Detction of chronic heart failure at the stage of reversible changes can prevent the development of cardiovascular complications, reduce morbidity and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The aim of our study was to explore the level of N-terminal fragment of pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and to evaluate the possibility of using this marker in diagnostics of chronic heart failure in patients with type 2 diabetes. The study included 60 patients with type 2 diabetes and concomitant chronic heart failure. All patients underwent echocardiography, blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin, creatinine, and NT-proBNP measurement. All patients with diabetes mellitus were shown to have elevated NT-proBNP levels in comparison with the control group. We established negative correlation of this parameter with the left ventricular ejection fraction and inverse correlation between NT-proBNP and blood glucose. The study confirmed the value of NT-proBNP measurement for diagnostics of CHF but demonstrated low specificity of this test for the assessment of severity (functional class) of CHF in patients with type 2 diabetes.

IntroductionDiabetes mellitus is a growing public health epidemic in Asia. We examined the impact of type 2 diabetes, glycemic control and microvascular complications on mortality and cardiovascular outcomes in a multiethnic population-based cohort of Asians without prior cardiovascular disease.Research design and methodsThis was a prospective population-based cohort study in Singapore comprising participants from the three major Asian ethnic groups: Chinese, Malays and Indians, with baseline examination in 2004–2011. Participants with type 1 diabetes and those with cardiovascular disease at baseline were excluded. Type 2 diabetes, Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels and presence of microvascular complications (diabetic retinopathy and nephropathy) were defined at baseline. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), defined as a composite of cardiovascular mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke and revascularization, collected using a national registry.ResultsA total of 8541 subjects were included, of which 1890 had type 2 diabetes at baseline. Subjects were followed for a median of 6.4 (IQR 4.8–8.8) years. Diabetes was a significant predictor of mortality (adjusted HR 1.74, 95% CI 1.45 to 2.08, p<0.001) and MACE (adjusted HR 1.64, 95% CI 1.39 to 1.93, p<0.001). In those with diabetes, higher HbA1c levels were associated with increased MACE rates (adjusted HR (per 1% increase) 1.18, 95% CI 1.11 to 1.26, p<0.001) but not mortality (p=0.115). Subjects with two microvascular complications had significantly higher mortality and MACE compared with those with only either microvascular complication (adjusted p<0.05) and no microvascular complication (adjusted p<0.05).ConclusionDiabetes is a significant predictor of mortality and cardiovascular morbidity in Asian patients without prior cardiovascular disease. Among patients with type 2 diabetes, poorer glycemic control was associated with increased MACE but not mortality rates. Greater burden of microvascular complications identified a subset of patients with poorer outcomes.
