Aim.To study the link of increased serum concentrations of osteoprotegerin (OPG) in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM 2), osteoporosis or osteopenia with the development of cardiovascular events (primarily, decompensation of CHF, including those requiring hospitalization, death from cardiovascular disease, acute coronary syndrome or acute ischemic stroke) to determine the possibility of using this biomarker as a predictor of a severe course of cardiovascular disease in these patients.Materials and methods.In a 12-month cohort observational study included 75 patients (mean age 57.4 ± 5.4 years) with CHF associated with DM 2, osteoporosis or osteopenia. Cardiovascular events were analyzed in three groups of patients formed based terteling ranges of concentration of the OPG level in serum: in the 1st group (n= 25) included patients with serum OPG concentration is less than 5.0 pmol/l; in the 2nd group (n= 25) OPG level of 5.0–7.2 pmol/l; in the 3rd group (n= 25) - with the content of OPG more than 7.2 pmol/L. The serum OPG, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) serum levels were determined by ELISA. Assessment of bone mineral density (BMD) was performed by a densitometric method using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.Results.Highly reliable increased expression of OPG in 2 and 3th tertiles was found in patients with CHF associated with type 2 diabetes in comparison with the control group. The frequency of adverse events gradually increased from the 1st tertile to the 3rd tertile OPG. With the median for OPG more than 5.2 pmol/L and BMD less than -2.5 standard deviations, the highest frequency (60.9%) of adverse cardiovascular events was identified. A close correlation of OPG with the values of pro-inflammatory cytokines-TNF-α (r= 0.46;p= 0.019) and IL-1β (r= 0.4;p= 0.01), glycated hemoglobin (r= 0.55;p= 0.009) and the severity of CHF (r= 0.49;p= 0.013).Conclusions.Osteoprotegerin is an independent risk factor for the development of comorbid cardiovascular pathology: CHF associated with DM 2 and osteoporosis. It seems clinically justified to use OPG to stratify the risk of progression of cardiovascular pathology.

Introduction: Type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with early and severe atherosclerosis. However, few biomarkers can predict cardiovascular events in this population. Methods: We followed 964 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), assessing plasma levels of galectin-3, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), and N-terminal fragment of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) at baseline. The secondary outcomes were acute ischemia and heart failure or death. The primary outcome was the combination of the secondary outcomes. Results. Two hundred thirty-two patients had T2DM. Patients with T2DM showed higher MCP-1 (144 (113–195) vs. 133 (105–173) pg/mL, p = 0.006) and galectin-3 (8.3 (6.5–10.5) vs. 7.8 (5.9–9.8) ng/mL, p = 0.049) levels as compared to patients without diabetes. Median follow-up was 5.39 years (2.81–6.92). Galectin-3 levels were associated with increased risk of the primary outcome in T2DM patients (Hazard ratio (HR) 1.57 (1.07–2.30); p = 0.022), along with a history of cerebrovascular events. Treatment with clopidogrel was associated with lower risk. In contrast, NT-proBNP and MCP-1, but not galectin-3, were related to increased risk of the event in nondiabetic patients (HR 1.21 (1.04–1.42); p = 0.017 and HR 1.23 (1.05–1.44); p = 0.012, respectively), along with male sex and age. Galectin-3 was also the only biomarker associated with the development of acute ischemic events and heart failure or death in T2DM patients, while, in nondiabetics, MCP-1 and NT-proBNP, respectively, were related to these events. Conclusion: In CAD patients, galectin-3 plasma levels are associated with cardiovascular events in patients with T2DM, and MCP-1 and NT-proBNP in those without T2DM.

The article presents a literature review of prevalence, prognosis and treatment of overt tactics of chronic heart failure (CHF) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Application of modern pharmacological preparations and instrumental treatment of cardiovascular disease (CVD) increases life expectancy and improves the quality of life of patients with CHF as with normal carbohydrate metabolism (UO), and with type 2 diabetes. However, the risk of cardiovascular mortality (CAS) in patients with type 2 diabetes, compared to having a normal carbohydrate metabolism remains unchanged.Insulin resistance (IR) and compensatory hyperinsulinemia (GI) play a key role in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. Ongoing research in the twentieth century of coronary heart disease (CHD) and heart failure in patients with type 2 diabetes revealed adverse effects of sulfonylurea medications on the metabolic processes in the myocardium and increased risk of death in patients with severe coronary artery disease. In comparison with sulfonylurea drugs, metformin and insulin not only reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, but also can prevent or delay the development of type 2 diabetes in individuals with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and impaired fasting glucose. Metformin acts on the key link of pathogenesis - insulin resistance, affecting the lower incidence of cardiovascular diseases, the development of chronic disease and mortality compared with insulin and sulfonylurea drugs. However, in patients with chronic heart failure is contraindicated the use of thiazolidinediones and metformin is limited tothe severity of CHF I-II FC NYNA. With effective treatment of chronic heart failure by cardiologists in patients with type 2 diabetes, affecting therapy with insulin resistance should be mandatory.

