Abstract Background: Atherogenic index of plasm (AIP) has been identified as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and an independent predictor of mortality. However, it remains unknown whether AIP level may predict mortality in patients with diabetes and acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods: A total of 2531 consecutive patients with type 2 diabetes who underwent coronary angiography for ACS were enrolled in the study. Patients were divided into tertiles according to admission AIP level. The AIP was calculated as the base 10 logarithm of the ratio of the fating concentration of triglyceride (TG) to high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C). The primary endpoints were all-cause death and cardiovascular death. Multivariate cox hazard regression analysis were performed to calculate the hazard ratio(HR)and 95%confidence interval(CI).C-statistics, continuous net reclassification improvement(NRI),and integrated discrimination improvement(IDI) were calculated to evaluate the added prognostic value of AIP beyond the established mode for prediction of death.Results: During 3-year follow-up, all-cause death events occurred in 142 cases and cardiovascular death events occurred in 120 cases, respectively. The risk of all-cause death and cardiovascular death increased with AIP tertiles at a 3-year follow-up. The Kaplan-Meier curves showed that significant differences in event-free survival rates among AIP tertiles(all-cause mortality: p=0.006; cardiovascular mortality: p=0.003).Multivariate cox hazard regression analysis revealed that AIP was independently associated with all-cause death (HR: 3.859, 95% CI:1.926-7.734; p<0.001) and cardiovascular death (HR:4.723, 95% CI: 2.243-9.946; p<0.001). Addition of AIP to the established mode for mortality prediction was not associated with a significant improvement in the C-statistics value but there were significant improvements in reclassification for all-cause death (NRI: 0.198, p=0.022; IDI: 0.008, p=0.016) and cardiovascular death (NRI: 0.260, p=0.006; IDI: 0.010, p=0.021).Conclusions: Admission AIP was independently correlated with long-term mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes and ACS. These findings suggest that AIP may optimize the mortality prediction among patients with diabetes and ACS.

Purpose Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) has been associated with both protective and detrimental effects on the development of ischemic heart disease. The relationship between IGF-1 levels and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between IGF-1 admission levels in hyperglycemic ACS patients and: (1) MACE over a 5 years follow-up, (2) type 2 diabetes at discharge, and (3) post-ACS myocardial infarct size and dysfunction. Methods This was a post hoc analysis of the BIOMArCS-2 randomized controlled trial. From July 2008 to February 2012, 276 ACS patients with admission plasma glucose level between 140 and 288 mg/dL were included. Records of the composite of all-cause mortality and recurrent non-fatal myocardial infarction were obtained during 5 years follow-up. Venous blood samples were collected on admission. IGF-1 was measured batchwise after study completion. Oral glucose tolerance test was performed to diagnose type 2 diabetes, whereas infarct size and left ventricular function were assessed by myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) imaging, 6 weeks post-ACS. Results Cumulative incidence of MACE was 24% at 5 years follow-up. IGF-1 was not independently associated with MACE (HR:1.00 (95%CI:0.99–1.00), p = 0.29). Seventy-eight patients (28%) had type 2 diabetes at discharge, and the highest quartile of IGF-1 levels was associated with the lowest incidence of diabetes (HR:0.40 (95%CI:0.17–0.95), p = 0.037). IGF-1 levels were not associated with post-ACS myocardial infarct size and dysfunction. Conclusions IGF-1 carries potential for predicting type 2 diabetes, rather than long-term cardiovascular outcomes and post-ACS myocardial infarct size and dysfunction, in hyperglycemic ACS patients.

