Background Obesity and diabetes mellitus are strongly associated with heart failure (HF) and atrial fibrillation (AF). The benefits of bariatric surgery on cardiovascular outcomes are known in people with or without diabetes mellitus. Surgical treatment of obesity might also reduce the incidence of HF and AF in individuals with obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods and Results In this register‐based nationwide cohort study we compared individuals with T2DM and obesity who underwent Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass surgery with matched individuals not treated with surgery. The main outcome measures were hospitalization for HF and/or AF and mortality in patients with preexisting HF. We identified 5321 individuals with T2DM and obesity who had undergone Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass surgery between January 2007 and December 2013 and 5321 matched controls. The individuals included were 18 to 65 years old and had a body mass index >27.5 kg/m 2 . The follow‐up time for hospitalization was until the end of 2015 (mean 4.5 years) and the end of 2016 for death. Our results show a 73% lower risk for HF (hazard ratio [HR], 0.27; CI, 0.19–0.38), 41% for AF (HR, 0.59; CI, 0.44–0.78), and 77% for concomitant AF and HF (HR, 0.23; CI, 0.12–0.46) in the surgically treated group. In patients with preexisting HF we observed significantly lower mortality in the group who underwent surgery (HR, 0.23; 95% CI, 0.12–0.43). Conclusions Bariatric surgery may reduce risk for HF and AF in patients with T2DM and obesity, speculatively via positive cardiovascular and renal effects. Obesity treatment with surgery may also be a valuable alternative in selected patients with T2DM and HF.

Abstract Purpose Stage B heart failure (SBHF), defined as LV hypertrophy (LVH) and impaired ejection fraction (EF), is precursor of reduced (HFrEF), mid-range (HFmrEF) or preserved (HFpEF) heart failure in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Left atrial enlargement (LAE) and left ventricular diastolic or systolic dysfunction (assessed with tissue doppler and speckle-tracking echocardiography) are not accepted as HF stage B equivalents. Methods 396 consecutive community-based elderly (≥65 years) patients (pts) with asymptomatic T2DM (age 76±4 years; 64% women) with preserved EF (≥40%) and no atrial fibrillation, ischemic or valvular heart disease referred to echolab and prospectively followed from January 2015 by regional cardiologist. Results Prevalence of SBHF was observed in 6% after 2 years (EF≤40%) and LVH have 13% at baseline and 20% pts after 2 years. Left atrial enlargement (>34 ml/m2) occurs in 31%, resp. 48% pts after 24 months, diastolic dysfunction (E/e' >14) in 42%, resp. 68%. Systolic dysfunction (S' ≤6.0 cm/s) was observed in 20%, resp. 33% pts, and reduced global longitudinal (GLS <16%) in 23%, resp. 40% pts (all p<0.001). After a mean follow-up of 31±4 months developed new HF 19% pts (1% HFrEF, 6% HFmrEF and 12% HFpEF). The strongest predictors of incident HFpEF were older age (15%, 45% among men and 20%, 60% among women ages 65–74, and 75–85 years, p<0.001), new-onset atrial fibrillation: hazard ratio (HR) 1.4, p<0.01, and NTproBNP >125 pg/ml (HR 2,8, p<0.001). Significant (p<0.001) echocardiografic predictors of incident HFpEF were LVH (HR 2.90), systolic dysfunction (S' ≤6.0 cm/s, HR 2.2) and reduced GLS (HR 2.38). But not abnormal E/e' and LAE were associated with incident HF. Conclusions New echocardiographic parameters are useful in prediction of incident HF and should be added to standard SBHF criteria in asymptomatic patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Additional research is needed to update HF screening guidelines.

In recent decades, there has been a rise of chronic heart failure mortality. Among the huge range of modern methods of this pathology treatment, the cardioresynchronizing therapy stands out, it allows the improvement of the patient's heart function, reduces clinical signs of the disease, improves well−being, as well as diminishes morbidity and mortality. The use of this method in the patients with a comorbid pathology, i.e. in those with chronic heart failure and type 2 diabetes, deserves a special attention. In order to determine the clinical characteristics of the patients who required a pacemaker implantation, we examined 203 patients who had reasonable indications for this in accordance with the ACC / ANA and ESC current recommendations. Another important criterion for inclusion into the group of implantation was considered to be the presence of comorbid Diabetes mellitus type 2. The gender and age characteristics of the surveyed population were dominated by elderly male patients. The presence of concomitant cardiovascular pathology depending on the age of patients was analyzed, which showed mostly hypertension of stage 2−3, a constant atrial fibrillation. In structure of comorbid pathology the somatic diseases, including type 2 Diabetes mellitus prevailed. Electrostimulators were implanted into the examined cohort of patients, among which 132 devices worked in DDD mode, 71 of the installed stimulators had the DDDR mode. The research results concluded that the implantation of a pacemaker became a necessary procedure for elderly patients, mostly men, with a high prevalence of cardiovascular (coronary heart disease, hypertension, persistent atrial fibrillation) and somatic pathology in the form of type 2 Diabetes mellitus. Key words: chronic heart failure, type 2 diabetes mellitus, pacemaker implantation, clinical features, gender and age characteristics.