The article presents a literature review of prevalence, prognosis and treatment of overt tactics of chronic heart failure (CHF) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Diabetes and heart failure acquire the status of the epidemic of the XXI century and require health care costs for prevention and treatment of these diseases. Application of modern pharmacological preparations and instrumental treatment of cardiovascular disease (CVD) increases life expectancy and improves the quality of life of patients with CHF as with normal carbohydrate metabolism (UO), and with type 2 diabetes. However, the risk of cardiovascular mortality (CAS) in patients with type 2 diabetes, compared to having a normal carbohydrate metabolism remains unchanged. The rapidly growing population of patients with type 2 diabetes will soon change this in recent years to improve representation treatment prognosis of cardiovascular disease. Violation of myocardial remodeling in type 2 diabetes is caused by a combination of factors associated with diabetic cardiomyopathy. Reduction of the metabolic activity of cardiomyocytes insufficient glucose transport into cells, endothelial dysfunction, diabetic macro and microangiopathy myocardial fibrosis leading to disruption of filling the left ventricle (LV) and the development of chronic heart failure.Insulin resistance (IR) and compensatory hyperinsulinemia (GI) play a key role in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. With effective treatment of chronic heart failure by cardiologists in patients with type 2 diabetes, affecting therapy with insulin resistance should be mandatory.

Background and objectivesCKD and type 2 diabetes mellitus interact to increase the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (i.e., cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or stroke) and congestive heart failure. A maladaptive epigenetic response may be a cardiovascular risk driver and amenable to modification with apabetalone, a selective modulator of the bromodomain and extraterminal domain transcription system. We examined this question in a prespecified analysis of BETonMACE, a phase 3 trial.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsBETonMACE was an event-driven, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial comparing effects of apabetalone versus placebo on major adverse cardiovascular events and heart failure hospitalizations in 2425 participants with type 2 diabetes and a recent acute coronary syndrome, including 288 participants with CKD with eGFR <60 ml/min per 1.73 m2 at baseline. The primary end point in BETonMACE was the time to the first major adverse cardiovascular event, with a secondary end point of time to hospitalization for heart failure.ResultsMedian follow-up was 27 months (interquartile range, 20–32 months). In participants with CKD, apabetalone compared with placebo was associated with fewer major adverse cardiovascular events (13 events in 124 patients [11%] versus 35 events in 164 patients [21%]; hazard ratio, 0.50; 95% confidence interval, 0.26 to 0.96) and fewer heart failure–related hospitalizations (three hospitalizations in 124 patients [3%] versus 14 hospitalizations in 164 patients [9%]; hazard ratio, 0.48; 95% confidence interval, 0.26 to 0.86). In the non-CKD group, the corresponding hazard ratio values were 0.96 (95% confidence interval, 0.74 to 1.24) for major adverse cardiovascular events, and 0.76 (95% confidence interval, 0.46 to 1.27) for heart failure–related hospitalization. Interaction of CKD on treatment effect was P=0.03 for major adverse cardiovascular events, and P=0.12 for heart failure–related hospitalization. Participants with CKD showed similar numbers of adverse events, regardless of randomization to apabetalone or placebo (119 [73%] versus 88 [71%] patients), and there were fewer serious adverse events (29% versus 43%; P=0.02) in the apabetalone group.ConclusionsApabetalone may reduce the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with CKD and type 2 diabetes who have a high burden of cardiovascular disease.

