtR, rather than ABSI, showed superior predictive abilities for arterial stiffness in both sexes.

Abstract
Background While conventional cardiovascular risk factors and certain lifestyle habits are associated with arterial stiffness in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), it is still unknown whether they are actually associated with arterial stiffness even after adjustment for conventional cardiovascular risk factors and lifestyle habits. The aim of this study was to identify variables that are associated with brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV). Methods The study participants comprised 724 Japanese T2DM outpatients free of history of cardiovascular diseases. Lifestyle habits were analyzed using self-reported questionnaires. The associations among conventional cardiovascular risk factors and lifestyle habits with baPWV were investigated by multivariable linear regression analysis. Results The mean age of the study subjects was 57.8 ± 8.6 years, and 62.8% of those were males. The mean HbA1c was 7.0±1.0%, and the estimated duration of T2DM was 9.9 ± 7.2 years. Multiple linear regression analysis that included age and gender demonstrated that age and male sex were positively associated with baPWV. In a model adjusted for numerous conventional cardiovascular risk factors and lifestyle habits, age, duration of T2DM, systolic blood pressure, serum uric acid, urinary albumin excretion and poor sleep quality were positively associated with baPWV, while body mass index was negatively associated with baPWV. Conclusions In Japanese T2DM, in addition to several conventional cardiovascular risk factors, poor sleep quality was associated with baPWV even after adjustment for numerous conventional cardiovascular risk factors and lifestyle habits.