Abstract Background Previous studies have suggested that recurrent heart failure hospitalizations (HFh) are a predictor of cardiovascular (CV) and all-cause mortality. Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) may be at increased risk. Purpose This real-world study examined the impact of recurrent HFh on CV mortality in subgroups of patients with (i) AF or (ii) T2DM in the UK. Methods Adult HF patients identified in the CPRD database with a first (index) hospitalization due to HF recorded in the HES dataset from 01/01/2010 to 31/12/2014 and with a claim for AF or T2DM (not mutually exclusive) within the year prior to the index hospitalization were included. Patients were followed until death, transfer out or end of study period (31/12/2017). CV death as primary cause and death due to any cause were evaluated. An extended Cox regression model was used for reporting adjusted relative CV mortality rates for time dependent recurrent HFh. Results 4585 (53.30%) HF patients with AF and 2344 (27.25%) HF patients with T2DM were included, providing 7846 and 4269 patient-years follow-up, respectively. Patients were relatively old (median [IQR] age of 81 [74–87] and 78 [70–84]) and majority were male (54.2% and 59.1%, respectively). All-cause and CV mortality rates are provided in the table. Compared with those without recurrent HFh, the adjusted hazard ratios (95% CI) for CV death for the AF group were 2.6 (2.3–3.1), 3.2 (2.5–4.1), 5.8 (4.1–8.1) and 6.9 (4.6–10.5) for 1, 2, 3 and ≥4 recurrent HFh, and for the T2DM group were 2.2 (1.7–2.8), 3.3 (2.3–4.7), 5.1 (3.3–8.1) and 3.9 (2.3–6.6), respectively. All-cause and CV mortality rates 0 Recurrent HFh 1 Recurrent HFh 2 Recurrent HFh 3 Recurrent HFh 4+ Recurrent HFh All patients AF n=3294 (71.8%) n=817 (17.8%) n=282 (6.2%) n=116 (2.5%) n=76 (1.2%) n=4585 (100.0%) Follow-up time (days) from respective recurrent HF hospitalization (median [IQR]) 345 [57–906] 118 [27–522] 80 [19–367] 54 [19–240] 126 [50–379] 254 [42–793] All-cause death (n (%)) 1755 (53.3%) 483 (59.1%) 159 (56.4%) 80 (69.0%) 46 (60.5%) 2523 (55.0%) CV death- primary cause (n (%)) 1059 (32.2%) 325 (39.8%) 109 (38.7%) 56 (48.3%) 34 (44.7%) 1583 (34.5%) T2DM n=1573 (67.1%) n=456 (19.5%) n=170 (7.3%) n=85 (3.6%) n=60 (2.6%) n=2344 (100.0%) Follow-up time (days) from respective recurrent HF hospitalization (median [IQR]) 360 [63–933] 198 [43–545] 68 [17–292] 106 [26–251] 160 [68–389] 267 [49–771] All-cause death (n (%)) 824 (52.4%) 248 (54.4%) 99 (58.2%) 51 (60.0%) 40 (66.7%) 1262 (53.8%) CV death – primary cause (n (%)) 501 (31.9%) 159 (34.9%) 69 (40.6%) 36 (42.4%) 26 (43.3%) 791 (33.8%) Conclusion Recurrent HFh are a strong predictor of CV death in the HF population with AF or with T2DM. The risk of CV and all-cause death increases with recurrent HFh in these subpopulations, highlighting the relevance of reducing hospitalizations in the management of HF patients with such comorbid conditions.

: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is one of the most common forms of the disease worldwide. Hyperglycemia and insulin resistance play key roles in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Renal glucose reabsorption is an essential feature in glycaemic control. Kidneys filter 160 g of glucose daily in healthy subjects under euglycaemic conditions. The expanding epidemic of diabetes leads to a prevalence of diabetes-related cardiovascular disorders, in particular, heart failure and renal dysfunction. Cellular glucose uptake is a fundamental process for homeostasis, growth, and metabolism. In humans, three families of glucose transporters have been identified, including the glucose facilitators GLUTs, the sodium-glucose cotransporter SGLTs, and the recently identified SWEETs. Structures of the major isoforms of all three families were studied. Sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT2) provides most of the capacity for renal glucose reabsorption in the early proximal tubule. A number of cardiovascular outcome trials in patients with type 2 diabetes have been studied with SGLT2 inhibitors reducing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. : The current review article summarises these aspects and discusses possible mechanisms with SGLT2 inhibitors in protecting heart failure and renal dysfunction in diabetic patients. Through glucosuria, SGLT2 inhibitors reduce body weight and body fat, and shift substrate utilisation from carbohydrates to lipids and, possibly, ketone bodies. These pleiotropic effects of SGLT2 inhibitors are likely to have contributed to the results of the EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial in which the SGLT2 inhibitor, empagliflozin, slowed down the progression of chronic kidney disease and reduced major adverse cardiovascular events in high-risk individuals with type 2 diabetes. This review discusses the role of SGLT2 in the physiology and pathophysiology of renal glucose reabsorption and outlines the unexpected logic of inhibiting SGLT2 in the diabetic kidney.