Background: Heart failure (HF) is one of the mayor contributors to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with diabetes. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have demonstrated to reduce the risk of hospitalization for HF in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). We aimed to assess the risk for re-hospitalization in a cohort of patients hospitalized for HF according to whether or not they received canagliflozin at discharge, as well as changes in N-terminal pro–B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-ProBNP) concentration during follow-up. Methods: We conducted a retrospective longitudinal study at a tertiary centre including 102 consecutive T2D patients discharged for acute HF without contraindication for SGLT2 inhibitors. We compared adverse clinical events (HF rehospitalization and cardiovascular death) and NT-ProBNP changes according to canagliflozin prescription at discharge. Results: Among the 102 patients included, 45 patients (44.1%) were prescribed canagliflozin and the remaining 57 (55.9%) were not prescribed any SGLT2 inhibitors (control group). After a median follow-up of 22 months, 45 patients (44.1%) were hospitalized for HF. Most of the rehospitalizations occurred during the first year (37.3%). HF readmission at first year occurred in 10 patients (22.2%) in the canagliflozin group and 29 patients (49.1%) in the control group (hazard ratio (HR): 0.45; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.21–0.96; p < 0.039). A composite outcome of hospitalization for HF or death from cardiovascular causes was lower in the canagliflozin group (37.8%) than in the control group (70.2%) (HR: 0.51; 95% CI: 0.27–0.95; p < 0.035). Analysis of NT-ProBNP concentration showed an interaction between canagliflozin therapy and follow-up time (p = 0.002). Conclusions: Canagliflozin therapy at discharge was associated with a lower risk of readmission for HF and a reduction in NT-ProBNP concentration in patients with diabetes after hospitalization for HF.

Abstract Background Prasugrel and ticagrelor are both effective anti-platelet drugs for patients with acute coronary syndrome. However, there has been limited data on the direct comparison of prasugrel and ticagrelor until the recent ISAR-REACT 5 trial. Purpose To compare the efficacy of prasugrel and ticagrelor in patients with acute coronary syndrome with respect to the primary composite endpoint of myocardial infarction (MI), stroke or cardiac cardiovascular death, and secondary endpoints including MI, stroke, cardiovascular death, major bleeding (Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) type 2 or above), and stent thrombosis within 1 year. Methods Meta-analysis was performed on randomised controlled trials (RCT) up to December 2019 that randomised patients with acute coronary syndrome to either prasugrel or ticagrelor. RCTs were identified from Medline, Embase and ClinicalTrials.gov using Cochrane library CENTRAL by 2 independent reviewers with “prasugrel” and “ticagrelor” as search terms. Effect estimates with confidence intervals were generated using the random effects model by extracting outcome data from the RCTs to compare the primary and secondary clinical outcomes. Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomised trials (Ver 2.0) was used for assessment of all eligible RCTs. Results 411 reports were screened, and we identified 11 eligible RCTs with 6098 patients randomised to prasugrel (n=3050) or ticagrelor (n=3048). The included trials had a follow up period ranging from 1 day to 1 year. 330 events on the prasugrel arm and 408 events on the ticagrelor arm were recorded. There were some concerns over the integrity of allocation concealment over 7 trials otherwise risk of other bias was minimal. Patients had a mean age of 61±4 (76% male; 50% with ST elevation MI; 35% with non-ST elevation MI; 15% with unstable angina; 25% with diabetes mellitus; 64% with hypertension; 51% with hyperlipidaemia; 42% smokers). There was no significant difference in risk between the prasugrel group and the ticagrelor group on the primary composite endpoint (Figure 1) (Risk Ratio (RR)=1.17; 95% CI=0.97–1.41; p=0.10, I2=0%). There was no significant difference between the use of prasugrel and ticagrelor with respect to MI (RR=1.24; 95% CI=0.81–1.90; p=0.31); stroke (RR=1.05; 95% CI=0.66–1.67; p=0.84); cardiovascular death (RR=1.01; 95% CI=0.75–1.36; p=0.95); BARC type 2 or above bleeding (RR=1.17; 95% CI =0.90–1.54; p=0.24); stent thrombosis (RR=1.58; 95% CI =0.90–2.76; p=0.11). Conclusion Compared with ticagrelor, prasugrel did not reduce the primary composite endpoint of MI, stroke and cardiovascular death within 1 year. There was also no significant difference in the risk of MI, stroke, cardiovascular death, major bleeding and stent thrombosis respectively. Figure 1.

