The aim – to compare clinical and instrumental parameters and cumulative survival of women and men with chronic heart failure (CHF) and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LV EF), depending on the presence of type II diabetes mellitus.Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of 490 case histories of patients observed in the heart failure department in the period from 2011 to 2018, with CHF, II–IV NYHA functional class, LVEF ≤ 40 %, 40–80 years of age (median (quartiles)) – 64 (56.00; 69.00) years). The study group included mainly patients with coronary heart disease in combination with hypertension – 403 (82.2 %) patients, with isolated coronary heart disease – 55 (11.2 %) and with isolated hypertension – 32 (6.6 %). Most patients (278 (56.7 %)) had a permanent form of atrial fibrillation. Among the subjects were 373 (76.1 %) men and 117 (23.9 %) women. Comparisons were performed in populations of men and women depending on the presence of type 2 diabetes. Patients were included in the study in the phase of clinical compensation, in the euvolemic state.Results and discussion. The analysis revealed that the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus in the population of men with CHF and reduced LV EF is significantly lower than in the female population. There were no significant differences between the study groups by etiology, the NYHA class, as well as the structure of comorbid conditions. Also there were no significant differences in age, mean daily heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Despite expectations, insulin levels in both male and female cohorts did not differ significantly in patients with and without concomitant diabetes. In the cohort of men with CHF and reduced LV EF with concomitant diabetes the body mass index, anteroposterior left atrial size, GFR values were significantly higher, whereas the level of circulating citrulline and urea nitrogen were significantly lower compared to women. Women with CHF with reduced LV EF and concomitant diabetes compared to women without diabetes had lower LV EF and left atrial size, higher circulating citrulline levels, and E/е´ ratios. Analysis of the kidneys functional state showed deterioration of nitrogen excretory function in all study groups in the presence of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The five-year survival of men with CHF and reduced LV EF did not differ depending on the presence of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Instead, when analyzing the effect of type 2 diabetes mellitus on life expectancy in women with CHF and reduced LV EF, we observed a significantly worse prognosis.Conclusions. Woman with CHF and reduced LV EF with concomitant type 2 diabetes mellitus is characterized by a worse clinical course of the disease, which is combined with signs of more pronounced damage to target organs (heart, kidneys). At the same time, in women with diabetes, compared with men, the nitrogen-excreting renal function is significantly lower. Cumulative 5-year survival in the male cohort depending on presence of diabetes did not differ, while women with diabetes were characterized by significantly lower 5-year survival compared to women without diabetes.

Abstract Background Recent randomized, placebo-controlled trial in patients with type 2 diabetes demonstrated that the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors reduced mortality, cardiovascular events and hospitalization for heart failure. However, those trials were not specialized design to investigate the effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors in patients with heart failure, in particular with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate the drug efficacy of luseogliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor, compared with voglibose, an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, using brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) in type 2 diabetes patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Methods This study was a prospective, multicenter, open-label, randomized-controlled trial, comparing luseogliflozin 2.5 mg once daily or voglibose 0.2 mg three times daily in patients with type 2 diabetes suffering from heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (left ventricular ejection fraction >45% and BNP ≥35 pg/ml2) in a 1:1 randomization fashion. Randomization was undertaken using a computer-generated random sequence web response system. The primary outcome was the difference from baseline in BNP after 12 weeks of treatment between two drugs. The key secondary outcomes were the change from baseline in left ventricular ejection fraction and E/e' in echocardiographic parameters, body weight, glycohemoglobin level after 12 weeks of treatment. The safety outcomes included the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events, hypoglycemic adverse events, and urinary tract infection. Results Between December 2015 and September 2018, 173 patients from 16 hospitals and clinics have been included in this study. Of those, 83 patients were assigned to receive luseogliflozin and 82 to receive voglibose. There was no significant difference in the reduction in the BNP concentration after 12 weeks from baseline between the two groups; the ratio of the average values at week 12 to the baseline value was 0.91 in the luseoglifllzin group as compared with 0.98 in the voglibose group (percent change, −9.0% vs. −1.9%, ratio of change with luseogliflozin vs. voglibose, 0.93; 95% confidence interval, 0.78 to 1.10; p=0.26). The key secondary outcomes including left ventricular ejection fraction, E/e', body weight, glycohemoglobin level and the safety outcomes did not differ significantly between the two groups. Conclusions In type 2 diabetes patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, the administration of luseogliflozin did not lead to a significant reduction in the BNP concentration than that of voglibose. Left ventricular ejection fraction, E/e', body weight and glycohemoglobin level after 12 weeks of treatment, comparing with at baseline did not differ significantly between the two groups.

The present study was focused on the assessment of electrophysiological, structural, and functional characteristics of the heart associated with ventricular rhythm disturbances in the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) suffering from diastolic cardiac insufficiency. The study involved a total of 128 patients with DM2 and coronary heart disease (CHD) exhibiting signs of functional class I-III chronic cardiac insufficiency and left ventricular ejection fraction over 50%. The patients were divided into three groups. Group 1 (n=55) included patients presenting with left ventricular relaxation. Group 2 (n=44) was comprised of the patients with the pseudo-normal type of diastolic dysfunction. Group 3 (n=29) consisted of the patients with restrictive diastolic dysfunction. The patients of the latter group were characterized by the high frequency of complicated forms of ventricular arrhythmia, such as Grade IV-V ventricular extrasystole (48.3%) and Grade III ventricular extrasystole (34.5%). Restrictive type of diastolic dysfunction was associated with the delayed fragmented activity in the end part of the ventricular complex in 72.4% of the patients. The close correlation between the left ventricular diastolic function and parameters of myocardial electrical remodeling was documented.

