Abstract Background: The prevalence of peripheral artery disease (PAD) is obviously increased in patients with diabetes. Existing evidence shows that cysteine-rich angiogenic inducer 61 (Cyr61), a 40-kD secreted protein, plays important roles in regulating cellular physiological processes. Recent studies have demonstrated a significant correlation between serum Cyr61 and atherosclerosis. However, the relationship between Cyr61 levels and PAD in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) remains obscure.Methods:. Data from a total of 306 subjects with T2DM were cross-sectionally analysed. The extent of PAD was determined by using the Fontaine classification, which defines four stages. We measured serum Cyr61 concentrations by ELISA in subjects with and without PAD at Fontaine’s stage II, III, or IV. Logistic regression models were used to examine the independent association of Cyr61 with PAD.Results: Out of the 306 subjects enrolled, 150 were free from PAD, while 156 had clinically significant PAD. In subjects with PAD, the prevalences of Fontaine classification stages II, III and IV were 48.7%, 32.1%, and 19.2%, respectively. Patients with more advanced PAD had significantly higher Cyr61 (P for trend < 0.001). The prevalence of PAD on the basis of severity increased with increasing Cyr61 quartiles (all P values for trends < 0.001), and the severity of PAD was positively correlated with Cyr61 quartiles (r = 0.227, P = 0.006). The association of Cyr61 levels with PAD remained after adjusting for major risk factors in a logistic regression analysis.Conclusions: Our results demonstrated that Cyr61 was significantly increased in PAD patients with T2DM and that Cyr61 levels were positively associated with disease severity. Cyr61 could be a promising biomarker and further studies are needed to assess its clinical utility.

Abstract Background In type 2 diabetes, the temporal proximity of an atherosclerotic cardiovascular (CV) event can impact prognosis, but whether timing influences sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitor effects is unknown. We explored the association of time from last qualifying CV event before randomisation (myocardial infarction [MI], stroke, coronary artery disease or peripheral arterial disease) with CV outcomes and benefit of empagliflozin (EMPA) in EMPA-REG OUTCOME. Methods Patients (pts) were randomised to EMPA 10 mg, 25 mg or placebo and followed for 3.1 years (median). Risk of major adverse CV events (3P MACE: CV death, MI, stroke), CV death or hospitalisation for heart failure (HHF) were evaluated using Cox regression in subgroups of ≤1/>1 year since last qualifying CV event. Qualifying event stratification was possible in 6796 (97%) pts. Results In the overall population, N=6796 (4547 EMPA and 2249 placebo pts), median (Q1, Q3) time from last CV event was 3.8 (1.5–7.6) years. Overall, 1214 (EMPA 841; placebo 373) and 5582 (EMPA 3706; placebo 1876) pts had a last qualifying CV event ≤1 and >1 year, respectively. Pts with more recent events had similar risk for CV outcomes compared with pts >1 year from qualifying event (Figure). Moreover, the benefit of EMPA on CV outcomes was consistent between pts enrolled ≤1 or >1 year from the qualifying CV event (all p-interaction >0.05; Figure). Conclusion Although most pts had a qualifying CV event >1 year before randomisation in EMPA-REG OUTCOME, the benefits of EMPA appear to extend to pts with more recent CV events.

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a common metabolic disorder at a pandemic proportion at present. Often T2DM is associated with microvascular (diabetic nephropathy, neuropathy, and retinopathy) and macrovascular complications (coronary artery disease, peripheral arterial disease, and stroke). Additionally diabetic osteopathy is a significant comorbidity of T2DM and is characterized by micro architectural changes that decrease bone quality leading to an increased risk of fragility fracture.