The Relationship

The relationship between cardiovascular disease, heart failure (HF) and Type-2 diabetes (T2DM) is widely recognized. Cardiovascular (CV) outcome trials are required for all new glucose-lowering agents to confirm safety with respect to CV risk. CV outcome trials with SGLT2i inhibitors have shown CV benefit, with reductions in major CV events and HF. This review focuses on the DECLARE-TIMI 58 trial with dapagliflozin in T2DM, which showed noninferiority for major adverse cardiovascular events and reduction in hospitalization for HF and associated CV mortality in a broad range of patients with T2DM. The DAPA-HF trial of dapagliflozin in people with HF with reduced ejection fraction with and without T2DM confirms benefits for those with HF.

Current Utilization

Abstract Background: Sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2 inhibitors) are a recent addition to the armamentarium for treating type 2 diabetes. Over the last couple of years, these agents have been studied in patients with cardiovascular disease, particularly heart failure. Results of the EMPA-REG (Empagliflozin Cardiovascular Outcome Event Trial in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients), CANVAS (Canagliflozin Cardiovascular Assessment Study) and DECLARE-TIMI (Dapagliflozin Effect on Cardiovascular Events-Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction) have clearly shown SGLT2 inhibitors to be beneficial for patients with heart failure. FDA has approved Canagliflozin and Dapagliflozin for reduction of risk of adverse cardiovascular events in patients with Type 2 Diabetes with established Cardiovascular disease. This study was conducted to determine the current utilization trends of SGLT2 inhibitors in Type 2 Diabetics admitted with congestive heart failure exacerbation at Abington Memorial Hospital. Methods: The study was an observational retrospective chart review of 287 patients who were admitted to the telemetry floor with an admitting diagnosis of Congestive Heart Failure with a concomitant diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes from 06/01/2019 to 11/30/2019. 186 patients met the inclusion criteria. Results: Mean age of the patient population was 69 years. Mean ejection fraction was 39%. Mean A1C was 7.7. Out of 186 patients who met the inclusion criteria, 2 patients were on SGLT2 inhibitor on admission and were discharged on it. 1 patient was started on a SGLT2 inhibitor during hospitalization and was discharged on it. Out of our patient population, only 1.6% of the patients were discharged on SGLT2 inhibitor. Conclusion: Even after FDA approval of SGLT-2 inhibitors in reducing heart failure hospitalizations in patients with known history of Type 2 diabetes and heart failure, the utilization of these drugs is very minimal. No other drug has been proven to improve mortality in patients of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Based on the results of this study, we propose that initiation of SGLT2 inhibitor should be one of the core measures during discharge of Type 2 Diabetics after a hospitalization with Heart Failure.

Aim. To study the effectiveness of oral alendronate and ibandronate bisphosphonates for the prevention of cardiovascular complications in postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and osteoporosis during a 12-month prospective observation. Materials and methods. The study included 86 women with osteoporosis, chronic heart failure (CHF) and type 2 diabetes: the 1st group (n=52) included patients who received basic therapy for heart failure; the 2nd group (n=34) included patients who, in addition to the basic therapy of heart failure, were prescribed alendronic and ibandronic acid preparations for the treatment of osteoporosis. In order to identify the possibility of associating the studied factors with the nature of the course of heart failure, the patients were divided according to the results of a one - year follow - up into two subgroups: subgroup A (n=49) - patients with a favorable course of the disease and subgroup B (n=37) - patients with an unfavorable course of pathology. Results and discussion. After 12 months, a significant decrease in the levels of cerebral natriuretic peptide precursor (NT-proBNP), tumor necrosis factor-α, and interleukin-1β was found in the group of women treated with bisphosphonates compared to baseline. Significant associations of NT-proBNP levels (p=0.02) and the studied cytokines (p=0.01) with an unfavorable course of heart failure were revealed. A significant association of bisphosphonate therapy with a favorable course of heart failure (p=0.01) was also revealed. The probability of developing adverse cardiovascular events during the year in the treatment of heart failure with basic therapy drugs with additional therapy of osteoporosis with bisphosphonates is significantly (p=0.0025) lower than the treatment of patients with heart failure with only basic therapy and not taking bisphosphonates for the treatment of osteoporosis. Conclusion. In postmenopausal women with associated cardiovascular pathology (CHF, type 2 diabetes and osteoporosis), prophylactic therapy with oral alendronate and ibandronate oral bisphosphonates is effective, reduces the risk of progression of heart failure, inhibits inflammatory mediators, positively affects the combined endpoints of comorbid cardiovascular pathology.
