Abstract Background: In population studies of heart failure (HF), diabetes has been shown to be an independent risk factor. However, the evidence evaluating diabetes mellitus (DM) as an independent risk factor in incident HF in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) is scarce. Our study aimed to assess the incidence of HF in diabetic IHD patients compared to non-diabetic IHD patients in Ethiopia.Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted among 306 patients with IHD followed-up at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The IHD patients who did not have HF at baseline were followed for 24 months beginning from November 30, 2015. We assessed the incidence of HF in patients with diabetic IHD versus the non-diabetic IHD. Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess the association between diabetic IHD and HF after controlling for important covariates. Hypertension was examined as a possible effect modifier as well.Results: The mean age was 56.8 years, 69% were male, and 31% were diabetic. During the 24 months follow-up period, 196 (64.1%) had incident HF. On multivariate Cox regression, DM was significantly associated with incident HF [Hazard Ratio = 2.04, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.32-3.14, p = 0.001]. Furthermore, when the patients were stratified by hypertension (HTN), DM was associated with worse prognosis, the strongest association being in those with co-existing DM and HTN [HR = 2.57,95% CI =1.66-3.98, p<0.0001] followed by the presence of DM without HTN [HR 2.27, 95% CI = 1.38-3.71, p=0.001] (compared to those with neither). Conclusion: DM is the strongest predictor of incident HF, compared to other traditional risk factors, in Ethiopian patients with IHD. Those with both DM and HTN are at the highest risk.

Background: Psoriasis is known to be associated with metabolic syndrome, a well-established risk factor for ischemic heart disease and stroke. Emerging evidence indicates that psoriasis is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease and stroke. Objective: To evaluate whether psoriasis is independently associated with myocardial infarction (MI), ischemic heart disease (MI, angina pectoris, or coronary heart disease), and stroke, we conducted a cross-sectional study using the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database. Methods: Data on clinical history of psoriasis, MI, angina pectoris, coronary heart disease, and stroke from the questionnaire as well as laboratory parameters on serum lipid and uric acid levels in the cycle years 2003-2006 and 2009-2012 were analyzed. Multivariate analysis with logistic regression modelling was performed with the aforementioned cardiovascular events or stroke as the dependent variables and with risk factors such as age, gender, ethnic group, current smoking status, alcohol consumption, metabolic syndrome, hyperuricemia, and psoriasis as independent variables. Results: There were 520 cases of psoriasis, and 108 of them had metabolic syndrome (20.8%). Well-established cardiovascular risk factors such as age, gender, ethnic group, smoking, alcohol consumption, metabolic syndrome, and hyperuricemia were also found to have significant associations with MI and ischemic heart disease (all P values <.001). Psoriatic patients were at significantly higher risks of developing MI (odds ratio [OR] 2.24; 95% CI: 1.27-3.95; P = .005) and ischemic heart disease (OR 1.90; 95% CI: 1.18-3.05; P = .008), but not stroke (OR 1.01; 95% CI: 0.48-2.16; P = .744), after adjustment was made for major cardiovascular risk factors. Conclusion: This study provides epidemiological evidence that psoriasis may be independently associated with the development of MI and ischemic heart disease. Physicians should be cognizant of any underlying cardiovascular risk factors, especially among psoriatic patients with metabolic syndrome, and manage them according to national guidelines.

Abstract Background Adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) for breast cancer (BC) has been associated with an increased risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD). We examined the incidence of IHD in a large population-based cohort of women with BC. Methods The Breast Cancer DataBase Sweden (BCBaSe) includes all women diagnosed with BC from 1992 to 2012 (n = 60,217) and age-matched women without a history of BC (n = 300,791) in three Swedish health care regions. Information on comorbidity, educational level, and incidence of IHD was obtained through linkage with population-based registries. The risk of IHD was estimated by Cox proportional hazard regression analyses and cumulative incidence by the Kaplan-Meier method. Results Women with BC had a lower risk of IHD compared to women without BC with a hazard ratio (HR) of 0.91 (95% CI 0.88–0.95). When women with left-sided BC were compared to right-sided BC, an increased HR for IHD of 1.09 (95% CI 1.01–1.17) was seen. In women receiving RT, a HR of 1.18 (95% CI 1.06–1.31) was seen in left-sided compared to right-sided BC, and the HRs increased with more extensive lymph node involvement and with the addition of systemic therapy. The cumulative IHD incidence was increased in women receiving left-sided RT compared to right-sided RT, starting from the first years after RT and sustained with longer follow-up. Conclusions Women given RT for left-sided BC during 1992 to 2012 had an increased risk of IHD compared to women treated for right-sided BC. These women were treated in the era of three-dimensional conformal RT (3DCRT), and the results emphasize the importance of further developing and implementing RT techniques that lower the cardiac doses, without compromising the beneficial effects of RT.
