[PMID: 38754569 DOI: 10.1016/j.gene.2024.148563] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2024] [Revised: 04/10/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a special type of cardiovascular disease, termed as a situation of abnormal myocardial structure and function that occurs in diabetic patients. However, the most fundamental mechanisms of DCM have not been fully explicated, and useful targets for the therapeutic strategies still need to be explored. METHODS In the present study, we combined bioinformatics analysis and in vitro experiments throughout the process of DCM. Differentially Expressed Genes (DEGs) analysis was performed and the weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was constructed to determine the crucial genes that were tightly connected to DCM. Additionally, Functional enrichment analysis was conducted to define biological pathways. To identify the specific molecular mechanism, the human cardiomyocyte cell line (AC16) was stimulated by high glucose (HG, 50 mM D-glucose) and used to imitate DCM condition. Then, we tentatively examined the effect of high glucose on cardiomyocytes, the expression levels of crucial genes were further validated by in vitro experiments. RESULTS Generally, NPPA, IGFBP5, SERPINE1, and C3 emerged as potential therapeutic targets. Functional enrichment analysis performed by bioinformatics indicated that the pathogenesis of DCM is mainly related to heart muscle contraction and calcium (Ca2+) release activation. In vitro, we discovered that high glucose treatment induced cardiomyocyte injury and exacerbated mitochondrial dysfunction remarkably. CONCLUSION Our research defined four crucial genes, as well as determined that mitochondrial function impairment compromises calcium homeostasis ultimately resulting in contractile dysfunction is a central contributor to DCM progression. Hopefully, this study will offer more effective biomarkers for DCM diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome with a growing global health burden. This review explores the intersection of HF, diabetes mellitus, and sex, highlighting epidemiological patterns, pathophysiological mechanisms, and treatment implications. RECENT FINDINGS Despite similar HF prevalence in men and women, diabetes mellitus (DM) appears to exert a more pronounced impact on HF outcomes in women. Pathophysiological differences involve cardiovascular risk factors, severe left ventricular dysfunction, and coronary artery disease, as well as hormonal influences and inflammatory markers. Diabetic cardiomyopathy introduces a sex-specific challenge, with women experiencing common adverse outcomes related to increased fibrosis and myocardial remodeling. Treatment strategies, particularly sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, exhibit cardiovascular benefits, but their response may differ in women. The link between HF and DM is bidirectional, with diabetes significantly increasing the risk of HF, and vice versa. Additionally, the impact of diabetes on mortality appears more pronounced in women than in men, leading to a modification of the traditional gender gap observed in HF outcomes. A personalized approach is crucial, and further research to improve outcomes in the complex interplay of HF, diabetes, and sex is needed.

Long-term survival following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in women and men: Influence of comorbidities, social characteristics, and resuscitation characteristics. Resuscitation 2024; 201:110265. [PMID: 38866232 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2024.110265] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2024] [Revised: 05/29/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024]
Abstract
AIM We aimed to study sex differences in long-term survival following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) compared to the general population, and determined associations for comorbidities, social characteristics, and resuscitation characteristics with survival in women and men separately. METHODS We followed 2,452 Danish (530 women and 1,922 men) and 1,255 Dutch (259 women and 996 men) individuals aged ≥25 years, who survived 30 days post-OHCA in 2009-2015, until 2019. Using Poisson regression analyses we assessed sex differences in long-term survival and sex-specific associations of characteristics mutually adjusted, and compared survival with an age- and sex-matched general population. The potential predictive value was assessed with the Concordance-index. RESULTS Post-OHCA survival was longer in women than men (adjusted incidence rate ratio (IRR) for mortality 0.74, 95%CI 0.61-0.89 in Denmark; 0.86, 95%CI 0.65-1.15 in the Netherlands). Both sexes had a shorter survival than the general population (e.g., IRR for mortality 3.07, 95%CI 2.55-3.70 and IRR 2.15, 95%CI 1.95-2.37 in Danish women and men). Higher age, glucose lowering medication, no dyslipidaemia medication, unemployment, and a non-shockable initial rhythm were associated with shorter survival in both sexes. Cardiovascular medication, depression/anxiety medication, living alone, low household income, and residential OHCA location were associated with shorter survival in men. Not living with children and bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation provision were associated with shorter survival in women. The Concordance-indexes ranged from 0.51 to 0.63. CONCLUSIONS Women survived longer than men post-OHCA. Several characteristics were associated with long-term post-OHCA survival, with some sex-specific characteristics. In both sexes, these characteristics had low predictive potential.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Heart failure and type 2 diabetes mellitus are critical public health issues. OBJECTIVE To characterize the risk factors for mortality in patients with heart failure and type 2 diabetes mellitus from a large registry in Colombia and to evaluate the potential effect modifications by type 2 diabetes mellitus over other risk factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS Heart failure patients with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus enrolled in the Registro Colombiano de Falla Cardíaca (RECOLFACA) were included. RECOLFACA enrolled adult patients with heart failure diagnosis from 60 medical centers in Colombia during 2017-2019. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality. Survival analysis was performed using adjusted Cox proportional hazard models. RESULTS A total of 2514 patients were included, and the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus was 24.7% (n = 620). We found seven independent predictors of short-term mortality for the general cohort, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, sinus rhythm, triple therapy, nitrates use, statins use, anemia, and hyperkalemia. In the type 2 diabetes mellitus group, only the left ventricle diastolic diameter was an independent mortality predictor (HR = 0.96; 95% CI: 0.93-0.98). There was no evidence of effect modification by type 2 diabetes mellitus on the relationship between any independent predictors and all-cause mortality. However, a significant effect modification by type 2 diabetes mellitus between smoking and mortality was observed. CONCLUSIONS Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus had higher mortality risk. Our results also suggest that type 2 diabetes mellitus diagnosis does not modify the effect of the independent risk factors for mortality in heart failure evaluated. However, type 2 diabetes mellitus significantly modify the risk relation between mortality and smoking in patients with heart failure.

BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2024; 24:214. [PMID: 38632519 PMCID: PMC11025260 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-024-03883-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2023] [Accepted: 04/08/2024] [Indexed: 04/19/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disorders (CVDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide. Lower- and middle-income countries (LMICs), such as Bangladesh, are also affected by several types of CVDs, such as heart failure and stroke. The leading cause of death in Bangladesh has recently switched from severe infections and parasitic illnesses to CVDs. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study dataset comprised a random sample of 391 CVD patients' medical records collected between August 2022 and April 2023 using simple random sampling. Moreover, 260 data points were collected from individuals with no CVD problems for comparison purposes. Crosstabs and chi-square tests were used to determine the association between CVD and the explanatory variables. Logistic regression, Naïve Bayes classifier, Decision Tree, AdaBoost classifier, Random Forest, Bagging Tree, and Ensemble learning classifiers were used to predict CVD. The performance evaluations encompassed accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operator characteristic (AU-ROC) curve. RESULTS Random Forest had the highest precision among the five techniques considered. The precision rates for the mentioned classifiers are as follows: Logistic Regression (93.67%), Naïve Bayes (94.87%), Decision Tree (96.1%), AdaBoost (94.94%), Random Forest (96.15%), and Bagging Tree (94.87%). The Random Forest classifier maintains the highest balance between correct and incorrect predictions. With 98.04% accuracy, the Random Forest classifier achieved the best precision (96.15%), robust recall (100%), and high F1 score (97.7%). In contrast, the Logistic Regression model achieved the lowest accuracy of 95.42%. Remarkably, the Random Forest classifier achieved the highest AUC value (0.989). CONCLUSION This research mainly focused on identifying factors that are critical in impacting patients with CVD and predicting CVD risk. It is strongly advised that the Random Forest technique be implemented in a system for predicting cardiac diseases. This research may change clinical practice by providing doctors with a new instrument to determine a patient's CVD prognosis.