Objective: To study the characteristics and prognostic implications of type 2 diabetes in different heart failure entities from a nationwide perspective. Methods: This observational study comprised 30,696 heart failure patients prospectively included in the Swedish Heart Failure Registry (SwedeHF) 2003–2011 from specialist care, with mortality information available until December 2014. Patients were categorized into three heart failure entities by their left ventricular ejection fraction (heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: ⩾50%, heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction: 40%–49% and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction: <40%). All-cause mortality stratified by type 2 diabetes and heart failure entity was studied by Cox regression. Results: Among the patients, 22% had heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, 21% had heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction and 57% had heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. The proportion of type 2 diabetes was similar, ≈25% in each heart failure entity. Patients with type 2 diabetes and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction were older, more often female and burdened with hypertension and renal impairment compared with heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction patients among whom ischaemic heart disease was more common. Type 2 diabetes remained an independent mortality predictor across all heart failure entities after multivariable adjustment, somewhat stronger in heart failure with left ventricular ejection fraction below 50% (hazard ratio, 95% confidence interval; heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: 1.32 [1.22–1.43], heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction: 1.51 [1.39–1.65], heart failure with reduced ejection fraction: 1.46 [1.39–1.54]; p-value for interaction, p = 0.0049). Conclusion: Type 2 diabetes is an independent mortality predictor across all heart failure entities increasing mortality risk by 30%–50%. In type 2 diabetes, the heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction entity resembles heart failure with reduced ejection fraction in clinical characteristics, risk factor pattern and prognosis.

Background: Individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus are at increased risk for heart failure (HF), particularly those with coexisting atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and/or kidney disease. Some but not all dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors have been associated with increased HF risk. We performed secondary analyses of HF and related outcomes with the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor linagliptin versus placebo in CARMELINA (The Cardiovascular and Renal Microvascular Outcome Study With Linagliptin), a cardiovascular outcomes trial that enrolled participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and/or kidney disease. Methods: Participants in 27 countries with type 2 diabetes mellitus and concomitant atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and/or kidney disease were randomized 1:1 to receive once daily oral linagliptin 5 mg or placebo, on top of standard of care. All hospitalization for HF (hHF), cardiovascular outcomes, and deaths were prospectively captured and centrally adjudicated. In prespecified and post hoc analyses of HF and related events, Cox proportional hazards models adjusting for region and baseline history of HF were used. Recurrent hHF events were analyzed using a negative binomial model. In a subset of participants with left ventricular ejection fraction captured within the year before randomization, HF-related outcomes were assessed in subgroups stratified by left ventricular ejection fraction > or ≤50%. Results: CARMELINA enrolled 6979 participants (mean age, 65.9 years; estimated glomerular filtration rate, mL/min per 1.73m 2 ; hemoglobin A1c, 8.0%; 62.9% men; diabetes mellitus duration, 14.8 years), including 1873 (26.8%) with a history of HF at baseline. Median follow-up was 2.2 years. Linagliptin versus placebo did not affect the incidence of hHF (209/3494 [6.0%] versus 226/3485 [6.5%], respectively; hazard ratio [HR], 0.90; 95% CI, 0.74–1.08), the composite of cardiovascular death/hHF (HR, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.82–1.08), or risk for recurrent hHF events (326 versus 359 events, respectively; rate ratio, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.75–1.20). There was no heterogeneity of linagliptin effects on hHF by history of HF at baseline, baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate or urine albumin-creatinine ratio, or prerandomization left ventricular ejection fraction. Conclusions: In a large, international cardiovascular outcome trial in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus and concomitant atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and/or kidney disease, linagliptin did not affect the risk of hHF or other selected HF-related outcomes, including among participants with and without a history of HF, across the spectrum of kidney disease, and independent of previous left ventricular ejection fraction.

Abstract BackgroundThe clinical predictors and prognosis of heart failure (HF) by categories of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) have not been well studied in people with diabetes. In a retrospective cohort of Chinese with type 2 diabetes, we examined 1) clinical factors associated with incident decompensated HF, and 2) mortality post-HF, stratified by LVEF.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of the Hong Kong Diabetes Register comprising 23,348 people with type 2 diabetes without history of HF enrolled between 1993–2015, followed for incident decompensated HF until 2017. Heart failure subtypes were defined according to LVEF on echocardiography. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were used to identify clinical factors associated with incident HF versus no HF, stratified by HF subtypes. All-cause mortality rates were compared by HF subtypes.ResultsOver median follow-up of 7.1 years from enrolment, 1,195 (5.1%) people developed decompensated HF. Among 611 (51.1%) people with echocardiography, 24.1% had HF with reduced LVEF (HFrEF) (LVEF < 40%), 15.2% had HF with mid-range LVEF (HFmrEF) (LVEF 41–49%), and 60.7% had HF with preserved LVEF (HFpEF) (LVEF ≥ 50%). Old age, low GFR, albuminuria and coronary artery disease were associated with increased hazards for all HF subtypes. During median follow-up of 2.1 years post-HF, 760 (63.6%) people died. One-year mortality rate was lower in people with HFpEF (16.2%) than those with HFmrEF (vs 26.9%,p = 0.034) and HFrEF (vs 31.3%,p < 0.001). At 10 years, mortality rates in HFpEF group (58.0%) remained lower than HFmrEF group (vs 71.0%,p = 0.38), but similar to HFrEF group (vs 55.8%,p = 0.651).ConclusionsIn Chinese with type 2 diabetes, HFpEF was the predominant HF subtype. One-year mortality following decompensated HF was lowest in HFpEF group but 10-year mortality was similar between HFpEF and HFrEF.
