Aim. To study the structural and functional myocardial characteristics in patients with exertional angina and type 2 diabetes in comparison with those without diabetes to identify combined hemodynamic changes.Material and methods. Patients were divided into two groups depen - ding on the glycemic status. The first group consisted of 49 patients (mean age, 57,9±1,04 years; male/female, 35/14) with coronary artery disease (CAD) and type 2 diabetes, while the second one (control)  — 51 patients (60,2±0,9 years, 34/17) with CAD and without diabetes. Patients were surveyed using a standard questionnaire that included socio-demographic parameters, behavioral risk factors, clinical status, medications received, and comorbidities. Diagnostic investigations were carried out, including resting electrocardiography, transthoracic echocardiography and cycle ergometry.Results. Among patients with CAD and type 2 diabetes, hypertension occurred 20% more often compared with the control group  — 98 vs 78% (p<0,004). According to the electrocardiography, the combination of diabetes and CAD was characterized by various arrhythmias, which were recorded 2,8 times more often than in the group without diabetes. According to echocardiography, signs of left ventricular hypertrophy, systolic and diastolic dysfunction prevailed in people with diabetes. Mean pulmonary artery pressure in patients with diabetes were higher than in patients without carbohydrate metabolism disorders (p<0,004). According to the stress test, exercise tolerance in experimental group patients was lower than in patients in the control group.Conclusion. The combination of chronic CAD and type 2 diabetes is cha - racterized by a more common combination with hypertension, impaired central and intracardiac hemodynamics, as well as left ventricular hypertrophy. In people with diabetes, impaired systolic and diastolic myocardial function is combined with reduced exercise tolerance.

Backgraund: Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are associated with with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and coronary artery disease (CAD), in particular. Obesity lead to several fibrotic processes, including activation of transforming growth factor (TGF-). Recent data indicate the involvement of Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF-21) as an important metabolic regulator, and even biomarker of metabolic changes in obesity and T2DM. Impact of metabolic dysregulation that accompany obesity and T2DM in CAD development remain a great challenge. Aims: To study TGF- and FGF-21 level in patients with obesity and T2DM. Materials and methods: TGF- and FGF-21 were identified in peripheral blood samples of 66 patients with obesity, aged 48-65 years. 1st group included 21 patients with CHD and T2DM; 2nd group (22 patients)- with T2DM and excluded CHD; 3rd group (20 patients) with normal glucose metabolism and excluded CHD. Results: TGF- was lower in patients with CHD (group 1) than in the group of "metabolically healthy" obesity (p=0.022). TGF- in patients with T2DM negatively correlated with LDL cholesterol (r=-0.426, p=0.038) the degree of internal carotid artery stenosis (r=-0.426, p=0.024). Patients with verified CHD had a negative correlation with the processes of heart muscle remodeling (thickness of the left ventricular posterior wall (r=- 0.386, p=0.029) interventricular septum (r=-0.335, p=0.031). All patients with obesity had significantly increased level of FGF-21 compared with the control group (p=0.031) FGF-21 positively correlated with BMI (r=0.473, p=0.033) Conclusions: TGF- has negative correlations with the factors that can influence prognosis and the severity of the CVD/. There were found correlations of FGF-21, TGF- with pathological angiogenesis and changes in normal cardiac geometry in obesity, T2DM and CAD.

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the association between proinflammatory cytokines in special, the interleukin-6 (IL-6), and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) levels in coronary artery disease (CAD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods: This study was conducted from November 2017 to March 2018 in Anbar, Iraq. We studied a total of 90 individuals (46 men and 44 women) aged between 20 and 87 years. The samples were divided into four groups: CAD patients (n=23), T2DM patients (n=23), coronary artery disease and type 2 diabetes together in the same patient (n=23), and control group (n=21). The concentrations of IL-6 and IGF-1 were determined using a commercially available enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay.Results: The results of the present study showed that there were elevated serum levels of IL-6 and low levels of IGF-1 in all the tested groups, compared with the control. The difference was statistically significant at p<0.05. The results showed a positively correlated between IL-6 and IGF-1 in the CAD group and T2DM group, while it was a negative correlation between serum levels of IL-6 and IGF-1 in the T2DM+CAD group.Conclusion: Elevated levels serum of IL-6 predicts the development of CAD and T2DM. These data support a possible role for inflammation in diabetogenesis and complication of the cardiovascular disease. There is an inverse relationship between the levels serum of IGF-1 and increased risk of CAD and development of T2DM.

Abstract Background Diastolic dysfunction is highly prevalent in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and is associated with overweight, glucose dysregulation and coronary artery disease (CAD). The GLP-1 receptor agonist, liraglutide, has shown to induce weight loss and improve metabolic factors, thus modulating factors associated with diastolic dysfunction. We have previously reported the effects of liraglutide on systolic function, and in this current study we explore the effects of liraglutide on diastolic function parameters in patients with stable CAD, preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and newly diagnosed T2DM. Methods Thirty subjects were randomized to liraglutide or placebo intervention for 12 + 12-weeks in this double-blind cross-over study. 2D-echocardiography using tissue velocity imaging was used for assessment of diastolic function parameters. Early diastolic filling velocity (E), late atrial filling velocity (A), E-wave deceleration time (EDT) and E/A ratio was assessed from the pulse wave (PW)-Doppler velocity recording of the mitral inflow. Peak early diastolic annular velocities (e′) was measured from color tissue doppler images. Results Liraglutide, when compared to placebo, induced a significant reduction in average e′ and lateral e′ velocities (– 0.57 cm/s [– 1.05 to − 0.08] and –0.74 cm/s [–1.32 to –0.15], respectively). Adjusted for the concomitant increase in HR (+ 6.16 bpm [0.79 to 11.54], the changes were not significant. No significant changes in other diastolic function parameters were observed. Conclusions Liraglutide therapy did not improve any diastolic function parameters in subjects with T2DM, CAD, and preserved LVEF. Instead, a deterioration in e’ was observed, which was associated to an increase in heart rate induced by liraglutide therapy.