Abstract
Diabetic vascular complications are prevalent and severe among diabetic patients, profoundly affecting both their quality of life and long-term prospects. These complications can be classified into macrovascular and microvascular complications. Under the impact of risk factors such as elevated blood glucose, blood pressure, and cholesterol lipids, the vascular endothelium undergoes endothelial dysfunction, characterized by increased inflammation and oxidative stress, decreased NO biosynthesis, endothelial-mesenchymal transition, senescence, and even cell death. These processes will ultimately lead to macrovascular and microvascular diseases, with macrovascular diseases mainly characterized by atherosclerosis (AS) and microvascular diseases mainly characterized by thickening of the basement membrane. It further indicates a primary contributor to the elevated morbidity and mortality observed in individuals with diabetes. In this review, we will delve into the intricate mechanisms that drive endothelial dysfunction during diabetes progression and its associated vascular complications. Furthermore, we will outline various pharmacotherapies targeting diabetic endothelial dysfunction in the hope of accelerating effective therapeutic drug discovery for early control of diabetes and its vascular complications.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is increasing at an alarming rate, primary due to the rising in aging, obesity and diabetes. Notably, individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) face a significantly elevated risk of HF, leading to more hospitalizations and increased case fatality rates. Several risk factors contribute to HF in T1D, including poor glycemic control, female gender, smoking, hypertension, elevated BMI, and albuminuria. However, early and intensive glycemic control can mitigate the long-term risk of HF in individuals with T1D. The pathophysiology of diabetes-associated HF is complex and multifactorial, and the underlying mechanisms in T1D remain incompletely elucidated. In terms of treatment, much of the evidence comes from type 2 diabetes (T2D) populations, so applying it to T1D requires caution. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors have shown benefits in HF outcomes, even in non-diabetic populations. However, most of the information about HF and the evidence from cardiovascular safety trials related to glucose lowering medications refer to T2D. Glycemic control is key, but the link between hypoglycemia and HF hospitalization risk requires further study. Glycemic variability, common in T1D, is an independent HF risk factor. Technological advances offer the potential to improve glycemic control, including glycemic variability, and may play a role in preventing HF. In summary, HF in T1D is a complex challenge with unique dimensions. This review focuses on HF in individuals with T1D, exploring its epidemiology, risk factors, pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment, which is crucial for developing tailored prevention and management strategies for this population.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases and their associated disorder of heart failure (HF) are major causes of death globally, making it a priority for doctors to detect and predict their onset and medical consequences. Artificial Intelligence (AI) allows doctors to discover clinical indicators and enhance their diagnoses and treatments. Specifically, "eXplainable AI" (XAI) offers tools to improve the clinical prediction models that experience poor interpretability of their results. This work presents an explainability analysis and evaluation of two HF survival prediction models using a dataset that includes 299 patients who have experienced HF. The first model utilizes survival analysis, considering death events and time as target features, while the second model approaches the problem as a classification task to predict death. The model employs an optimization data workflow pipeline capable of selecting the best machine learning algorithm as well as the optimal collection of features. Moreover, different post hoc techniques have been used for the explainability analysis of the model. The main contribution of this paper is an explainability-driven approach to select the best HF survival prediction model balancing prediction performance and explainability. Therefore, the most balanced explainable prediction models are Survival Gradient Boosting model for the survival analysis and Random Forest for the classification approach with a c-index of 0.714 and balanced accuracy of 0.74 (std 0.03) respectively. The selection of features by the SCI-XAI in the two models is similar where "serum_creatinine", "ejection_fraction", and "sex" are selected in both approaches, with the addition of "diabetes" for the survival analysis model. Moreover, the application of post hoc XAI techniques also confirm common findings from both approaches by placing the "serum_creatinine" as the most relevant feature for the predicted outcome, followed by "ejection_fraction". The explainable prediction models for HF survival presented in this paper would improve the further adoption of clinical prediction models by providing doctors with insights to better understand the reasoning behind usually "black-box" AI clinical solutions and make more reasonable and data-driven decisions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is expected to worsen the prognosis of inpatients with heart failure (HF) but the evidence from observational studies is inconsistent. We aimed to compare mortality outcomes and life expectancy among inpatients with HF with or without T2D and explored whether chronic kidney disease (CKD) influenced these associations. METHODS We collected hospital and civil registry records of consecutive inpatients from a tertiary hospital in Switzerland with a diagnosis of HF from the year 2015 to 2019. We evaluated the association of T2D with mortality risk using Cox regression and adjusted for confounders. RESULTS Our final cohort consisted of 10,532 patients with HF of whom 27% had T2D. The median age (interquartile range [IQR]) was 75 [68 to 82] and 78 [68 to 86] for the diabetes and non-diabetes groups, respectively. Over a median follow-up [IQR] of 4.5 years [3.3 to 5.6], 5,347 (51%) of patients died. T2D patients had higher risk of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR] 1.21, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.14 to 1.29). Compared to control (i.e. no T2D nor CKD), average life expectancy (95% CI) among T2D patients, CKD, or both was shorter by 5.4 months (95% CI 1.1 to 9.7), 9.0 months (95% CI 8.4 to 9.6), or 14.8 months (95% CI 12.4 to 17.2), respectively. No difference by sex or ejection fraction category was observed. CONCLUSIONS T2D is associated with a significantly higher risk of all-cause mortality and shorter life expectancy compared to those without among middle-aged and elderly inpatients with HF; presence of CKD may further increase these risks.

Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) is a pathology where the heart and kidney are involved, and the deterioration of one of them leads to the malfunction of the other. Diabetes mellitus (DM) carries a higher risk of HF and a worse prognosis. Furthermore, almost half of people with DM will have chronic kidney disease (CKD), which means that DM is the main cause of kidney failure. The triad of cardiorenal syndrome and diabetes is known to be associated with increased risk of hospitalization and mortality. Cardiorenal units, with a multidisciplinary team (cardiologist, nephrologist, nursing), multiple tools for diagnosis, as well as new treatments that help to better control cardio-renal-metabolic patients, offer holistic management of patients with CRS. In recent years, the appearance of drugs such as sodium-glucose cotransporter type 2 inhibitors, have shown cardiovascular benefits, initially in patients with type 2 DM and later in CKD and heart failure with and without DM2, offering a new therapeutic opportunity, especially for cardiorenal patients. In addition, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists have shown CV benefits in patients with DM and CV disease in addition to a reduced risk of CKD progression.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a risk factor that plays a major role in the onset of heart failure (HF) both directly, by impairing cardiac function, and indirectly, through associated diseases such as hypertension, coronary disease, renal dysfunction, obesity, and other metabolic disorders. In a population of HF patients, the presence of T2DM ranged from 20 to 40%, according to the population studied, risk factor characteristics, geographic area, and age, and it is associated with a worse prognosis. Finally, patients with HF, when compared with those without HF, show an increased risk for the onset of T2DM due to several mechanisms that predispose the HF patient to insulin resistance. Despite the epidemiological data confirmed the relationship between T2DM and HF, the exact prevalence of HF in T2DM comes from interventional trials rather than from observational registries aimed to prospectively evaluate the risk of HF occurrence in T2DM population. This review is focused on the vicious cycle linking HF and T2DM, from epidemiological data to prognostic implications.

