Association of carotid atherosclerosis markers with all-cause and cardiovascular disease-specific mortality in persons with type 2 diabetes: a causal mediation analysis with glucose variation. Acta Diabetol 2024; 61:657-669. [PMID: 38393346 DOI: 10.1007/s00592-024-02243-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2023] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024]
Abstract
AIMS Glucose variation (GV) is independently associated with mortality in patients with diabetes. However, no study has examined the effects of carotid atherosclerosis markers on mortality after considering GV. Our purpose is to investigate the independent effects of carotid atherosclerosis markers in persons with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) after considering GV and the mediation effects of carotid atherosclerosis markers on associations between GV with cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study is a retrospective cohort study including 3628 persons with T2DM who were admitted to a medical center between January 01, 2001 and October 31, 2021. GV was defined as a coefficient of variation (CV) of repeated measurements within a year before the index date (date of first IMT assessment). Carotid atherosclerosis markers included intima-media thickness (IMT), plaque, and stenosis. The outcomes consisted of all-cause and expanded cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. Cox proportional hazards models were applied. RESULTS Among the participants, 286 (7.9%) had IMT ≥ 2 mm, 2834 (78.1%) had carotid plaque, and 464 (12.8%) had carotid stenosis ≥ 50%. When GV was considered, IMT, carotid plaque, and carotid stenosis were significant factors for all-cause mortality (except IMT considering HbA1c-CV) and expanded CVD mortality. IMT was a significant mediator in the associations of fasting plasma glucose (FPG)-CV with all-cause and expanded CVD mortality (2 and 3.19%, respectively), and carotid stenosis was a significant mediator in the association between FPG-CV and expanded CVD mortality (3.83%). CONCLUSIONS Our statistical evaluations show suggests that carotid atherosclerosis markers are important predictors of CVD mortality in persons with T2DM if GV is considered. In addition, IMT and carotid stenosis were significant mediators in the association between GV and mortality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To build a model based on cardiometabolic indicators that allow the identification of overweight adolescents at higher risk of subclinical atherosclerotic disease (SAD). METHODS Cross-sectional study involving 161 adolescents with a body mass index ≥ +1 z-Score, aged 10 to 19 years. Carotid intima-media complex thickness (IMT) was evaluated using ultrasound to assess subclinical atherosclerotic disease. Cardiometabolic indicators evaluated included nutritional status, central adiposity, blood pressure, lipidic profile, glycemic profile, as well as age and sex. Data was presented using measures of central tendency and dispersion, as well as absolute and relative frequency. The relationship between IMT measurement (outcome variable) and other variables (independent variables) was assessed using Pearson or Spearman correlation, followed by multiple regression modeling with Gamma distribution to analyze predictors of IMT. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS and R software, considering a significance level of 5 %. RESULTS It was observed that 23.7 % had Carotid thickening, and the prevalence of abnormal fasting glucose was the lowest. Age and fasting glucose were identified as predictors of IMT increase, with IMT decreasing with age by approximately 1 % per year and increasing with glucose by around 0.24 % per mg/dL. CONCLUSION The adolescent at higher risk is younger with higher fasting glycemia levels.

[PMID: 34557975 DOI: 10.1007/s00431-021-04238-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2021] [Revised: 08/06/2021] [Accepted: 08/10/2021] [Indexed: 01/14/2023]
Abstract
The association between obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (oSDB) and arterial stiffness, an independent predictor of cardiovascular outcomes, is not well established in children. This study compared cardiovascular parameters between healthy and oSDB children and aimed to identify predictors of arterial stiffness indices in children with oSDB. Cross-sectional study realized in a tertiary hospital from June 2018 to January 2020. Forty-eight children (3 to 10 years old) with clinical diagnosis of oSDB and indication for adenotonsillectomy and 24 controls were evaluated. Cardiovascular parameters were measured non-invasively by brachial artery oscillometry with a portable device. The main arterial stiffness indices assessed were augmentation index and pulse wave velocity, both derived from the aortic pulse wave. In the oSDB group, the questionnaires Obstructive Sleep Apnea-18 (OSA-18) and Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory version 4.0 (PedsQL 4.0) were applied. The oSDB group had higher values of reflection coefficient (p = 0.044) and augmentation index (p = 0.003) than the control group. Stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed that age, female sex, reflection coefficient, and systolic volume were independent predictors of augmentation index. Higher pulse wave velocity values were associated with worse quality of life assessed by PedsQL 4.0 questionnaire. There was no association with OSA-18. The vascular and hemodynamic parameters were similar in both groups.Conclusion: Children with oSDB have increased augmentation index, an independent predictor of cardiovascular outcomes. The early identification of subclinical cardiovascular changes reinforces the importance of treating the disease, as well as changing lifestyle habits, to prevent complications in adulthood. What is Known: • The association between oSDB and cardiovascular risk in adults is well described in the literature. • Children with oSDB, regardless of their weight or sex, have higher PWV values when compared to non-snoring children. What is New: • Children with oSDB have augmented arterial stiffness, evidenced by the increase in AIx@75, measured non-invasively by brachial artery oscillometry with a portable device. • Low quality of life and therefore a high disease burden in children with oSDB may be a risk factor for arterial stiffness.

