Abstract

BACKGROUND

Diabetes contributes to a spectrum of complications encompassing microvascular and macrovascular disorders. This study aimed to explore the correlation between distal sensorimotor polyneuropathy (DSPN) severity and heightened carotid atherosclerosis among individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Method: Participants underwent comprehensive assessments including nerve conduction studies (NCS), Toronto Clinical Neuropathy Score (TCNS) evaluations, assessment of cardiometabolic risk factors, and carotid sonography studies covering dynamic and morphological parameters. The resistance index (RI), pulsatility index (PI), peak systolic velocity (PSV), and end-diastolic velocity (EDV) in both the common carotid artery (CCA) and internal carotid artery (ICA), carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), and carotid plaque score (CPS) were also measured. Peripheral nerve function severity was assessed using composite amplitude scores (CAS) derived from NCS.

RESULTS

Individuals with DSPN exhibited lower EDV in the CCA and ICA (p < 0.0001 and p = 0.002), higher PI and RI in both CCA and ICA (all p < 0.0001), and higher CPS (p = 0.002). They also demonstrated a higher prevalence of retinopathy as an underlying condition, higher index HbA1c, and reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (all p < 0.0001). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed significant associations where eGFR, ICA-PI, index HbA1c, waist circumference, and age were correlated with CAS. Meanwhile, diabetes duration, waist circumference, age, and index HbA1c showed significant associations with TCNS.

CONCLUSIONS

Our study suggests that individuals with T2DM who exhibit more severe carotid atherosclerosis may not only be at increased risk of developing DSPN but also may experience greater severity of DSPN. PI in both the CCA and ICA, along with the CPS, serve as surrogate biomarkers for DSPN severity.

Abstract

BACKGROUND

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a well-established determinant of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Recently, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identified several single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) significantly correlated with DM. The study aimed to explore the relationships of the top significant DM SNPs with carotid atherosclerosis (CA).

METHODS

We used a case-control design and randomly selected 309 cases and 439 controls with and without, respectively, carotid plaque (CP) from a community-based cohort. Eight recent GWAS on DM in East Asians reported hundreds of SNPs with genome-wide significance. The study used the top significant DM SNPs, with a p-value < 10^-16, as the candidate genetic markers of CA. The independent effects of these DM SNPs on CA were assessed by multivariable logistic regression analyses to control the effects of conventional cardio-metabolic risk factors.

RESULTS

Multivariable analyses showed that, 9 SNPs, including rs4712524, rs1150777, rs10842993, rs2858980, rs9583907, rs1077476, rs7180016, rs4383154, and rs9937354, showed promising associations with the presence of carotid plaque (CP). Among them, rs9937354, rs10842993, rs7180016, and rs4383154 showed significantly independent effects. The means (SD) of the 9-locus genetic risk score (9-GRS) of CP-positive and -negative subjects were 9.19 (1.53) and 8.62 (1.63), respectively (p < 0.001). The corresponding values of 4-locus GRS (4-GRS) were 4.02 (0.81) and. 3.78 (0.92), respectively (p < 0.001). The multivariable-adjusted odds ratio of having CP for per 1.0 increase in 9-GRS and 4-GRS were 1.30 (95% CI 1.18-1.44; p = 4.7 × 10^-7) and 1.47 (95% CI 1.74-9.40; p = 6.1 × 10^-5), respectively. The means of multi-locus GRSs of DM patients were similar to those of CP-positive subjects and higher than those of CP-negative or DM-negative subjects.

CONCLUSIONS

We identified 9 DM SNPs showing promising associations with CP. The multi-locus GRSs may be used as biomarkers for the identification and prediction of high-risks subjects for atherosclerosis and atherosclerotic diseases. Future studies on these specific SNPs and their associated genes may provide valuable information for the preventions of DM and atherosclerosis.

Abstract

The cardiac stress testing, carotid duplex, coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring, myocardial perfusion imaging, coronary angiography, C-reactive protein (CRP), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C), total serum cholesterol, duplex ultrasonography, digital subtraction angiography, magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), computed tomography angiography (CTA), digital subtraction angiography, and ankle-brachial index (ABI) independently predict the risks and prognostic outcomes in asymptomatic cardiovascular disease (CVD) patients. The peripheral artery disease (PAD) screening guides the diagnosis, management, and prognosis of hemodynamically significant arterial stenosis, calcification, and malignant hypertension in patients with CVD without symptoms. The 79% sensitivity and 96% specificity of ABI screening, 90% sensitivity and 97% specificity of MRA, and 95% sensitivity and 50% specificity of CTA for tracking arterial occlusion indicate the high prognostic value of these tests in the setting of CVD. The 85% specificity and 60-70% sensitivity of cardiac stress testing substantiate its suitability to determine asymptomatic CVD prognosis related to myocardial ischemia, heart failure, multivessel disease, and unstable angina. The carotid duplex ultrasound potentially identifies long-term mortality, stroke, atherosclerosis, plaque instability, and angiographic stenosis among asymptomatic CVD patients with 94% specificity and 90% sensitivity. The CAC scoring has a positive predictive value (PPV) of 45.7% for identifying aortic valve calcium and PPV of 79.3% for tracking thoracic artery calcium. The medical literature provides substantial evidence concerning the validity, reliability, and prognostic value of cardiovascular testing for asymptomatic patients. Future studies are needed to undertake detailed assessments of benefits versus adverse outcomes associated with the prospective scaling (of cardiovascular testing) across asymptomatic CVD patients.

Abstract

BACKGROUND

The association between glucose variability and the progression of atherosclerosis is not completely understood. We aimed to evaluate the associations of glucose variability with the progression of atherosclerosis in the early stages.

METHODS

We conducted a cross-sectional analysis to investigate the associations of glucose variability, assessed by continuous glucose monitoring, with intima-media thickness (IMT) and gray-scale median (GSM) of the carotid arteries, which are different indicators for the progression of atherosclerosis. We used baseline data from a hospital-based multicenter prospective observational cohort study among Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes without a history of cardiovascular diseases aged between 30 and 80 years. Continuous glucose monitoring was performed by Freestyle Libre Pro, and glucose levels obtained every 15 min for a maximum of eight days were used to calculate the metrics of glucose variability. IMT and GSM were evaluated by ultrasonography, and the former indicates thickening of intima-media complex in the carotid artery wall, while the latter indicates tissue characteristics.

RESULTS

Among 600 study participants (age: 64.9 ± 9.2 (mean ± SD) years; 63.2%: men; HbA1c: 7.0 ± 0.8%), participants with a larger intra- and inter-day glucose variability had a lower GSM and most of these associations were statistically significant. No trend based on glucose variability was shown regarding IMT. Standard deviation of glucose (regression coefficient, β = - 5.822; 95% CI - 8.875 to - 2.768, P < 0.001), glucose coefficient of variation (β = - 0.418; - 0.685 to - 0.151, P = 0.002), mean amplitude of glycemic excursion (β = - 1.689; - 2.567 to - 0.811, P < 0.001), mean of daily differences (β = - 6.500; - 9.758 to - 3.241, P < 0.001), and interquartile range (β = - 4.289; - 6.964 to - 1.614, P = 0.002) had a statistically significant association with mean-GSM after adjustment for conventional cardiovascular risk factors, including HbA1c. No metrics of glucose variability had a statistically significant association with IMT.

CONCLUSIONS

Continuous glucose monitoring-assessed glucose variability was associated with the tissue characteristics of the carotid artery wall in type 2 diabetes patients without cardiovascular diseases.