The impact of sacubitril/valsartan on outcome in patients suffering from heart failure with a concomitant diabetes mellitus. ESC Heart Fail 2023; 10:943-954. [PMID: 36479630 PMCID: PMC10053359 DOI: 10.1002/ehf2.14239] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2022] [Revised: 10/26/2022] [Accepted: 11/08/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Guidelines classify sacubitril/valsartan as a significant part of medical treatment of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Data have shown that the HbA1c levels in patients with diabetes mellitus could be impacted by sacubitril/valsartan. A possible positive effect in diabetes patients treated with sacubitril/valsartan on outcome and echocardiography parameters is not well studied yet. AIMS The aim of the present study was to compare the impact of sacubitril/valsartan on life-threatening arrhythmias, atrial fibrillation, different echocardiography parameters and congestion rate in patients suffering from HFrEF according to the diagnosis diabetes mellitus or no diabetes mellitus. METHODS AND RESULTS Consecutive 240 patients with HFrEF from 2016 to 2020 were treated with sacubitril/valsartan and separated to concomitant diabetes mellitus (n = 87, median age 68 years interquartile range (IQR) [32-87]) or no diabetes mellitus (n = 153, median age 66 year IQR [34-89]). Different comorbidities and outcome data were evaluated over a follow-up period of 24 months. Arterial hypertension (87% vs. 64%; P < 0.01) and coronary artery disease (74% vs. 60%; P = 0.03) were more often documented in patients with diabetes mellitus compared with patients without diabetes mellitus. Over the follow-up of 24 months several changes were noted in both subgroups: Median left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) increased significantly in non-diabetes (27% IQR [3-44] at baseline to 35% IQR [13-64]; P < 0.001), but not in diabetic patients (29% IQR [10-65] at baseline to 30% IQR [13-55]; P = 0.11). Accordingly, NT-proBNP and troponin-I levels decreased significantly in non-diabetes patients (NT-brain natriuretic peptide [NT-proBNP] from median 1445 pg/mL IQR [12.6-74 676] to 491 pg/mL IQR [13-4571]; P < 0.001, troponin-I levels from 0.099 ng/mL IQR [0.009-138.69] to 0.023 ng/mL IQR [0.006-0.635]; P < 0.001), but not in diabetic patients (NT-proBNP from 1395 pg/mL IQR [100-29 924] to 885 pg/mL IQR [159-4331]; P = 0.06, troponin-I levels from 0.05 ng/mL IQR [0.013-103.0] to 0.020 ng/mL IQR [0.015-0.514]; P = 0.27). No significant change of laboratory parameters e. g. glomerular filtration rate, potassium level and creatinine levels were found in diabetes or non-diabetes patients. Comparing further echocardiography data, left atrial surface area, right atrial surface area, E/A ratio did not show a significant change either in the diabetes or non-diabetes group. However, the tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion was significantly increased in non-diabetes mellitus patients (from 17 mm IQR [3-31] to 18 mm [2.5-31]; P = 0.04), and not in diabetic s patients (17.5 mm IQR [8-30] to 18 mm IQR [14-31]; P = 0.70); the systolic pulmonary artery pressure remained unchanged in both groups. During follow-up, a similar rate of ventricular tachyarrhythmias was observed in both groups. The congestion rate decreased significantly in both groups, in diabetes patients (44.4% before sacubitril/valsartan and 13.5% after 24 months treatment; P = 0.0009) and in non-diabetic patients (28.4% before sacubitril/valsartan and 8.4% after 24 months treatment; P = 0.0004). The all-cause mortality rate was higher in patients with diabetes mellitus as compared with those without diabetes (25% vs. 8.1%; P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Sacubitril/valsartan reverses cardiac remodelling in non-diabetes patients. However, it reduces the congestion rate in diabetes and non-diabetes patients. The rates of ventricular tachyarrhythmias were similar in DM compared with non-DM over follow-up. The mortality rate remained to be over follow-up higher in diabetes patients compared with non-diabetes; however, it was lower compared with published data on diabetes and concomitant HFrEF not treated with sacubitril/valsartan.

Abstract
Due to the lifelong nature of diabetes mellitus (DM), it has been demonstrated to have significant effects on patients' morbidity and mortality. The present study aimed to assess the effects of DM on the clinical outcome and survival in patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) due to myocardial infarction (MI) and to examine the relationship of DM to the type of the MI and to left ventricular (LV) and renal functions. A total of 12,270 patients with ST-elevation MI (STEMI) or non-ST-elevation MI (NSTEMI) were revascularized at our Institution between 2005 and 2013. In this pool of patients, 4388 subjects had DM, while 7018 cases had no DM. In both STEMI and NSTEMI, the 30-day and 1-year survival were worse in diabetic patients as compared to non-diabetic cases. In the patients with DM, NSTEMI showed worse prognosis within 1-year than STEMI similarly to non-diabetic subjects. Regarding survival, the presence of DM seemed to be more important than the type of MI. Regardless of the presence of DM, reduced LV function was a maleficent prognostic sign and DM significantly reduced the prognosis both in case of reduced and normal LV function. Survival is primarily affected by LV function, rather than DM. Worse renal function is associated with worse 30-day and 1-year survival in both cases with and without DM. Considering different renal functions, the presence of DM worsens both short- and long-term survival. Survival is primarily affected by renal function, rather than DM. The results from a high-volume PCI center confirm significant the negative prognostic impact of DM on survival in MI patients. DM is a more important prognostic factor than the type of the MI. However, survival is primarily affected by LV and renal functions, rather than DM. These results could highlight our attention on the importance of recent DM treatment with new drugs including SGLT-2 inhibitors and GLP-1 antagonists with beneficial effects on survival.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome, associated with high rates of mortality, hospitalization, and impairment of quality of life. Obesity and type 2 diabetes are major cardiometabolic drivers, represented as distinct stages of adiposity- and dysglycemia-based chronic disease (ABCD, DBCD), respectively, and leading to cardiometabolic-based chronic disease (CMBCD). This review focuses on one aspect of the CMBCD model: how ABCD and DBCD influence genesis and progression of HF phenotypes. Specifically, the relationships of ABCD and DBCD stages with structural and functional heart disease, HF risk, and outcomes in overt HF are detailed. Also, evidence-based lifestyle, pharmacological, and procedural interventions that promote or reverse cardiac remodeling and outcomes in individuals at risk or with HF are discussed. In summary, driver-based chronic disease models for individuals at risk or with HF can expose prevention targets for more comprehensive interventions to improve clinical outcomes. Future randomized trials that investigate structured lifestyle, pharmacological, and procedural therapies specifically tailored for the CMBCD model are needed to develop personalized care plans to decrease HF susceptibility and improve outcomes.

