Abstract Background The timing of enrolment following an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) may influence cardiovascular (CV) outcomes and potentially treatment effect in clinical trials. Using a large contemporary trial in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) post-ACS, we examined the impact of timing of enrolment on subsequent CV outcomes. Methods EXAMINE was a randomized trial of alogliptin versus placebo in 5380 patients with T2DM and a recent ACS. The primary outcome was a composite of CV death, non-fatal myocardial infarction [MI], or non-fatal stroke. The median follow-up was 18 months. In this post hoc analysis, we examined the occurrence of subsequent CV events by timing of enrollment divided by tertiles of time from ACS to randomization: 8–34, 35–56, and 57–141 days. Results Patients randomized early (compared to the latest times) had less comorbidities at baseline including a history of heart failure (HF; 24.7% vs. 33.0%), prior coronary artery bypass graft (9.6% vs. 15.9%), or atrial fibrillation (5.9% vs. 9.4%). Despite the reduced comorbidity burden, the risk of the primary outcome was highest in patients randomized early compared to the latest time (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 1.47; 95% CI 1.21–1.74) (Figure 1). Similarly, patients randomized early had an increased risk of recurrent MI (aHR 1.51; 95% CI 1.17–1.96) and HF hospitalization (1.49; 95% CI 1.05–2.10). Conclusion In a contemporary cohort of T2DM with a recent ACS, early randomization following the ACS increases the risk of CV events including recurrent MI and HF hospitalization. This should be taken into account when designing future clinical trials. Figure 1 Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: Private grant(s) and/or Sponsorship.

Immunologic and inflammatory processes are involved in the pathogenesis of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). Human leukocyte antigen-G (HLA-G) is a negative regulator of the immune response. This study evaluates the 14 bp Del/Ins HLA-G polymorphism in ACS and DM2. Three hundred and seventy individuals from Western Mexico were recruited and categorized into three groups: ACS (86), DM2 without coronary complications (70), and healthy subjects (214). Genotyping of the 14 bp Del/Ins HLA-G polymorphism was performed by PCR and Native-PAGE. The most common risk factors were hypertension and overweight in ACS and DM2, respectively. The genetic distribution of the 14 bp Del/Ins HLA-G polymorphism showed no significant differences between groups (P≥0.23). Nonetheless, the Ins/Ins genotype was associated with high blood pressure (HBP) in the DM2 group (ORc = 1.65,P=0.02). The genetic recessive model showed similar findings (ORc = 3.03,P=0.04). No association was found in ACS, with aPof 0.05; nevertheless, the prevalence of Ins/Ins carriers was quite similar to that found in the DM2-HBP group. The 14 bp Del/Ins HLA-G polymorphism was not a susceptibility factor for ACS or DM2; however, the Ins/Ins genotype might have contributed to the development of HBP in the studied groups.

Abstract Objective Insulin resistance has been linked to development and progression of atherosclerosis and is present in most patients with type 2 diabetes. Whether the degree of insulin resistance predicts adverse outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is uncertain. Design The Effect of Aleglitazar on Cardiovascular Outcomes after Acute Coronary Syndrome in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus trial compared the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α/γ agonist aleglitazar with placebo in patients with type 2 diabetes and recent ACS. In participants not treated with insulin, we determined whether baseline homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR; n = 4303) or the change in HOMA-IR on assigned study treatment (n = 3568) was related to the risk of death or major adverse cardiovascular events (cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, and stroke) in unadjusted and adjusted models. Because an inverse association of HOMA-IR with N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) has been described, we specifically examined effects of adjustment for the latter. Results In unadjusted analysis, twofold higher baseline HOMA-IR was associated with lower risk of death [hazard ratio (HR): 0.79, 95% CI: 0.68 to 0.91, P = 0.002]. Adjustment for 24 standard demographic and clinical variables had minimal effect on this association. However, after further adjustment for NT-proBNP, the association of HOMA-IR with death was no longer present (adjusted HR: 0.99, 95% CI: 0.83 to 1.19, P = 0.94). Baseline HOMA-IR was not associated with major adverse cardiovascular events, nor was the change in HOMA-IR on study treatment associated with death or major adverse cardiovascular events. Conclusions After accounting for levels of NT-proBNP, insulin resistance assessed by HOMA-IR is not related to the risk of death or major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes and ACS.

