The objective of the study was to evaluate the risk of diabetes mellitus in elderlywith age above 20 years in a hospital setting using Indian Diabetes risk score and to provide patient counselling regarding their life style modifications and health related quality of life among participants with high risk of developing diabetes.A total of 125 non diabetic patients were interviewed with a pre designed selfstructured questionnaire (IDRS). Participants were chosen voluntarily and a written consent was obtained before the administration of the questionnaire from individual patients. In our study we observed that out of 125 patients,males 26[59%]and 18[41%] females were at high risk, males 39[58.2%] and 28[41.8%] females were at moderate risk, males 5[35.7%] and 9[64.3%] females were at low risk of developing diabetes mellitus.

Background: The current cardiovascular disease (CVD) primary prevention guidelines prioritize risk stratification by using clinical risk scores. However, subclinical atherosclerosis may rest long term undetected. This study aimed to evaluate multiple subclinical atherosclerosis parameters in relation to several CV risk scores in asymptomatic individuals. Methods: A cross-sectional, single-center study included 120 asymptomatic CVD subjects. Four CVD risk scores were computed: SCORE, Framingham, QRISK, and PROCAM. Subclinical atherosclerosis has been determined by carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), pulse wave velocity (PWV), aortic and brachial augmentation indexes (AIXAo, respectively AIXbr), aortic systolic blood pressure (SBPao), and ankle-brachial index (ABI). Results: The mean age was 52.01 ± 10.73 years. For cIMT—SCORE was more sensitive; for PWV—Framingham score was more sensitive; for AIXbr—QRISK and PROCAM were more sensitive while for AIXao—QRISK presented better results. As for SBPao—SCORE presented more sensitive results. However, ABI did not correlate with any CVD risk score. Conclusions: All four CV risk scores are associated with markers of subclinical atherosclerosis in asymptomatic population, except for ABI, with specific particularities for each CVD risk score. Moreover, we propose specific cut-off values of CV risk scores that may indicate the need for subclinical atherosclerosis assessment.

Background:Cardiovascular (CV) diseases, namely myocardial infarction and stroke, are not among the most known and frequent complications of systemic sclerosis (SSc), but there is growing evidence that SSc patients have a higher prevalence of CV diseases than the general population [1].Objectives:To compare two algorithms for CV risk estimation in a cohort of patients with SSc, finding any correlation with clinical characteristics of the disease.Methods:SSc patients without previous myocardial infarction or stroke were enrolled. Traditional CV risk factors, SSc-specific characteristics and ongoing therapies were assessed. Framingham and QRISK3 algorithms were then used to estimate the risk of develop a CV disease over the next 10 years.Results:Fifty-six SSc patients were enrolled. Framingham reported a median risk score of 9.6% (IQR 8.5), classifying 24 (42.9%) subjects at high risk, with a two-fold increase of the mean relative risk in comparison to general population. QRISK3 showed a median risk score of 15.8% (IQR 19.4), with 36 (64.3%) patients considered at high-risk. Both algorithms revealed a significant role of some traditional risk factors and a noteworthy potential protective role of endothelin receptor antagonists (p=0.003). QRISK3 was also significantly influenced by some SSc-specific characteristics, as limited cutaneous subset (p=0.01), interstitial lung disease (p=0.04) and non-ischemic heart involvement (p=0.03), with the first two that maintain statistically significance in the multivariate analysis (p=0.02 for both).Conclusion:QRISK3 classifies more SSc patients at high-risk to develop CV diseases than Framingham, and it seems to be influenced by some SSc-specific characteristics. If its predictive accuracy were prospectively verified, the use of QRISK3 as a tool in the early detection of SSc patients at high CV risk should be recommended.References:[1]Ngian GS, Sahhar J, Proudman SM, Stevens W, Wicks IP, Van Doornum S.

Subclinical Vascular Disease

Background: In cross sectional studies, erectile dysfunction (ED) and overt clinical cardiovascular disease commonly coexist. However, the temporal relationship between subclinical vascular disease and subsequent identification of ED remains unclear. Methods: After excluding participants taking ED medications at baseline, we studied 1,862 asymptomatic men from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) with complete baseline multi-modality subclinical disease phenotyping who underwent ED assessment at MESA visit 5 (9.4 years after baseline). ED was defined by self-report per the single question self-assessment in the Massachusetts Male Aging Study. Using multivariable logistic regression (see figure legend for adjustments), we assessed the relationship between three different categories of baseline subclinical vascular disease with subsequent self-identification of ED. Subclinical vascular disease measures tested were: atherosclerosis: coronary artery calcium [CAC], carotid intima-media thickness [CIMT]; vascular stiffness: aortic distensibility, distensibility coefficient; vascular dysfunction: ankle-brachial index [ABI], flow-mediated dilation [FMD]. Results: A total of 839 men (45%) self-reported ED 9.4 ± 0.5 years after baseline. The mean age for the study population was 63.9 ± 8.9. There was a graded association between number and severity of subclinical disease abnormalities and ED. Measures of atherosclerosis were most closely associated with ED (see figure). Of the specific subclinical disease measurements, only presence of CAC and CAC>100 retained significance in a fully adjusted model (OR 1.5, 1.2 - 1.9; OR 1.4, 1.1 - 1.9). Conclusions: Multiple vascular disease abnormalities tend to cluster in men who later self-report ED. Of the tested subclinical vascular disease domains, markers of subclinical atherosclerosis, in particular CAC, are most closely associated with subsequent ED nearly 10 years after baseline.