Abstract
The negative impact of diabetes mellitus (DM) on the cardiovascular system has been confirmed by numerous clinical studies. However, there are experimental studies that show an increase in the resistance of the heart to ischemic and reperfusion damage in animals with DM. This phenomenon is characterized by a smaller size of the infarct zone, better preservation of the contractile function of the myocardium, and a lower incidence of ischemic and reperfusion arrhythmias. It is assumed that at a certain stage in the development of DM, a “metabolic window” is formed, in which metabolic alterations at the cellular level trigger adaptive mechanisms that increase the viability of cardiomyocytes. Published data confirm that the magnitude of the protective effect induced by DM is comparable to, and in some cases even exceeds, the effect of the preconditioning phenomenon. It is recognized that the mechanisms that protect the heart from ischemic and reperfusion damage against the background of DM are universal and are associated with the modulation of the antioxidant system, apoptosis factors, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and signaling systems that ensure cell survival. The one of the main pathogenic factor in DM is hyperglycemia, but under stress it plays the role of an adaptive mechanism aimed at meeting the increased energy demand in pathological conditions. Probably, at a certain stage of DM, hyperglycemia becomes a trigger for the development of protective effects and activates not only signaling pathways, but also the restructuring of energy metabolism, which makes it possible to maintain ATP production at a sufficient level to maintain the vital activity of heart cells under ischemia/reperfusion conditions. It is possible that an increased level of glucose, accompanied by the activation of insulin-independent mechanisms of its entry into cells, as well as the availability of this energy substrate, will contribute to a better restoration of energy production in heart cells after a infarction, which, in turn, will significantly reduce the degree of myocardial damage and will help preserve the contractile function of the heart. Identification of the conditions and mechanisms of the cardioprotective phenomenon induced by DM will make it possible to simulate the metabolic state in which the protection of cardiomyocytes from damaging factors is realized.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the prevalence and characteristics of children with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) who reduce their body mass index (BMI) z-score (BMIz) by >.25, a goal in obesity medicine, and to determine the BMIz decrease needed for serum aminotransferase normalization. STUDY DESIGN This retrospective, single-center study included patients aged <18 years followed for NAFLD. Patients who had undergone weight loss surgery or had other reasons for weight loss/gain were excluded. Logistic regression was used to determine the odds of achieving a BMIz change of >-.25, as well as predictors of this outcome. RESULTS Of the 784 children who met the study criteria (median age, 13 years; 66% male; 24% Hispanic), 541 had a lowest BMIz at >90 days following the baseline clinic visit. Of these children, 168 (31%) had a BMIz change of >-.25 from baseline over a median of 367 days (IQR, 201-678 days). Decreases in serum aminotransferase and lipid levels were seen in both groups (with and without a BMIz change of >-.25); however, these decreases were more pronounced in children who achieved a BMIz drop of >.25. Hemoglobin A1c concentration did not change in either group. Young age (OR, .861; 95% CI, .81-.92; P < .01) and non-Hispanic ethnicity (OR of non-Hispanic vs Hispanic, .61; 95% CI, .38-.97; P < .04) were predictors of a BMIz change >-.25. The BMIz decrease associated with normalization of serum alanine aminotransferase was .27. CONCLUSIONS A BMIz reduction of >.25 is associated with significant changes in serum aminotransferase levels. These findings can further guide the clinical management of children with NAFLD.

Abstract
AIMS People with diabetes are at high risk for cardiovascular events including heart failure (HF). We examined the effect of the glucagon-like peptide 1 agonist dulaglutide on incident HF events and other cardiovascular outcomes in those with or without prior HF in the randomized placebo-controlled Researching Cardiovascular Events with a Weekly Incretin in Diabetes (REWIND) trial. METHODS AND RESULTS The REWIND major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) outcome was the first occurrence of a composite endpoint of non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, or death from cardiovascular causes (including unknown causes). In this post-hoc analysis, a HF event was defined as an adjudication-confirmed hospitalization or urgent evaluation for HF. Of the 9901 participants studied over a median follow-up of 5.4 years, 213/4949 (4.3%) randomly assigned to dulaglutide and 226/4952 (4.6%) participants assigned to placebo experienced a HF event (hazard ratio [HR] 0.93, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.77-1.12; p = 0.456). In the 853 (8.6%) participants with HF at baseline, there was no change in either MACE or HF events with dulaglutide as compared to participants without HF (p = 0.44 and 0.19 for interaction, respectively). Combined cardiovascular death and HF events were marginally reduced with dulaglutide compared to placebo (HR 0.88, 95% CI 0.78-1.00; p = 0.050) but unchanged in patients with and without HF at baseline (p = 0.31). CONCLUSIONS Dulaglutide was not associated with a reduction in HF events in patients with type 2 diabetes regardless of baseline HF status over 5.4 years of follow-up.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Historical concerns about cardiovascular (CV) risks associated with certain glucose-lowering medications gave rise to the introduction of cardiovascular outcomes trials (CVOTs). Initially implemented to help monitor the CV safety of glucose-lowering drugs in patients with T2D, who either had established CVD or were at high risk of CVD, data that emerged from some of these trials started to show benefits. Alongside the anticipated CV safety of many of these agents, evidence for certain sodium-glucose transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have revealed potential cardioprotective effects in patients with T2D who are at high risk of CVD events. Reductions in 3-point major adverse CV events (3P-MACE) and CV death have been noted in some of these CVOTs, with additional benefits including reduced risks of hospitalisation for heart failure, progression of renal disease, and all-cause mortality. These new data are leading to a paradigm shift in the current management of T2D, with international guidelines now prioritising SGLT2 inhibitors and/or GLP-1 RAs in certain patient populations. However, clinicians are faced with a large volume of CVOT data when seeking to use this evidence base to bring opportunities to improve CV, heart failure and renal outcomes, and even reduce mortality, in their patients with T2D. The aim of this review is to provide an in-depth summary of CVOT data-crystallising the key findings, from safety to efficacy-and to offer a practical perspective for physicians. Finally, we discuss the next steps for the post-CVOT era, with ongoing studies that may further transform clinical practice and improve outcomes for people with T2D, heart failure or renal disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Recent studies reported an association between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and increased risk of new-onset heart failure (HF). However, the magnitude of the risk and whether this risk changes with severity of liver disease remains uncertain. We performed a meta-analysis of observational studies to quantify the magnitude of the association between NAFLD and risk of new-onset HF. DESIGN We systematically searched Scopus, Web of Science and PubMed from database inception to March 2022 to identify eligible observational studies, in which NAFLD was diagnosed by serum biomarkers/scores, International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes, imaging techniques or liver histology. The primary outcome was new-onset HF, as assessed mainly by ICD codes. Data from selected studies were extracted, and meta-analysis was performed using random-effects models to obtain summary hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% CIs. RESULTS We identified 11 longitudinal cohort studies with aggregate data on 11 242 231 middle-aged individuals from different countries and 97 716 cases of incident HF over a median of 10 years. NAFLD was associated with a moderately higher risk of new-onset HF (pooled random-effects hazard ratio 1.50, 95% CI 1.34 to 1.67, p<0.0001; I 2=94.8%). This risk was independent of age, sex, ethnicity, adiposity measures, diabetes, hypertension and other common cardiovascular risk factors. Sensitivity analyses did not change these results. The funnel plot did not show any significant publication bias. CONCLUSION NAFLD is associated with a 1.5-fold higher long-term risk of new-onset HF, regardless of the presence of diabetes, hypertension and other common cardiovascular risk factors. However, the observational design of the studies does not allow for proving causality.

