Background Patients with diabetes have an increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). In patients with myocardial infarction (MI), diabetes is associated with a poor outcome. Inflammation and neurohormonal activation have previously been shown to be associated with poor outcomes in patients with ST-elevation MI (STEMI). We therefore sought to assess whether STEMI-patients with diabetes (DM) had increased levels of inflammation and neurohormonal activation upon hospital admission. Methods In 1892 consecutive STEMI-patients from two danish tertiary heart centres, biomarkers reflecting neurohormonal activation (pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (proANP) and mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin (MRproADM)) and inflammation (soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (sST2) and C-reactive peptide (CRP)) were measured upon admission before angiography. Patients were stratified according to DM or not. Results In total, 245 (13%) patients had DM. DM patients were older (mean (SD) 66 (11) vs 63 (13) years old, p = 0.0002), had more comorbidities (hypertension, previous stroke/TIA, ischemic heart disease (IHD), chronic kidney dysfunction (CKD)), and higher body mass index (BMI). In addition, DM patients had a longer time from symptom debut to angiography and more often multivessel disease (MVD). We found no difference in admission troponin plasma concentrations. Upon hospital admission, DM patients had higher concentrations of MRproADM (median (IQR) 0.88 (0.64-1.20) vs. 0.71 (0.58-0.90) nmol/L, p < 0.0001), sST2 (41 (64-31) vs. 39 (55-28) ng/ml, p = 0.01), and CRP (4.5 (1.9-12.1) vs. 3.4 (1.4-8.3) mg/L, p = 0.001) but not proANP (figure). When adjusted for age, BMI, CKD, IHD, time from symptom debut to angiography, and MVD, DM remained associated with increased MRproADM (OR (95% CI) 1.35 (1.05; 1.74), p = 0.02) and sST2 (1.20 (1.02; 1.41), p = 0.03), but no longer with CRP. Patients with DM had a higher one-year all-cause mortality rate (12% vs. 9.4%, p = 0.03). Conclusion STEMI patients with diabetes have increased neurohormonal activation and inflammation at hospital admission compared to patients without diabetes. This may play a role in the increased mortality in STEMI patients with diabetes. Abstract Figure.

Abstract Background Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) are at increased risk of developing heart failure (HF). The “Heart OMics in AGEing” (HOMAGE) trial suggested that spironolactone had beneficial effect on fibrosis and cardiac remodelling in an at risk population, potentially slowing the progression towards HF. We compared the proteomic profile of patients with and without diabetes among patients at risk for HF in the HOMAGE trial. Methods Protein biomarkers (n = 276) from the Olink®Proseek-Multiplex cardiovascular and inflammation panels were measured in plasma collected at baseline and 9 months (or last visit) from HOMAGE trial participants including 217 patients with, and 310 without, diabetes. Results Twenty-one biomarkers were increased and five decreased in patients with diabetes compared to non-diabetics at baseline. The markers clustered mainly within inflammatory and proteolytic pathways, with granulin as the key-hub, as revealed by knowledge-induced network and subsequent gene enrichment analysis. Treatment with spironolactone in diabetic patients did not lead to large changes in biomarkers. The effects of spironolactone on NTproBNP, fibrosis biomarkers and echocardiographic measures of diastolic function were similar in patients with and without diabetes (all interaction analyses p > 0.05). Conclusions Amongst patients at risk for HF, those with diabetes have higher plasma concentrations of proteins involved in inflammation and proteolysis. Diabetes does not influence the effects of spironolactone on the proteomic profile, and spironolactone produced anti-fibrotic, anti-remodelling, blood pressure and natriuretic peptide lowering effects regardless of diabetes status.  Trial registration NCT02556450.