Abstract
We investigated the relationship between pancreatic fat accumulation and markers of atherosclerosis among patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Patients with NAFLD have been reported to be at an increased risk of vascular events. We grouped 183 patients in whom we detected and graded hepatosteatosis (HS) on transabdominal ultrasonography into 2 groups based on the presence/absence of pancreatic fat. There were 85 participants (50 female; mean age: 53.6 ± 9.7 years) who were nonalcoholic fatty pancreas disease (NAFPD) positive and 98 participants (56 female; mean age: 51.4 ± 9.3 years) who were NAFPD negative. Carotid intima media thickness (cIMT) was significantly greater in the group where HS was accompanied by NAFPD (0.51 [0.40-0.62] vs 0.45 [0.35-0.55] mm; P < .001). Multivariable analyses showed that the independent predictors of increased cIMT were age (odds ratio [OR]: 1.108; 95% CI: 1.059-1.158, P = .001), hypertension (OR: 2.244; 95% CI: 1.099-4.579, P = .026), and the presence of NAFPD (OR: 3.078; CI 95% CI: 1.531-6.190, P = .0002). In the present study we demonstrated that, in patients with NAFLD, pancreatic fat accumulation was significantly associated with cIMT, a marker of early atherosclerosis. NAFPD may increase the risk of vascular events associated with NAFLD.

The effect of metformin on carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT): A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials. Eur J Pharmacol 2020; 886:173458. [PMID: 32763300 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2020.173458] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2020] [Revised: 07/24/2020] [Accepted: 07/31/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Metformin administration has been reported to influence the carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) in humans. However, since previously conducted studies have yielded inconsistent results, the exact effect of metformin on CIMT remains unclear. Causes that could lead to inconsistency in reported research could be the duration and dose of the intervention, as well as the sample size. To address this inconsistency, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the influence of metformin on CIMT in human subjects. We identified eligible studies by searching several electronic databases (EMBASE, PubMed-MEDLINE, Web of Science and Google Scholar) up to December 12, 2019. Data were pooled using the random-effects model. Combining data from 1087 participants (9 studies), our meta-analysis revealed that the administration of metformin resulted in a significant reduction in CIMT (WMD = -0.049 mm; 95% CI: -0.095, -0.004). Stratified analyses showed that an intervention lasting ≥12 months (WMD: -0.084 mm, 95% CI: -0.145, -0.024) and an intake of metformin ≤1500 mg/day (WMD: -0.081 mm, 95% CI: -0.132, -0.029) resulted in a significantly greater reduction in CIMT. However, an intervention duration of less than 12 months and an intake of metformin ˃1500 mg/day yielded no significant effects on CIMT. The results of the current study confirm that metformin administration is associated with a significant reduction in CIMT. Taking into account that CIMT reflects the burden of atherosclerosis, the clinical utility of metformin might also be related to its anti-atherogenic effects.