Abstract
Background Type-2 diabetes (T2D), chronic kidney disease, and heart failure (HF) share epidemiological and pathophysiological features. Although their prevalence was described, there is limited contemporary, high-resolution, epidemiological data regarding the overlap among them. We aimed to describe the epidemiological intersections between T2D, HF, and kidney dysfunction in an entire database, overall and by age and sex. Methods This is a cross-sectional analysis of adults ≥ 25 years, registered in 2019 at Maccabi Healthcare Services, a large healthcare maintenance organization in Israel. Collected data included sex, age, presence of T2D or HF, and last estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in the past two years. Subjects with T2D, HF, or eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 were defined as within the diabetes-cardio-renal (DCR) spectrum. Results Overall, 1,389,604 subjects (52.2% females) were included; 445,477 (32.1%) were 25– < 40 years, 468,273 (33.7%) were 40– < 55 years, and 475,854 (34.2%) were ≥ 55 years old. eGFR measurements were available in 74.7% of the participants and in over 97% of those with T2D or HF. eGFR availability increased in older age groups. There were 140,636 (10.1%) patients with T2D, 54,187 (3.9%) with eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73m2, and 11,605 (0.84%) with HF. Overall, 12.6% had at least one condition within the DCR spectrum, 2.0% had at least two, and 0.23% had all three. Cardiorenal syndrome (both HF and eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73m2) was prevalent in 0.40% of the entire population and in 2.3% of those with T2D. In patients with both HF and T2D, 55.2% had eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73m2 and 15.8% had eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73m2. Amongst those within the DCR spectrum, T2D was prominent in younger participants, but was gradually replaced by HF and eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73m2 with increasing age. The congruence between all three conditions increased with age. Conclusions This large, broad-based study provides a contemporary, high-resolution prevalence of the DCR spectrum and its components. The results highlight differences in dominance and degree of congruence between T2D, HF, and kidney dysfunction across ages.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare clinical outcomes in diabetic patients with heart failure managed by insulin with those managed by non-insulin (oral hypoglycemic agents and/or lifestyle modification) based therapy. METHODS PubMed and Scopus databases were searched for studies conducted on diabetic patients with heart failure. Studies were to compare outcomes of patients managed by insulin versus non-insulin therapies. RESULTS 15 studies were included. Compared to those who were managed using non-insulin therapy, insulin-treated patients had increased risk of all-cause mortality (RR 1.46, 95% CI: 1.14, 1.88) and cardiovascular specific mortality (RR 1.62, 95% CI: 1.33, 1.96). Those managed using insulin also had increased risk of hospitalization (RR 1.45, 95% CI: 1.09, 1.93) and readmission (RR 1.49, 95% CI: 1.32, 1.67). There was no additional risk for stroke (RR 1.07, 95% CI: 0.91, 1.27) or myocardial infarction (MI) (RR 1.10, 95% CI: 0.96, 1.27) between the two groups of patients. CONCLUSIONS Receipt of insulin among diabetic patients with heart failure was associated with an increased risk of mortality, hospitalization and readmission compared to management using oral hypoglycemic agents and/or lifestyle modification. Such patients should be closely monitored for any adverse events.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress that can lead to diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM), which can often remain undetected until late stages of the disease. However, myocardial injury occurs before the onset of measurable cardiac dysfunction, although its molecular correlates are poorly understood. In this study, we made a DM rat induced by a high-fat diet combined with low and high doses of streptozotocin (STZ) to emulate pre and early DCM. RNA-sequencing analysis of ventricular tissue revealed a differential transcriptome profile and abnormal activation of pathways involved in fatty acid metabolism, oxidative phosphorylation, cardiac structure and function, insulin resistance, calcium signalling, apoptosis, and TNF signalling. Moreover, using high glucose-treated human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CM), we recapitulated the cardiac cellular phenotype of DM and identified several molecular correlates that may promote the development of DCM. In conclusion, we have developed an experimental framework to target pathways underlying the progression of DCM.

Abstract
Trotz Verbesserungen in der Therapie des Diabetes und besseren Versorgungbedingungen weisen die Betroffenen aktuell im Vergleich zur Allgemeinbevölkerung noch immer ein deutlich erhöhtes Risiko für physische wie psychische Folgeerkrankungen sowie eine reduzierte Lebensqualität auf. Etwa 21 % aller Todesfälle sind in Deutschland auf Diabetes und seine Folgeerkrankungen zurückzuführen, das Mortalitätsrisiko ist für Menschen mit Diabetes um mehr als das 1,5-Fache gegenüber Menschen ohne Diabetes erhöht. In dieser Übersicht werden die Verbreitung und die Risikofaktoren für die häufigsten körperlichen und psychischen Folgen des Diabetes beschrieben sowie deren Einflüsse auf die Lebensqualität der Patienten. Zusammenhänge zwischen den Folgeerkrankungen und einer erhöhten Mortalität werden aufgezeigt. In großen Interventionsstudien konnte die Bedeutung einer guten Glukoseeinstellung – vor allem zu Beginn der Erkrankung – in Hinblick auf eine Senkung der Mortalitätsrate gezeigt werden, weitere wichtige Einflussfaktoren sind z. B. Blutdruck, Blutfette und Rauchen. Weltweite Studienergebnisse deuten auf einen stabilen Trend hinsichtlich einer verbesserten Lebenserwartung von Menschen mit Diabetes in den letzten Jahren hin. Zukünftig könnte der positive Trend durch bessere Versorgungsstrukturen und neue Technologien sowie digitale Anwendungen in der Forschung und Therapie fortgesetzt werden. Mithilfe der Präzisionsmedizin könnten individuelle Risikofaktoren und protektive Faktoren erkannt werden, um der Entstehung von Folgekomplikationen noch besser vorzubeugen.

Abstract
AIMS This study estimated national prevalence and trends of diagnosed and undiagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and prediabetes among heart failure (HF) patients in the U.S. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 527 participants aged 20+ years with a diagnosis of HF, using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2005-2016. We assessed prevalence estimates of diagnosed and undiagnosed T2DM and prediabetes stratified by age-standardized sociodemographic and health characteristics. Trends of T2DM and prediabetes prevalence were examined using logistic regressions. RESULTS Prevalence rates of diagnosed and undiagnosed T2DM among HF patients were 34.7% (95% confidence interval (CI), 29.2-40.3%) and 12.8% (95% CI, 9.2-16.9%), respectively. Prediabetes affected 39.1% (95% CI, 33.6-44.9%) of HF patients. Prevalence estimates of diagnosed T2DM were significantly different between non-Hispanic White (20.1% [95% CI, 13.5-27.6%]) and Hispanic participants (52.1% [95% CI, 35.9-68.0%]) (P < 0.001). The prevalence of T2DM and prediabetes did not significantly change between 2005 and 2016. CONCLUSIONS Prevalence rates of T2DM and prediabetes among community-dwelling HF patients in the U.S. remained high between 2005 and 2016. Prevention of and targeted intervention for T2DM among at-risk HF patients is needed, particularly among those of Hispanic origin.

Abstract
CONTEXT Early-onset diabetes has been associated with unfavorable cardiovascular risk but data on heart failure (HF) in this subpopulation are scarce. OBJECTIVE We aimed to study the risk of, and risk factors for, incident HF in individuals with early-onset type 2 diabetes. METHODS We studied 606 individuals with type 2 diabetes diagnosed before 40 years of age (early-onset) and 1258 counterparts with diabetes diagnosed from 41 to 65 years of age (usual-onset) with no HF history, at a regional hospital, over a median follow-up period of 7.1 years. Incident HF by European Cardiology Society criteria was determined. RESULTS A total of 62 and 108 HF events were identified in the early- and usual-onset groups (1.55 and 1.29 per 100 patient-years), respectively. Compared with usual-onset counterparts, individuals with early-onset diabetes had a 1.20-fold unadjusted (95% CI, 0.88-1.63; P = 0.26) and 1.91-fold age-adjusted (95% CI, 1.37-2.66; P < 0.001) hazard ratio (HR) for incident HF. Adjustment for traditional cardiometabolic risk factors only moderately mitigated the hazards (adjusted HR 1.69; 95% CI, 1.19-2.40; P = 0.003). However, additional adjustment for estimated glomerular filtration rate and albuminuria markedly attenuated the association of early-onset age with incident HF (adjusted HR 1.24; 95% CI, 0.87-1.77; P = 0.24). Notably, a long diabetes duration was not significantly associated with HF risk after accounting for kidney measures. CONCLUSION Individuals with early-onset diabetes have at least the same absolute risk and a 2-fold age-adjusted relative risk for incident HF. Excess cardiorenal risk factors but not a long diabetes duration are main drivers for HF development in this diabetic population.

