BACKGROUND: It is expected that a steady increase in the incidence of diabetes and resistant hypertension (RHTN), along with an increase in life expectancy, will lead to a noticeable increase in the proportion of patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). At the same time, data on the frequency of HFpEF in a selective group of patients with RHTN in combination with diabetes are still lacking, and the pathophysiological and molecular mechanisms of its formation have not been yet studied sufficiently.AIM: To assess the features of the development HFpEF in diabetic and non-diabetic patients with RHTN, as well as to determine the factors associated with HFpEF.MATERIALS AND METHODS: In the study were included 36 patients with RHTN and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) (mean age 61.4 ± 6.4 years, 14 men) and 33 patients with RHTN without diabetes, matched by sex, age and level of systolic blood pressure (BP). All patients underwent baseline office and 24-hour BP measurement, echocardiography with assess diastolic function, lab tests (basal glycemia, HbA1c, creatinine, aldosterone, TNF-alpha, hsCRP, brain naturetic peptide, metalloproteinases of types 2, 9 (MMP-2, MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of MMP type 1 (TIMP-1)). HFpEF was diagnosed according to the 2019 AHA/ESC guidelines.RESULTS: The frequency of HFpEF was significantly higher in patients with RHTN with DM than those without DM (89% and 70%, respectively, p=0.045). This difference was due to a higher frequency of such major functional criterion of HFpEF as E/e’≥15 (p=0.042), as well as a tendency towards a higher frequency of an increase in left atrial volumes (p=0.081) and an increase in BNP (p=0.110). Despite the comparable frequency of diastolic dysfunction in patients with and without diabetes (100% and 97%, respectively), disturbance of the transmitral blood flow in patients with DM were more pronounced than in those without diabetes. Deterioration of transmitral blood flow and pseudo-normalization of diastolic function in diabetic patients with RHTN have relationship not only with signs of carbohydrate metabolism disturbance, but also with level of pulse blood pressure, TNF-alfa, TIMP-1 and TIMP-1 / MMP-2 ratio, which, along with the incidence of atherosclerosis, were higher in patients with DM than in those without diabetes.CONCLUSIONS: Thus, HFpEF occurs in the majority of diabetic patients with RHTN. The frequency of HFpEF in patients with DN is significantly higher than in patients without it, which is associated with more pronounced impairments of diastolic function. The progressive development of diastolic dysfunction in patients with diabetes mellitus is associated not only with metabolic disorders, but also with increased activity of chronic subclinical inflammation, profibrotic state and high severity of vascular changes.

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM), present in about a quarter of heart failure (HF) patients with reduced ejection fraction (HF-REF), is associated with increased risk of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular (CV) events. Less is known about the prevalence and impact of DM in HF patients with preserved ejection fraction (HF-PEF). The prevalence and effect of DM on clinical outcomes were examined in patients enrolled in the Irbesartan in Heart Failure with Preserved Systolic Function Trial (I-PRESERVE). Methods: The I-PRESERVE trial randomized 4128 HF-PEF patients (EF≥45%) to receive irbesartan or placebo. The primary outcome of time to all-cause mortality or CV hospitalization (myocardial infarction [MI], stroke, worsening HF, atrial or ventricular arrhythmia or unstable angina) was compared between patients with and without DM over one year of follow-up. A combined HF endpoint (HF mortality and hospitalization) was also evaluated. Comparison of the outcomes between patients with and without DM was expressed as a hazard ratio (HR). The independent predictive role of DM was examined in a multivariable model (which included symptoms, signs, clinical history, CV examination, biochemical, and hematological findings). Results: In I-PRESERVE 27% had a history of DM at baseline. DM patients more often had a body mass index ≥30 (51% vs 38%), history of stroke (12% vs 9%), history of MI (28% vs 22%), estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 ml/min/1.73m 2 (34% vs 29%), and pulmonary congestion on chest x-ray (46% vs 38%). In patients with DM, 17% and 11% had primary and HF events, respectively within 1 year; for patients without DM, 11% and 6% had primary and HF events. In a multivariate analysis DM remained a significant predictor of primary events (HR 1.48; 95% CI 1.22, 1.79) or HF events (HR 1.67; 95% CI 1.32, 2.12). Conclusions: The prevalence of DM in HF-PEF is similar to that reported in HF-REF. HF-PEF patients with DM have a significantly worse outcome than those without DM and this increased risk is independent of other factors associated with a worse prognosis.

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD), particularly in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, there are no known biomarkers in the population with DM and HFpEF to predict SCD risk.Objectives: This study was designed to test the hypothesis that osteopontin (OPN) and some proteins previously correlated with OPN, low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), dynamin 2 (DNM2), fibronectin-1 (FN1), and 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase-like (OGDHL), are potential risk markers for SCD, and may reflect modifiable molecular pathways in patients with DM and HFpEF.Methods: Heart tissues were obtained at autopsy from 9 SCD victims with DM and HFpEF and 10 age and gender-matched accidental death control subjects from a Finnish SCD registry and analyzed for the expression of OPN and correlated proteins, including LDLR, DNM2, FN1, and OGDHL by immunohistochemistry.Results: We observed a significant upregulation in the expression of OPN, LDLR, and FN1, and a marked downregulation of DNM2 in heart tissues of SCD victims with DM and HFpEF as compared to control subjects (p &lt; 0.01).Conclusions: The dysregulated protein expression of OPN, LDLR, FN1, and DNM2 in patients with DM and HFpEF who experienced SCD provides novel potential modifiable molecular pathways that may be implicated in the pathogenesis of SCD in these patients. Since secreted OPN and soluble LDLR can be measured in plasma, these results support the value of further prospective studies to assess the predictive value of these plasma biomarkers and to determine whether tuning expression levels of OPN and LDLR alters SCD risk in patients with DM and HFpEF.