Abstract Background Although it is known that patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) are at an increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), the actual coronary artery burden of atherosclerotic disease in patients with and without T2DM in a real-world setting and its possible modification by preventative therapies has not been extensively documented. Methods Merged coronary angiography and hospital discharge data between 2013 and 2019 were obtained for analysis and a random sub-sample of patient charts were reviewed for medication use. Propensity scores were estimated using logistic regression models and used to match patients, looking at the effect of severity of CAD over time in years in an ordinal logistic regression model. A separate propensity score was estimated and used to inverse probability weight the ordinal logistic regression looking at the effect of medication use on CAD severity in patients with and without T2DM. Results From 3,016 patients in the coronary angiography database, 1421 with T2DM and 1421 without T2DM were matched on propensity score. T2DM patients had more extensive CAD in 2018 compared to 2013 ((adjusted odds ratio) adjOR: 2.06 95% C.I. 1.38, 2.07), but this risk appeared to be attenuated in 2019. In contrast, there was no effect of time on CAD burden in patients without diabetes. In the sub-sample of 760 patients who underwent a chart review of their medication use, there were 367 (48%) with T2DM. For patients with T2DM 69.8% reported taking statins, 64.0% RAS inhibitors and 64.0% anti-platelet drugs. This was significantly higher than patients without diabetes of whom 46.6% reported taking statins, 49.0% RAS inhibitors and 49.9% anti-platelet drugs. As in the full matched sample, patients with diabetes had more extensive CAD (adjOR: 1.32 95% CI: 1.01, 1.74). However, after adjustment for the use of RAS inhibitors, statins and anticoagulants there was no difference in extent of CAD between patients with and without diabetes (adjOR: 1.14 95% CI: 0.85, 1.53). Conclusions Although patients with diabetes have a greater extent of CAD in comparison to those without T2DM, preventative medication use decreases this CAD burden significantly.

Background. The present study is undertaken to investigate the fibrinogen levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and its relation to peripheral artery disease (PAD) based on a more accurate and applied noninvasive measurements of duplex ultrasonography. Methods. We performed a cross-sectional study including 1096 T2DM patients (474 males and 622 females). The odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were presented to show the association between PAD and fibrinogen in the subjects divided by fibrinogen levels quarterly. Furthermore, the univariate and multiple logistic analyses were performed to explore the correlation between PAD and fibrinogen levels, individual components in the cross-sectional study. Results. Finally, 887 (80.9%) T2DM patients meet the diagnostic criteria of PAD and these patients had considerably higher serum fibrinogen concentration than non-PAD group (P<0.001). Multiple logistic analyses revealed that higher fibrinogen quartiles were positively related with the development of PAD in the adjusted model. After adjusting for known confounding parameters, the ORs for PAD were 1.993 (95% CI: 1.322-3.005, P<0.001), 2.469 (95% CI: 1.591-3.831, P<0.001), and 2.942 (95% CI, 1.838-4.711, P<0.001) for Q2, Q3, and Q4, respectively (all P values <0.05). Conclusions. Our results suggest that serum fibrinogen concentration can be considered as an independent risk factor for PAD in T2DM patients.

The study evaluated the influence of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) on heart rate variability (HRV) in men with coronary artery disease (CAD) with and without diabetes. Method: The study population included 141 male CAD patients prospectively and consecutively admitted to an outpatient comprehensive CR program. Twenty-seven patients with type-2 diabetes were compared with 114 males without diabetes. The participants performed a 45-min cycle ergometer interval training alternating 4-min workload and a 2-min active restitution three times a week for 8 weeks. The training intensity was adjusted so that the patient’s heart rate achieved the training heart rate calculated according to the Karvonen formula. At the baseline and after 8 weeks, all the patients underwent the HRV assessment. Results: HRV indices in the patients with diabetes were significantly lower as compared to the patients without diabetes in SDNN, TP, LF parameters, both at the baseline and after 8 weeks of CR. After 8 weeks of CR, a significant improvement of TP, SDNN, pNN50% and HF occurred in the patients without diabetes, whereas in the patients with diabetes only HF component improved significantly. Conclusions: As regards HRV indices, CR seems to be less effective in patients with CAD and type-2 diabetes.