Abstract
Background: Due to the healthcare crisis caused by COVID-19, nurses have been exposed to stressful, uncertain situations. In such situations, emotional coping strategies are especially important due to their repercussion on health. The purpose of this study is analyze the relationships between nurses’ coping strategies and health, with attention to factors related to perceived threat and/or someone close to them is COVID-19 positive. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was done with a sample of 351 nurses in Spain. In addition to the questionnaire on perception of threat from COVID-19, the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire and the General Health Questionnaire, an ad hoc question asked them whether someone close to them was COVID-19 positive. Results: Perceived threat and use of negative coping strategies were related, and these strategies were related to a greater presence of somatic symptoms, anxiety, social dysfunction, and depression. Conclusions: Given the work and personal influence of coping on nurses, interventions must be designed to promote adaptive strategies.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) represent two important public health problems, and despite improvements in the management of both diseases, they are responsible for high rates of hospitalizations and mortality. T2DM accelerates physiological cardiac aging through hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia. Thus, HF and T2DM are chronic diseases widely represented in elderly people who often are affected by numerous comorbidities with important functional limitations making it difficult to apply the current guidelines. Several antidiabetic drugs should be used with caution in elderly individuals with T2DM. For instance, sulfonylureas should be avoided due to the risk of hypoglycemia associated with its use. Insulin should be used with caution because it is associated with higher risk of hypoglycemia, and may determine fluid retention which can lead to worsening of HF. Thiazolindinediones should be avoided due to the increased risk of fluid retention and HF. Biguanides may lead to a slightly increased risk of lactic acidosis in particular in elderly individuals with impaired renal function. Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors are safe having few side effects, minimal risk of hypoglycemia, and a neutral effect on cardiovascular (CV) outcome, even if it has been reported that saxagliptin treatment is associated with increased risk of hospitalizations for HF (hHF). Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have shown a CV protection without a significant reduction in hHF. On the other hand, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have shown a significant improvement in CV outcome, with a strong reduction of hHF and a positive impact on renal damage progression. However, it is necessary to consider the possible some side effects related to their use in elderly individuals including hypotension, bone fractures, and ketoacidosis.It is important to remark that elderly patients, in particular the very elderly, are not sufficiently represented in the trials; thus, the management and treatment of elderly diabetic patients with HF should be mainly based on the integration of scientific evidence with clinical judgment and patients' condition, with respect to the dignity and quality of life.

Abstract
A strong, bidirectional relationship exists between diabetes mellitus (DM) and heart failure (HF) and DM is responsible of the activation of several molecular and pathophysiological mechanisms that may, on the long term, damage the heart. However, the prognostic role of DM in the context of chronic and acute HF is still not yet defined and there are several gaps of evidence in the literature on this topic. These gaps are related to the wide phenotypic heterogeneity of patients with chronic and acute HF and to the concept that not all diabetic patients are the same, but there is the necessity to better characterize the disease and each single patient, also considering the role of other possible comorbidities. The aim of the present review is to summarize the pathophysiological mechanisms subtending the negative effect of DM in HF and analyze the available data exploring the prognostic impact of such comorbidity in both chronic and acute HF.

Abstract
Background There are limited data on the lifetime risk of heart failure (HF) in people with type 2 diabetes and how incidence has changed over time. We estimated the cumulative incidence and incidence rates of HF among Danish adults with type 2 diabetes between 1995 and 2018 using nationwide data. Methods and Results In total, 398 422 patients (49% women) with type 2 diabetes were identified. During follow‐up, 36 400 (9%) were diagnosed with HF and 121 459 (30%) were censored due to death. Using the Aalen‐Johansen estimators, accounting for the risk of death, the estimated residual lifetime risk of HF at age 50 years was calculated as 24% (95% CI 22%–27%) in women and 27% (25%–28%) in men. During the observational period, the proportion of patients treated with statins, angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers, and metformin increased from <30% to >60%. Similarly, the annual incidence rates of HF decreased significantly, with declines being greater in older versus younger individuals (5% versus 2% in age >50 versus ≤50 years, respectively; P<0.0001) and in women versus men (5% versus 4%, P=0.02), but similar in patients with and without IHD (4% versus 4%, P=0.53). Conclusions The current lifetime risk of HF in type 2 diabetes approximates 1 in 4 for men and women. Paralleled by an increase in use of evidence‐based pharmacotherapy over the past decades, the risk of developing HF has declined across several subgroups and regardless of underlying IHD, suggesting that optimal diabetes treatment can mitigate HF risk.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) has been a hot topic in diabetology in the last few years, mainly due to the central role of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (iSGLT2) in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease and heart failure. It is well known that HF is a common complication in diabetes. However, most of the knowledge about it and the evidence of cardiovascular safety trials with antidiabetic drugs refer to type 2 diabetes (T2D). The epidemiology, etiology, and pathophysiology of HF in type 1 diabetes (T1D) is still not well studied, though there are emerging data about it since life expectancy for T1D has increased in the last decades and there are more elderly patients with T1D. The association of T1D and HF confers a worse prognosis than in T2D, thus it is important to investigate the characteristics, risk factors, and pathophysiology of this disease in order to effectively design prevention strategies and therapeutic tools.

Abstract
Background Carvedilol may have favorable glycemic properties compared with metoprolol, but it is unknown if carvedilol has mortality benefit over metoprolol in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Methods and Results Using Danish nationwide databases between 2010 and 2018, we followed patients with new‐onset HFrEF treated with either carvedilol or metoprolol for all‐cause mortality until the end of 2018. Follow‐up started 120 days after initial HFrEF diagnosis to allow initiation of guideline‐directed medical therapy. There were 39 260 patients on carvedilol or metoprolol at baseline (mean age 70.8 years, 35% women), of which 9355 (24%) had T2D. Carvedilol was used in 2989 (32%) patients with T2D and 10 411 (35%) of patients without T2D. Users of carvedilol had a lower prevalence of atrial fibrillation (20% versus 35%), but other characteristics appeared well‐balanced between the groups. Totally 11 306 (29%) were deceased by the end of follow‐up. We observed no mortality differences between carvedilol and metoprolol, multivariable‐adjusted hazard ratio (HR) 0.97 (0.90–1.05) in patients with T2D versus 1.00 (0.95–1.05) for those without T2D, P for difference =0.99. Rates of new‐onset T2D were lower in users of carvedilol versus metoprolol; age, sex, and calendar year adjusted HR 0.83 (0.75–0.91), P<0.0001. Conclusions In a contemporary clinical cohort of HFrEF patients with and without T2D, carvedilol was not associated with a reduction in long‐term mortality compared with metoprolol. However, carvedilol was associated with lowered risk of new‐onset T2D supporting the assertion that carvedilol has a more favorable metabolic profile than metoprolol.