Abstract
Carotid intima-media thickness (C-IMT) increases in patients with adult type-2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and is used for early detection of macrovascular complications. We aimed to investigate the change of C-IMT in prediabetes and type-2 DM patients compared to subjects with normal glucose metabolism (NGM).A total of 180 individuals (60 subjects with NGM, 60 patients with prediabetes and 60 patients with type-2 DM) were included in this study. Routine laboratory and micro-macrovascular involvement were investigated. Urine albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) was measured for urinary albuminuria detection. In addition to routine laboratory examination, right-left common and internal C-IMT (CC-IMT and IC-IMT) were measured.Systolic and diastolic blood pressure values were found to be higher in prediabetes and type-2 DM groups than NGM group. The prevalence of nephropathy and presence of CAD were higher in type-2 DM groups than prediabetes. Glucose, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, triglycerides, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, high sensitive C reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels and urinary ACR were significantly higher in patients within prediabetes and type-2 DM groups than NGM group. Glucose, HbA1c and hs-CRP levels were found to be higher in type-2 DM groups than prediabetes. Estimated glomerular filtration rate and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol level was found to be lower in patients within prediabetes and type-2 DM groups than NGM group. Right-left-mean CC-IMT and IC-IMT values were found to be higher in prediabetes and type-2 DM groups than NGM group. Left IC-IMT, left CC-IMT, and mean IC-IMT values were found to be higher in type-2 DM patients compared to prediabetes. LDL and HDL cholesterols, HbA1c, and hs-CRP levels were independently associated with IC-IMT and CC-IMT.C-IMT values were significantly higher in impaired glucose metabolism compared to NGM. C-IMT measurement may be used as part of routine screening of macrovascular complication in patients with prediabetes and newly diagnosed type-2 DM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Genome-wide association studies identified several gene variants associated with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Among them, rs6584389 A>C was significantly associated with PAD defined by decreased ankle-brachial index (ABI). The aim of this study was to investigate whether the rs6584389 variant is also associated with the earlier stages of atherosclerosis assessed by intima-media thickness (IMT) or pulse-wave velocity (PWV) in clinically asymptomatic subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), a group of patients with a high cardiovascular risk. PATIENTS AND METHODS In total, 111 patients with T2DM (56 females, 55 males) with a mean age 63.0 ± 9.1 years were consecutively included in the study. IMT was measured by ultrasound using 7 MHz linear transducer. PWV was measured using a piezoelectric method. Genotyping for rs6584389 was performed by PCR-HRMA method. RESULTS The carriers of the risk C-allele of rs6584389 variant had significantly higher mean left-side IMT (AA: 0.67 ± 0.12, AC 0.77 ± 0.21, CC 0.78 ± 0.22 mm; p = 0.04). In multiple linear regression analysis, rs6586389 genotype was significantly associated with all measured IMT parameters. The presence of each risk C-allele predicted an increase in left-side IMT by 0.056 mm (p = 0.017), right-side IMT by 0.053 mm (p = 0.039), average IMT by 0.054 mm (p = 0.023), and maximal IMT by 0.058 mm (p = 0.021). Age and HbA1c levels were also significantly associated with increased IMT in all multivariate models. CONCLUSIONS Gene variant rs6584389 A>C near to PAX2 gene was associated with increased carotid IMT in patients with type 2 diabetes independently of the other main risk factors for atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Prediabetes is considered as a risk factor for the development of diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. The present study was conducted with the aim of finding out the relationship between oxidative DNA damage and carotid intima media thickness for the prediction of cardiovascular disease in prediabetic subjects. The study included 100 prediabetic subjects and 100 normal individuals as controls. In both cases and controls, 8-OHdG was measured by ELISA, and CIMT was measured by B mode ultrasonography. Both 8-OHdG and CIMT were significantly higher in subjects with prediabetes as compared to controls (185.80 ± 10.72 pg/mL vs. 126.13 ± 16.01 pg/mL, p < 0.001 and 0.70 ± 0.04 mm vs. 0.57 ± 0.03 mm, p < 0.001, respectively). There was significant and positive correlation of IGT with 8-OHdG (r = 0.783; p < 0.001) and CIMT (r = 0.787; p < 0.001) in prediabetic subjects. Moreover, 8-OHdG showed significant positive correlation with CIMT (r = 0.704; p < 0.001) in prediabetic subjects. In conclusion, increased 8-OHdG and CIMT in prediabetic subjects indicate that biochemical changes of atherosclerosis start even before the onset of diabetes mellitus. Hence, 8-OHdG and CIMT could be used as indicators of cardiovascular disease risk in these subjects.

Abstract
Background Purpose: to establish if exercise training improves clinical outcomes in people with metabolic syndrome (MetS). Registered with PROSPERO international prospective register of systematic reviews (https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/Identifier:CRD42017055491). Data sources: studies were identified through a MEDLINE search strategy (1985 to Jan 12, 2017), Cochrane controlled trials registry, CINAHL and SPORTDiscus. Study selection: prospective randomized or controlled trials of exercise training in humans with metabolic syndrome, lasting 12 weeks or more. Results We included 16 studies with 23 intervention groups; 77,000 patient-hours of exercise training. In analyses of aerobic exercise studies versus control: body mass index was significantly reduced, mean difference (MD) −0.29 (kg m−2) (95% CI −0.44, −0.15, p < 0.0001); body mass was significantly reduced, MD −1.16 kg (95% CI −1.83, −0.48, p = 0.0008); waist circumference was significantly reduced MD −1.37 cm (95% CI −2.02, −0.71, p < 0.0001), peak VO2 was significantly improved MD 3.00 mL kg−1 min−1 (95% CI 1.92, 4.08, p < 0.000001); systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were significantly reduced, MD −2.54 mmHg (95% CI −4.34, −0.75, p = 0.006), and, MD −2.27 mmHg (95% CI −3.47, −1.06, p = 0.0002) respectively; fasting blood glucose was significantly reduced MD −0.16 mmol L−1 (95% CI −0.32, −0.01, p = 0.04); triglycerides were significantly reduced MD −0.21 mmol L−1 (95% CI −0.29, −0.13, p < 0.00001); and low density lipoprotein was significantly reduced MD −0.03 mmol L−1 (95% CI −0.05, −0.00, p = 0.02). In analyses of combined exercise versus control: waist circumference, MD −3.80 cm (95% CI −5.65, −1.95, p < 0.0001); peak VO2 MD 4.64 mL kg−1 min−1 (95% CI 2.42, 6.87, p < 0.0001); systolic blood pressure MD −3.79 mmHg (95% CI −6.18, −1.40, p = 0.002); and high density lipoprotein (HDL) MD 0.14 (95% CI 0.04, 0.25, p = 0.009) were all significantly improved. We found no significant differences between outcome measures between the two exercise interventions. Conclusions Exercise training improves body composition, cardiovascular, and, metabolic outcomes in people with metabolic syndrome. For some outcome measures, isolated aerobic exercise appears optimal.
