Aims. This study aimed to investigate whether the change of plasma myeloperoxidase (MPO) level would be associated with the incidence of coronary artery disease (CAD) among diabetic patients.Methods. 339 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) underwent coronary angiography. Of them, 204 cases had CAD and were assigned to CAD group and 135 cases without CAD were assigned to non-CAD group.Results. Compared to non-CAD group, CAD group had higher level of plasma MPO (p<0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that plasma MPO level was correlated with Gensini score. Multiple logistic analysis showed that the odds ratios for CAD across increasing tertiles of MPO level were 1.191 (0.971–1.547) and 1.488 (1.115–2.228) (p=0.048,p=0.009versus 1st tertile of MPO level, resp.) by adjusting for age, sex, and other conventional risk factors for CAD. The subjects were stratified into nine groups according to tertiles of MPO and HbA1c. The odds ratio for CAD was significantly higher in group with highest levels of MPO and HbA1c (OR = 4.08,p<0.01).Conclusion. Plasma MPO level was positively correlated with the degree of coronary artery stenosis in type 2 diabetic patients, and increasing blood glucose might amplify the association between MPO and CAD.

Background: Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in diabetics. However diabetic patients do not present with typical anginal symptoms or may be even asymptomatic and silent coronary artery disease (CAD) is prevalent in diabetics. Moreover silent CAD is not different from symptomatic CAD with respect to prognosis and adverse effects. Aim: The study was done to demonstrate the prevalence of silent myocardial ischemic changes in asymptomatic type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with normal resting ECG by doing a stress exercise test. Methodology: This descriptive study was done in 100 patients with type 2 diabetes more than 2 years who did not have any history of cardiovascular disease or symptoms. Detailed history was taken and investigations such as HbA1c, fasting and postprandial blood sugar, serum creatinine, urine examination were done. Resting ECG, Echocardiogram was found to be normal and they were subjected to a treadmill test. Results: Among the 100 participants 18 persons (18%) had positive ECG findings in treadmill test. A positive association was found between the duration of diabetes and prevalence of positive treadmill test. Conclusion: There is significant prevalence of silent CAD in diabetic patients and they tend to present with advanced disease at presentation and have poorer prognosis compared to non diabetic population. Hence it is necessary to screen early for silent CAD in diabetics to improve disease outcomes.

Adiponectin is an adipocytokine that has a higher serum level in healthy people. In type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, hypertension, MI, and dyslipidemia, the serum level of adiponectin is lower than 4 µg/mL. Adiponectin is proved to have a protective role against atherosclerotic changes where its low serum levels in type 2 diabetes can lead to the progression of atherosclerotic lesions. In this study, we aimed to survey the possible effects of adiponectin in the development of coronary artery disease in type 2 diabetics. Thirty diabetic cases with coronary artery disease, 30 diabetic cases without known coronary artery disease, and a group of 30 healthy volunteers, all of them were between 18-65-year-old, were entered ourstudy. We gathered demographic data by performing a physical examination followed by filling a checklist and a set of laboratory tests. All the groups were sex and age-matched (P=0.284 and P=0.163 respectively). CAD group had the lowest HBA1C (P<0.001). Both LDL and HDL were also lower in the CAD group (P<0.001). Adiponectin was also lower in the CAD group when compared to other groups (P<0.008) or when compared with only normal diabetics (P<0.002). We found a correlation between adiponectin and HDL (r=0.348, P=0.008), suggesting each unit of reduction in serum level of adiponectin could increase the chance of coronary artery disease by 38% in diabetics. In this study, we showed that the lower serum level of adiponectin is correlated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease in type 2 diabetics.