Abstract
Despite decades of research into risk-reduction strategies, cardiovascular disease and renal disease remain leading causes of morbidity and mortality among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Given the tight clustering of cardiovascular and renal disease with the metabolic abnormalities of type 2 diabetes mellitus, we can think of these conditions together as cardiovascular-renal-metabolic disease states. A holistic view of cardiovascular-renal-metabolic disease states is critical to provide integrated patient-centered care to individuals with these disease states. Here, we explore the cardiovascular and renal risks associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus and highlight the importance of reducing cardiovascular-renal-metabolic disease risk in a comprehensive manner. We advocate a cross-disciplinary, team-based model to manage cardiovascular-renal-metabolic disease risk among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
In the Netherlands, approximately 250,000 people are living with heart failure. About one-third of them have comorbid diabetes mellitus type 2. Until recently, the effects of antidiabetic agents on heart failure were largely unknown. This changed after an observed increased risk of heart failure and ischaemic heart disease associated with thiazolidinediones that prompted the requirement for cardiovascular outcome trials for new glucose-lowering drugs. In the past decade, three new classes of antidiabetic agents have become available (i.e. dipeptidyl peptidase‑4 inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide‑1 receptor agonists and sodium-glucose cotransporter‑2 (SGLT2) inhibitors). Although the first two classes demonstrated no beneficial effects on heart failure compared to placebo in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2, SGLT2 inhibitors significantly and consistently lowered the risk of incident and worsening heart failure. Two recent trials indicated that these favourable effects were also present in non-diabetic patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, resulting in significantly lower risks of hospitalisation for heart failure and presumably also cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. SGLT2 inhibitors have been shown to be benefit on top of recommended heart failure therapy including sacubitril/valsartan and may also prove beneficial for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. In this review, we discuss the effects of antidiabetic agents on heart failure.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The objectives of this systematic literature review were to identify and synthesize published data describing the epidemiology and mortality of CVD in the T2DM population and the associated economic burden. METHODS We conducted a systematic review searching the PubMed and MEDES databases from 2009 to 2019 using predefined selection criteria. Peer-reviewed observational studies reporting primary or secondary data on CVD prevalence, incidence, mortality, resource use and costs in patients with T2DM in Spain, written in English and Spanish, were included. Data were tabulated and summarized descriptively. RESULTS Of 706 articles identified, 52 were included in the review. Most studies were based on data from hospital discharge databases and registries. The reported prevalence of CVD among patients with T2DM ranged from 6.9 to 40.8%. The prevalence of coronary heart disease ranged from 4.7 to 37%, stroke from 3.5 to 19.6%, peripheral artery disease from 2.5 to 13.0%, and heart failure from 4.3 to 20.1%. In-hospital CVD mortality rates ranged from 5.6 to 10.8%. Direct costs due to CVD in hospitalized patients with T2DM were increased (> 50%) compared with patients without CVD. No studies analysed indirect costs of CVD in patients with T2DM. CONCLUSIONS The burden of CVD among patients with T2DM, combined with the elevated costs of care, highlights the importance of early prevention as part of integrated management of the disease to improve clinical and economic outcomes.

Abstract
AIMS Health services worldwide face the challenge of providing care for increasingly culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) populations. The aims of this study were to determine whether CALD patients hospitalized with acute heart failure (HF) are at increased risk of rehospitalization and emergency department (ED) visitation after discharge, compared to non-CALD patients, and within CALD patients to ascertain the impact of limited English proficiency (LEP) on outcomes. METHODS AND RESULTS A cohort of 1613 patients discharged from hospital following an episode of acute HF was derived from hospital administrative datasets. CALD status was based on both country of birth and primary spoken language. Comorbidities, HF subtype, age, sex and socioeconomic status, and hospital readmission and ED visitation incidences, were compared between groups. A Cox proportional hazard model was employed to adjust for potential confounders. The majority of patients were classified as CALD [1030 (64%)]. Of these, 488 (30%) were designated as English proficient (CALD-EP) and 542 (34%) were designated CALD-LEP. Compared to non-CALD, CALD-LEP patients exhibited a greater cumulative incidence of HF-related readmission and ED visitation, as expressed by an adjusted hazard ratio (HR) [1.27 (1.02-1.57) and 1.40 (1.18-1.67), respectively]; this difference was not significant for all-cause readmission [adjusted HR 1.03 (0.88-1.20)]. CALD-EP showed a non-significant trend towards increased rehospitalization and ED visitation. CONCLUSION This study suggests that CALD patients with HF, in particular those designated as CALD-LEP, have an increased risk of HF rehospitalization and ED visitation. Further research to elucidate the underlying reasons for this disparity are warranted.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus has reached epidemic proportion worldwide. One of the diabetic complications is cardiomyopathy, characterized by early left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction, followed by development of systolic dysfunction and ventricular dilation at a late stage. The pathogenesis is multifactorial, and there is no effective treatment yet. In recent years, 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE), a toxic aldehyde generated from lipid peroxidation, is implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. Its high bioreactivity toward proteins results in cellular damage. Mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) is the major enzyme that detoxifies 4-HNE. The development of small-molecule ALDH2 activator provides an opportunity for treating diabetic cardiomyopathy. This study found that AD-9308, a water-soluble andhighly selective ALDH2 activator, can improve LV diastolic and systolic functions, and wall remodeling in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice. AD-9308 treatment dose-dependently lowered serum 4-HNE levels and 4-HNE protein adducts in cardiac tissue from diabetic mice, accompanied with ameliorated myocardial fibrosis, inflammation, and apoptosis. Improvements of mitochondrial functions, sarco/endoplasmic reticulumcalcium handling and autophagy regulation were also observed in diabetic mice with AD-9308 treatment. In conclusion, ADLH2 activation effectively ameliorated diabetic cardiomyopathy, which may be mediated through detoxification of 4-HNE. Our findings highlighted the therapeutic potential of ALDH2 activation for treating diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Diabetes and heart failure (HF) are common diseases, each affecting large segments of the world population. Moreover, prevalence rates for both are expected to rise dramatically over coming decades. The high prevalence rates of both diseases and wellrecognized association of diabetes as a risk factor for HF make it inevitable that both diseases co-exist in a large number of patients, complicating their management and increasing the risk of a poor outcome. Management of diabetes has been shown to impact clinical events in patients with HF and there is emerging evidence that agents used to treat diabetes can reduce HF events, even in non-diabetic patients. In this review we summarize the clinical course and treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and HF and review the efficacy and safety of pharmacological agents in patients with T2DM at risk for HF and those with established disease.

Left atrial (LA) enlargement was observed in 27 patients (13.6%) and global longitudinal strain (GLS) was reduced in 38 patients (20.3%). In univariate analysis, LV hypertrophy (LVH) or increased h/r were associated with age, renal function, hypertension and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) plasma level. LA dilation was associated with age, history of hypertension, diabetes duration and complications, insulin treatment, BNP level and renal function. GLS was associated with body mass index (BMI) and, in a borderline manner, with diabetes duration. In multivariate analysis, hypertension was associated with LVH and with h/r and a borderline relationship was observed for female gender (LVH), age and insulin treatment (h/r). Age, hypertension and, in a borderline manner, insulin treatment were associated with LA dilation. BMI and shorter diabetes duration were associated with reduced GLS. CONCLUSION A high prevalence of asymptomatic cardiac dysfunction/structural abnormalities was observed in patients with T2DM without overt cardiac disease and was associated with either age, diabetes duration or treatment and with comorbidities including hypertension and obesity. Whether these preclinical abnormalities are associated with poor outcomes warrants further study.

Association of Plasma Leucine-Rich α-2 Glycoprotein 1, a Modulator of Transforming Growth Factor-β Signaling Pathway, With Incident Heart Failure in Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes. Diabetes Care 2021; 44:571-577. [PMID: 33293346 DOI: 10.2337/dc20-2065] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2020] [Accepted: 11/01/2020] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Leucine-rich α-2 glycoprotein 1 (LRG1) is a circulating protein potentially involved in several pathways related to pathogenesis of heart failure (HF). We aimed to study whether plasma LRG1 is associated with risks of incident HF and hospitalization attributable to HF (HHF) in individuals with type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 1,978 individuals with type 2 diabetes were followed for a median of 7.1 years (interquartile range 6.1-7.6). Association of LRG1 with HF was studied using cause-specific Cox regression models. RESULTS In follow-up, 191 incident HF and 119 HHF events were identified. As compared with quartile 1, participants with LRG1 in quartiles 3 and 4 had 3.60-fold (95% CI 1.63-7.99) and 5.99-fold (95% CI 2.21-16.20) increased risk of incident HF and 5.88-fold (95% CI 1.83-18.85) and 10.44-fold (95% CI 2.37-45.98) increased risk of HHF, respectively, after adjustment for multiple known cardiorenal risk factors. As a continuous variable, 1 SD increment in natural log-transformed LRG1 was associated with 1.78-fold (95% CI 1.33-2.38) adjusted risk of incident HF and 1.92-fold (95% CI 1.27-2.92) adjusted risk of HHF. Adding LRG1 to the clinical variable-based model improved risk discrimination for incident HF (area under the curve [AUC] 0.79-0.81; P = 0.02) and HHF (AUC 0.81-0.84; P = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS Plasma LRG1 is associated with risks of incident HF and HHF, suggesting that it may potentially be involved in pathogenesis of HF in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Additional studies are warranted to determine whether LRG1 is a novel biomarker for HF risk stratification.

Effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors on cardiac structure and function in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with or without chronic heart failure: a meta-analysis. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2021; 20:25. [PMID: 33494751 PMCID: PMC7836497 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-020-01209-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2020] [Accepted: 12/27/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the benefits of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) on cardiovascular events have been reported in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with or without heart failure (HF), the impact of SGLT2i on cardiac remodelling remains to be established. METHODS We searched the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and Web of Science databases up to November 16th, 2020, for randomized controlled trials reporting the effects of SGLT2i on parameters of cardiac structure, cardiac function, plasma N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level or the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) score in T2DM patients with or without chronic HF. The effect size was expressed as the mean difference (MD) or standardized mean difference (SMD) and its 95% confidence interval (CI). Subgroup analyses were performed based on the stage A-B or stage C HF population and HF types. RESULTS Compared to placebo or other antidiabetic drugs, SGLT2i showed no significant effects on left ventricular mass index, left ventricular end diastolic volume index, left ventricular end systolic volume index, or left atrial volume index. SGLT2i improved left ventricular ejection fraction only in the subgroup of HF patients with reduced ejection fraction (MD 3.16%, 95% CI 0.11 to 6.22, p = 0.04; I2 = 0%), and did not affect the global longitudinal strain in the overall analysis including stage A-B HF patients. SGLT2i showed benefits in the E/e' ratio (MD - 0.45, 95% CI - 0.88 to - 0.03, p = 0.04; I2 = 0%), plasma NT-proBNP level (SMD - 0.09, 95% CI - 0.16 to - 0.03, p = 0.004; I2 = 0%), and the KCCQ score (SMD 3.12, 95% CI 0.76 to 5.47, p = 0.01; I2 = 0%) in the overall population. CONCLUSION The use of SGLT2i was associated with significant improvements in cardiac diastolic function, plasma NT-proBNP level, and the KCCQ score in T2DM patients with or without chronic HF, but did not significantly affect cardiac structural parameters indexed by body surface area. The LVEF level was improved only in HF patients with reduced ejection fraction.

Abstract
Both heart failure and diabetes are increasing in prevalence in Western communities. The interrelationship between these two conditions is well known, with conventional heart failure therapies including several newer drug classes providing benefit to subjects with diabetes. Furthermore, several of the more recently introduced medications for type 2 diabetes have resulted in significant cardiovascular morbidity and mortality benefits with a marked improvement in heart failure symptoms and hospital presentations as well as deaths. This review outlines current therapies used to treat patients with or at risk for heart failure and their particular role in subjects with diabetes. Newer therapies, including certain glucose-lowering medications and their benefits in treating heart failure patients with and without diabetes, are also discussed. Finally, heart failure is also observed in long-duration, aging patients with type 1 diabetes, but this clinical issue has not been as extensively explored as in patients with type 2 diabetes and warrants further clinical investigation.

Pre-existing type 2 diabetes is associated with increased all-cause death independently of echocardiographic predictors of poor prognosis only in ischemic heart disease. Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis 2020; 30:2036-2040.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS It is unknown whether the prognostic role of diabetes (T2DM) in outpatients with chronic heart failure (CHF) is independent of the most important echocardiographic markers of poor prognosis. The aims of this analysis were to evaluate whether T2DM modifies the risk of mortality in CHF patients stratified by etiology of disease or by right-ventricular to pulmonary arterial coupling at echocardiography and to evaluate how T2DM interacts with the prognostic role of cardiac plasma biomarkers. METHODS AND RESULTS This is a retrospective analysis of 1627 CHF outpatients who underwent a complete echocardiographic examination. During a median follow-up period of 63 months 255 patients died. Poor right-ventricular to pulmonary arterial coupling and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction were independent predictors of outcome, whereas ischemic etiology and T2DM were not. T2DM interacted with etiology increasing the risk of mortality by 32% among patients with ischemic disease (p = 0.003). Elevated hsTNI plasma levels were associated with poor survival in T2DM but not in non-diabetic patients. CONCLUSION T2DM signals a worse outcome in ischemic CHF patients regardless of the echocardiographic phenotype. High plasma levels of hsTNI are stronger predictors of mortality in CHF patients with T2DM than in patients without diabetes.

Abstract
CONTEXT Diabetes and heart failure (HF) are 2 deadly and strictly related epidemic disorders. The aim of this review is to present an updated discussion of the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation and treatment options for HF in diabetes. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION Relevant references published up to February 2020 were identified through searches in PubMed. Quality was graded using the Newcastle-Ottawa score in observational studies and the Cochrane Collaboration tool in randomized studies. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS Metabolic and neurohumoral derangements, oxidative stress, inflammation, micro- and macroangiopathy all contribute through complex molecular and cellular mechanisms to cardiac dysfunction in diabetes, which in turn, results as one the most frequent underlying conditions affecting up to 42% of patients with HF and causing a 34% increased risk of cardiovascular death. On top of traditional guideline-based HF medical and device therapies, equally effective in patients with and without diabetes, a new class of glucose-lowering agents acting through the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibition showed impressive results in reducing HF outcomes in individuals with diabetes and represents an active area of investigation. CONCLUSIONS Diabetes and HF are strictly linked in a bidirectional and deadly vicious circle difficult to break. Therefore, preventive strategies and a timely diagnosis are crucial to improve outcomes in such patients. SGLT2 inhibitors represent a major breakthrough with remarkably consistent findings. However, it is still not clear whether their benefits may be definitely extended to patients with HF with preserved ejection fraction, to those without diabetes and in the acute setting.

Abstract
The pathogenesis and clinical features of diabetic cardiomyopathy have been well-studied in the past decade, but effective approaches to prevent and treat this disease are limited. Diabetic cardiomyopathy occurs as a result of the dysregulated glucose and lipid metabolism associated with diabetes mellitus, which leads to increased oxidative stress and the activation of multiple inflammatory pathways that mediate cellular and extracellular injury, pathological cardiac remodelling, and diastolic and systolic dysfunction. Preclinical studies in animal models of diabetes have identified multiple intracellular pathways involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy and potential cardioprotective strategies to prevent and treat the disease, including antifibrotic agents, anti-inflammatory agents and antioxidants. Some of these interventions have been tested in clinical trials and have shown favourable initial results. In this Review, we discuss the mechanisms underlying the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy and heart failure in type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, and we summarize the evidence from preclinical and clinical studies that might provide guidance for the development of targeted strategies. We also highlight some of the novel pharmacological therapeutic strategies for the treatment and prevention of diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and occurs in ~25% of patients with heart failure (HF). Patients with co-morbid HF and T2DM are at elevated risk of adverse outcomes, making optimization of complementary drug therapies essential. While research is ongoing, recent advances in drug therapy, including the introduction of sacubitril/valsartan for HF with reduced ejection fraction and the finding of positive cardiovascular effects of glucose-lowering agents (particularly sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 [SGLT2] inhibitors) have the potential to transform pharmacologic management of co-morbid HF and T2DM. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of cardiovascular clinical trials of therapies for HF and diabetes mellitus to date and identify areas requiring further investigation. We also discuss the pathophysiologic overlap of the two diseases and explore the complementary therapeutic effects of HF and T2DM drugs, with a particular focus on sacubitril/valsartan and SGLT2 inhibitors.