Abstract Introduction Endothelial C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) contributes to the local regulation of vascular homeostasis including a vasodilatory function in the microcirculation when studied in animal models. Clinical investigations have shown that high concentrations of C-type natriuretic peptides in plasma are associated with adverse clinical outcome in subgroups of patients with cardiac disease. Purpose To determine the prognostic potential of pro-C-type natriuretic peptide (proCNP) measurement in plasma sampled on admission of patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods In 1760 patients (470 women, 1290 men) with confirmed STEMI, we measured proCNP concentration in plasma obtained on hospital admission before coronary angiography. We divided patients into groups of low, normal or raised proCNP concentrations based on lower and upper cut-off values of sex- and age-specific 95% reference intervals from a reference population (688 individuals). We estimated differences in baseline characteristics including medical history and determined the prognostic value of proCNP measurement by Kaplan-Meier plots including log-rank tests and Cox regression survival analyses (expressed as hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval). Results Raised proCNP concentrations in plasma were associated with a higher prevalence of hypertension (P<0.001), diabetes mellitus (P=0.009), and peripheral artery disease (P=0.023), and a higher one-year all-cause mortality rate compared with normal proCNP concentrations (Plog-rank = 0.009, HR: 1.6 (1.1–2.4)). However, when adjusted for sex, an interaction between sex and groups of normal vs. raised proCNP was found (P=0.030). In sex-stratified analyses only women with raised proCNP concentrations showed an increased one-year all-cause mortality rate (women: Plog-rank <0.001, HR: 2.6 (1.5–4.6), men: Plog-rank= 0.66, HR: 1.1 (0.6–1.9)). Furthermore, in women, stepwise increases of proCNP concentration in the upper range (proCNP concentration > median) were independently associated with increased risk of death within one year after adjusting for age, plasma concentrations of creatinine and proANP, and quartiles of plasma troponins (HR: 1.02 (1.00–1.05) per 1 pmol/L increase of proCNP, P=0.047). One-year all-cause mortality rates Conclusion In patients with STEMI, a raised concentration of proCNP from plasma sampled on admission was associated with a higher risk of death within one year. However, only women displayed this difference of mortality rate in sex-specific estimates. Moreover, stepwise increases of proCNP concentration in the upper range independently predicted a higher risk of one-year death in women following STEMI after adjusting for potential confounders.

Background: Cardiogenic shock complicating ST-elevation myocardial infarction is characterised by progressive left ventricular dysfunction causing inflammation and neurohormonal activation. Often, cardiogenic shock develops after hospital admission. Whether inflammation and a neurohormonal activation precede development of clinical cardiogenic shock is unknown. Methods and results: In 93% of 2247 consecutive patients with suspected ST-elevation myocardial infarction admitted at two tertiary heart centres, admission plasma levels of pro-atrial natriuretic peptide, copeptin, mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin and stimulation-2 were measured on hospital admission. Patients were stratified according to no cardiogenic shock development and cardiogenic shock developed before (early cardiogenic shock) or after (late cardiogenic shock) leaving the catheterization laboratory. In total, 225 (10%) patients developed cardiogenic shock, amongst these patients late cardiogenic shock occurred in 64 (2.9%). All four biomarkers were independently associated with the development of late cardiogenic shock (odds ratio per two-fold increase in risk: 1.19–3.13) even when adjusted for the recently developed Observatoire Régional Breton sur l’Infarctus risk score for prediction of late cardiogenic shock development. Furthermore, pro-atrial natriuretic peptide, copeptin and mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin, but not stimulation-2, added significant predictive information, when added to the Observatoire Régional Breton sur l’Infarctus risk score (area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve, pro-atrial natriuretic peptide: 0.87, p=0.0008; copeptin: 0.86, p<0.05; mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin: 0.88, p=0.006). Conclusions: Pro-atrial natriuretic peptide, copeptin, mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin and stimulation-2 admission plasma concentration were associated with late cardiogenic shock development in patients admitted with suspected ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Pro-atrial natriuretic peptide, mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin and copeptin had independent predictive value for late cardiogenic shock development.

Vascular calcification contributes to the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease while matrix Gla protein (MGP) was recently identified as a potent inhibitor of vascular calcification. MGP fractions, such as dephosphorylated-uncarboxylated MGP (dp-ucMGP), lack post-translational modifications and are less efficient in vascular calcification inhibition. We sought to compare dp-ucMGP levels between patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), stratified by ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) status. Physical examination and clinical data, along with plasma dp-ucMGP levels, were obtained from 90 consecutive ACS patients. We observed that levels of dp-ucMGP were significantly higher in patients with NSTEMI compared to STEMI patients (1063.4 ± 518.6 vs. 742.7 ± 166.6 pmol/L, p < 0.001). NSTEMI status and positive family history of cardiovascular diseases were only independent predictors of the highest tertile of dp-ucMGP levels. Among those with NSTEMI, patients at a high risk of in-hospital mortality (adjudicated by GRACE score) had significantly higher levels of dp-ucMGP compared to non-high-risk patients (1417.8 ± 956.8 vs. 984.6 ± 335.0 pmol/L, p = 0.030). Altogether, our findings suggest that higher dp-ucMGP levels likely reflect higher calcification burden in ACS patients and might aid in the identification of NSTEMI patients at increased risk of in-hospital mortality. Furthermore, observed dp-ucMGP levels might reflect differences in atherosclerotic plaque pathobiology between patients with STEMI and NSTEMI.