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.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Recent emphasis on reduced duration and/or intensity of antiplatelet therapy following PCI irrespective of indication for PCI may fail to account for the substantial risk of subsequent nontarget lesion events in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. This study sought to investigate the benefits and risks of extended-term (&gt;12-month) DAPT as compared with short-term DAPT in high-risk "TWILIGHT-like" ACS patients undergoing PCI. Methods All consecutive patients fulfilling the "TWILIGHT-like" criteria undergoing PCI from January 2013 to December 2013 were identified from the prospective Fuwai PCI Registry. High-risk "TWILIGHT-like" patients were defined by at least 1 clinical and 1 angiographic feature based on TWILIGHT trial selection criteria. The present analysis evaluated 4,875 high-risk "TWILIGHT-like" patients with ACS who were event-free at 12 months after PCI. The primary outcome was the composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction (MI), or stroke at 30 months while BARC type 2, 3, or 5 bleeding was key secondary outcome. Results Extended DAPT compared with shorter DAPT reduced the composite outcome of all-cause death, MI, or stroke by 63% (1.5% vs. 3.8%; HRadj: 0.374, 95% CI: 0.256 to 0.548; HRmatched: 0.361, 95% CI: 0.221-0.590). The HR for cardiovascular death was 0.049 (0.007 to 0.362) and that for MI 0.45 (0.153 to 1.320) and definite/probable stent thrombosis 0.296 (0.080-1.095) in propensity-matched analyses. Rates of BARC type 2, 3, or 5 bleeding (0.9% vs. 1.3%; HRadj: 0.668 [0.379 to 1.178]; HRmatched: 0.721 [0.369-1.410]) did not differ significantly in patients treated with DAPT &gt; 12-month or DAPT ≤ 12-month. The effect of long-term DAPT on primary and key secondary outcome across the proportion of ACS patients with 1-3, 4-5, or 6-9 risk factors showed a consistent manner (Pinteraction &gt; 0.05). Conclusion Among high-risk "TWILIGHT-like" patients with ACS after PCI, long-term DAPT reduced ischemic events without increasing clinically meaningful bleeding events as compared with short-term DAPT, suggesting that extended DAPT might be considered in the treatment of ACS patients who present with a particularly higher risk for thrombotic complications.

Background: Although various biomarkers predict cardiovascular event (CVE) in patients with diabetes, the relationship of urinary glycan profile with CVE in patients with diabetes remains unclear.Methods: Among 680 patients with type 2 diabetes, we examined the baseline urinary glycan signals binding to 45 lectins with different specificities. Primary outcome was defined as CVE including cardiovascular disease, stroke, and peripheral arterial disease.Results: During approximately a 5-year follow-up period, 62 patients reached the endpoint. Cox proportional hazards analysis revealed that urinary glycan signals binding to two lectins were significantly associated with the outcome after adjustment for known indicators of CVE and for false discovery rate, as well as increased model fitness. Hazard ratios for these lectins (+1 SD for the glycan index) were UDA (recognizing glycan: mixture of Man5 to Man9): 1.78 (95% CI: 1.24–2.55, P = 0.002) and Calsepa [High-Man (Man2–6)]: 1.56 (1.19–2.04, P = 0.001). Common glycan binding to these lectins was high-mannose type of N-glycans. Moreover, adding glycan index for UDA to a model including known confounders improved the outcome prediction [Difference of Harrel's C-index: 0.028 (95% CI: 0.001–0.055, P = 0.044), net reclassification improvement at 5-year risk increased by 0.368 (0.045–0.692, P = 0.026), and the Akaike information criterion and Bayesian information criterion decreased from 725.7 to 716.5, and 761.8 to 757.2, respectively].Conclusion: The urinary excretion of high-mannose glycan may be a valuable biomarker for improving prediction of CVE in patients with type 2 diabetes, and provides the rationale to explore the mechanism underlying abnormal N-glycosylation occurring in patients with diabetes at higher risk of CVE.Trial Registration: This study was registered with the University Hospital Medical Information Network on June 26, 2012 (Clinical trial number: UMIN000011525, URL: https://upload.umin.ac.jp/cgi-open-bin/ctr_e/ctr_view.cgi?recptno=R000013482).