Abstract Background Despite substantial improvement in type 2 diabetes (DM2) care, the burden of recurrent cardiovascular (CV) events remains high. Polyvascular disease (PVD), has recently emerged as a potential marker of heightened residual ischemic risk in DM2 patients, that are likely to derive a greater absolute risk reduction from more intense, individualized therapy. Purpose We sought to assess the relationship between DM2, PVD and CV outcomes among 2,168 all-comers patients admitted to four Swiss University Hospital for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and enrolled in the prospective multicenter SPUM registry (NCT 01000701). Methods PVD was defined as concomitant peripheral artery disease, stroke or transient ischemic attack, or both. The composite primary endpoint was major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE: Stroke, myocardial infarction, CV death). Adjusted Cox proportional hazards regression models were implemented to determine the risk associated with PVD disease in DM2 and outcomes, and intention-to-treat analysis was performed. Results Out of 2,168 ACS patients, 396 patients (18.3%) had DM2; of these 62 (15%) had PVD. Despite compared with the general ACS population, those with PVD + DM2 were more likely to have a complex history of CV disease, such as previous MI (27.4% vs 14.7%, p=0.021), prior percutaneous (37.1% vs 17%, p<0.001) or surgical (24.2% vs 5.1%, p<0.001) coronary revascularization, one third was not on statin therapy. At 1 year, patients with PVD + DM2 had a higher rate of MACCE compared to those presenting with PVD or DM2 alone. Rates of the single components of the primary endpoint and all-cause of death were all significantly higher in patients with PVD + DM2 vs. PVD or DM2 alone (Fig. 1A, all p<0.001). This enhanced risk persisted after adjustment for significant baseline differences, with a 34% (Adj. HR 1.34, 95% CI 1.15–1.49, p=0.02) increase in MACCE and a 44% increment of all cause of death (Adj. HR 1.44, 95% CI 1.06–1.54, p=0.02, Fig. 1B). Outcomes by PVD and DM2 status. Conclusions Among a real-world cohort of ACS-patients, the coexistence of PVD and DM2 highlights the highest CV risk phenotype, being associated with significant increased rates of MACCE and all-cause of death. These observations might help clinicians to furtherly stratify the very high risk population and to identify patients who may derive the greatest benefit from more intense secondary prevention therapies.

Abstract Background and Aims Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are at high risk for recurrent cardiovascular (CV) events, particularly in the presence of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Apabetalone (APB) is a novel inhibitor of bromodomain and extraterminal (BET) proteins. Its cardiovascular efficacy and safety were evaluated in a phase 3 trial, BETonMACE. Method BETonMACE was a randomized, double-blind, comparison of effects of ABP or placebo (PBO) on major adverse CV events (MACE) defined as CV-death, non-fatal myocardial infarct or stroke, in 2425 pts with T2D and recent ACS. Here we report MACE plus CHF hospitalization in subjects with or without CKD Stage 3. Results Baseline characteristics: median age 62 years, 25.6% female, 87.6% white, 90% high intensity statin use, mean LDL-C 70.3 and HDL-C 33.3 mg/dl, median HbA1c 7.3%, and 11% with CKD Stage 3. Overall in the trial, MACE plus CHF hospitalization occurred in 139 (11.5%) patients with ABP and 173 (14.3%) with PBO (HR 0.78, 95% CI 0.63-0.98). In the subgroup with CKD, MACE plus CHF hospitalization occurred in 16 (12.9%) on APB and 41 (25%) on PBO (HR 0.48, 95% CI 0.26-0.89). In the subgroup without CKD, MACE plus CHF hospitalization occurred in 123 (11.3%) and 132 (12.7%) with APB or PBO, respectively (HR 0.89, 95% CI 0.70-1. Conclusion Patients with T2D, ACS, and Stage 3 CKD have a very high risk of subsequent MACE plus CHF hospitalization. The BET protein inhibitor ABP may reduce this risk.