Although cardiologists have long treated patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and concomitant type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), T2DM has traditionally been considered just a comorbidity that affected the development and progression of the disease. Over the past decade, a number of factors have shifted that have forced the cardiology community to reconsider the role of T2DM in CAD. First, in addition to being associated with increased cardiovascular risk, T2DM has the potential to affect a number of treatment choices for CAD. In this document, we discuss the role that T2DM has in the selection of testing for CAD, in medical management (both secondary prevention strategies and treatment of stable angina), and in the selection of revascularization strategy. Second, although glycemic control has been recommended as a part of comprehensive risk factor management in patients with CAD, there is mounting evidence that the mechanism by which glucose is managed can have a substantial impact on cardiovascular outcomes. In this document, we discuss the role of glycemic management (both in intensity of control and choice of medications) in cardiovascular outcomes. It is becoming clear that the cardiologist needs both to consider T2DM in cardiovascular treatment decisions and potentially to help guide the selection of glucose-lowering medications. Our statement provides a comprehensive summary of effective, patient-centered management of CAD in patients with T2DM, with emphasis on the emerging evidence. Given the increasing prevalence of T2DM and the accumulating evidence of the need to consider T2DM in treatment decisions, this knowledge will become ever more important to optimize our patients’ cardiovascular outcomes.

Introduction: Over the last decade, the prevalence of Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) has been significantly increased among the young population. However, the appropriate age to institute statin therapy for treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD) among this population is yet to be defined. In this study, we sought to examine the prevalence, and severity of CAD among the young T2DM population. Methods: We enrolled asymptomatic patients within the age range of 25 to 40 who underwent cardiac computed tomography (cardiac CT). Patients with type 1 diabetes, with history of less than 5 years T2DM, or with a history of stent or bypass were excluded. On the day of cardiac CT, self-reported demographic data was collected. All contrast and non-contrast enhanced cardiac CTs were reviewed by two certified expert cardiologists. Results: Total of 233 cases with an average age of 35.9 were enrolled. In this population, 38.6% were female, 167 cases (71.7%) were non-diabetic, and 55 cases (25.3%) had abnormal CAC score. There was a very strong trend towards increased prevalence of abnormal CAC score between diabetic and non-diabetic groups (33.8% vs 21.7%, respectively; p=0.06). Based on the cardiac CT angiography, 56.9% of young T2DM patients had coronary atherosclerosis which was significantly greater in comparison to the non-diabetic group (56.9% vs. 35.8%, p=0.007). Regression analyses adjusted for age, gender, dyslipidemia, hypertension, smoking, and family history of premature CAD, showed significantly greater risk of having CAD in T2DM group (OR=3.28, 95% CI: 1.30, 8.29,p<0.05). Both the severity of stenosis and number of involved segments were also significantly greater among T2DM cases. There was no gender or race specific difference in the prevalence of CAD among diabetic patients. Average of CT angiographies’ radiation dose was 2.45 milliSieverts (range:0.8-10.2 mSv). Conclusions: In total, more than half of 25-40 years old patients with history for at least 5 years of T2DM had CAD. The difference between positive CAC and CAD by CTA angiography indicates a high prevalence of soft plaques. With mean doses of approximately 2 millisieverts, cardiac CT angiography needs to be considered as a screening method for young T2DM patients.

Currently, there is no convincing evidence of respiratory failure in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and coronary artery disease (CAD). Aim: To evaluate the differences in the main parameters of pulmonary function in patients with isolated type 2 diabetes and diabetic patients with CAD. Materials and methods: Patients with diabetes were allocated to two groups depending to the presence of CAD. The assessment of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, as well as the measurement of inflammatory markers were performed using standard methods of clinical and biochemical analysis. Respiratory function and diffusion capacity of the lungs (DLCO) were assessed using a body plethysmograph Elite Dl-220v. Results. Main pulmonary functional test parameters were within normal values, except residual volume in diabetic patients. Patients with concomitant CAD demonstrated lower values of the studied parameters compared to non-diabetic ones. A number of volume and flow rate parameters as well as DLCO correlated with systemic inflammation, decompensation of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, and duration of diabetes. Conclusion. Diabetic patients with CAD suffered from respiratory failure, manifested as decline in pulmonary function and DLCO. Blood glucose levels, inflammation symptoms, dyslipidemia and myocardial dysfunction are among suspected causes contributing to the development and acceleration of this decline.