Abstract Background Adults who have experienced multiple cardiovascular disease (CVD) events have a very high risk for additional events. Diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are each associated with an increased risk for recurrent CVD events following a myocardial infarction (MI). Methods We compared the risk for recurrent CVD events among US adults with health insurance who were hospitalized for an MI between 2014 and 2017 and had (1) CVD prior to their MI but were free from diabetes or CKD (prior CVD), and those without CVD prior to their MI who had (2) diabetes only, (3) CKD only and (4) both diabetes and CKD. We followed patients from hospital discharge through December 31, 2018 for recurrent CVD events including coronary, stroke, and peripheral artery events. Results Among 162,730 patients, 55.2% had prior CVD, and 28.3%, 8.3%, and 8.2% had diabetes only, CKD only, and both diabetes and CKD, respectively. The rate for recurrent CVD events per 1000 person-years was 135 among patients with prior CVD and 110, 124 and 171 among those with diabetes only, CKD only and both diabetes and CKD, respectively. Compared to patients with prior CVD, the multivariable-adjusted hazard ratio for recurrent CVD events was 0.92 (95%CI 0.90–0.95), 0.89 (95%CI: 0.85–0.93), and 1.18 (95%CI: 1.14–1.22) among those with diabetes only, CKD only, and both diabetes and CKD, respectively. Conclusion Following MI, adults with both diabetes and CKD had a higher risk for recurrent CVD events compared to those with prior CVD without diabetes or CKD.

Abstract Background Acute hyperglycemia has been recognized as a robust predictor for occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in nondiabetic patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), however, its discriminatory ability for AKI is unclear in diabetic patients after an AMI. Here, we investigated whether stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR), a novel index with the combined evaluation of acute and chronic glycemic levels, may have a better predictive value of AKI as compared with admission glycemia alone in diabetic patients following AMI. Methods SHR was calculated with admission blood glucose (ABG) divided by the glycated hemoglobin-derived estimated average glucose. A total of 1215 diabetic patients with AMI were enrolled and divided according to SHR tertiles. Baseline characteristics and outcomes were compared. The primary endpoint was AKI and secondary endpoints included all-cause death and cardiogenic shock during hospitalization. The logistic regression analysis was performed to identify potential risk factors. Accuracy was defined with area under the curve (AUC) by a receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results In AMI patients with diabetes, the incidence of AKI (4.4%, 7.8%, 13.0%; p < 0.001), all-cause death (2.7%, 3.6%, 6.4%; p = 0.027) and cardiogenic shock (4.9%, 7.6%, 11.6%; p = 0.002) all increased with the rising tertile levels of SHR. After multivariate adjustment, elevated SHR was significantly associated with an increased risk of AKI (odds ratio 3.18, 95% confidence interval: 1.99–5.09, p < 0.001) while ABG was no longer a risk factor of AKI. The SHR was also strongly related to the AKI risk in subgroups of patients. At ROC analysis, SHR accurately predicted AKI in overall (AUC 0.64) and a risk model consisted of SHR, left ventricular ejection fraction, N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) yielded a superior predictive value (AUC 0.83) for AKI. Conclusion The novel index SHR is a better predictor of AKI and in-hospital mortality and morbidity than admission glycemia in AMI patients with diabetes.

Abstract Background Patients with diabetes without obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) by coronary angiography (CAG) have a risk of myocardial infarction (MI) similar to that of non-diabetes patients without CAD. Their cardiovascular risk compared to the general population is unknown. Purpose We examined the 10-year risks of myocardial infarction (MI), ischemic stroke, and death in diabetes patients without CAD after CAG compared to the general population. Methods We included all diabetes patients without obstructive CAD examined by CAG from 2003–2016 in Western Denmark and an age and sex matched comparison group, sampled from the general population in Western Denmark without previous history of coronary heart disease. Outcomes were MI, ischemic stroke, and death. The 10-year cumulative incidences were estimated. Adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) were estimated by stratified Cox regression using the general population as the reference group. Results We identified 5,760 diabetes patients without obstructive CAD and 29,139 individuals from the general population. Median follow-up was 7 years with 25% of participants followed for up to 10 years. Diabetes patients without obstructive CAD had an almost similar 10-year risk of MI (3.2% vs 2.9%, adjusted HR 0.91, 95% CI 0.70–1.17, Figure) compared to the general population cohort. Diabetes patients had an increased risk of ischemic stroke (5.2% vs 2.2%, adjusted HR 1.88, 95% CI 1.48–2.39), and death (29.7% vs 17.9%, adjusted HR 1.41, 95% CI 1.29–1.54). The duration of diabetes was associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Conclusions Absence of obstructive CAD by CAG in patients with diabetes ensures a low MI risk similar to the general population, but diabetes patients still have an increased risk of ischemic stroke and all-cause death despite absence of CAD.
