The aim – to compare clinical and instrumental parameters and cumulative survival of women and men with chronic heart failure (CHF) and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LV EF), depending on the presence of type II diabetes mellitus.Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of 490 case histories of patients observed in the heart failure department in the period from 2011 to 2018, with CHF, II–IV NYHA functional class, LVEF ≤ 40 %, 40–80 years of age (median (quartiles)) – 64 (56.00; 69.00) years). The study group included mainly patients with coronary heart disease in combination with hypertension – 403 (82.2 %) patients, with isolated coronary heart disease – 55 (11.2 %) and with isolated hypertension – 32 (6.6 %). Most patients (278 (56.7 %)) had a permanent form of atrial fibrillation. Among the subjects were 373 (76.1 %) men and 117 (23.9 %) women. Comparisons were performed in populations of men and women depending on the presence of type 2 diabetes. Patients were included in the study in the phase of clinical compensation, in the euvolemic state.Results and discussion. The analysis revealed that the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus in the population of men with CHF and reduced LV EF is significantly lower than in the female population. There were no significant differences between the study groups by etiology, the NYHA class, as well as the structure of comorbid conditions. Also there were no significant differences in age, mean daily heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Despite expectations, insulin levels in both male and female cohorts did not differ significantly in patients with and without concomitant diabetes. In the cohort of men with CHF and reduced LV EF with concomitant diabetes the body mass index, anteroposterior left atrial size, GFR values were significantly higher, whereas the level of circulating citrulline and urea nitrogen were significantly lower compared to women. Women with CHF with reduced LV EF and concomitant diabetes compared to women without diabetes had lower LV EF and left atrial size, higher circulating citrulline levels, and E/е´ ratios. Analysis of the kidneys functional state showed deterioration of nitrogen excretory function in all study groups in the presence of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The five-year survival of men with CHF and reduced LV EF did not differ depending on the presence of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Instead, when analyzing the effect of type 2 diabetes mellitus on life expectancy in women with CHF and reduced LV EF, we observed a significantly worse prognosis.Conclusions. Woman with CHF and reduced LV EF with concomitant type 2 diabetes mellitus is characterized by a worse clinical course of the disease, which is combined with signs of more pronounced damage to target organs (heart, kidneys). At the same time, in women with diabetes, compared with men, the nitrogen-excreting renal function is significantly lower. Cumulative 5-year survival in the male cohort depending on presence of diabetes did not differ, while women with diabetes were characterized by significantly lower 5-year survival compared to women without diabetes.

The present study was focused on the assessment of electrophysiological, structural, and functional characteristics of the heart associated with ventricular rhythm disturbances in the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) suffering from diastolic cardiac insufficiency. The study involved a total of 128 patients with DM2 and coronary heart disease (CHD) exhibiting signs of functional class I-III chronic cardiac insufficiency and left ventricular ejection fraction over 50%. The patients were divided into three groups. Group 1 (n=55) included patients presenting with left ventricular relaxation. Group 2 (n=44) was comprised of the patients with the pseudo-normal type of diastolic dysfunction. Group 3 (n=29) consisted of the patients with restrictive diastolic dysfunction. The patients of the latter group were characterized by the high frequency of complicated forms of ventricular arrhythmia, such as Grade IV-V ventricular extrasystole (48.3%) and Grade III ventricular extrasystole (34.5%). Restrictive type of diastolic dysfunction was associated with the delayed fragmented activity in the end part of the ventricular complex in 72.4% of the patients. The close correlation between the left ventricular diastolic function and parameters of myocardial electrical remodeling was documented.

Background: Individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus are at increased risk for heart failure (HF), particularly those with coexisting atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and/or kidney disease. Some but not all dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors have been associated with increased HF risk. We performed secondary analyses of HF and related outcomes with the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor linagliptin versus placebo in CARMELINA (The Cardiovascular and Renal Microvascular Outcome Study With Linagliptin), a cardiovascular outcomes trial that enrolled participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and/or kidney disease. Methods: Participants in 27 countries with type 2 diabetes mellitus and concomitant atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and/or kidney disease were randomized 1:1 to receive once daily oral linagliptin 5 mg or placebo, on top of standard of care. All hospitalization for HF (hHF), cardiovascular outcomes, and deaths were prospectively captured and centrally adjudicated. In prespecified and post hoc analyses of HF and related events, Cox proportional hazards models adjusting for region and baseline history of HF were used. Recurrent hHF events were analyzed using a negative binomial model. In a subset of participants with left ventricular ejection fraction captured within the year before randomization, HF-related outcomes were assessed in subgroups stratified by left ventricular ejection fraction > or ≤50%. Results: CARMELINA enrolled 6979 participants (mean age, 65.9 years; estimated glomerular filtration rate, mL/min per 1.73m 2 ; hemoglobin A1c, 8.0%; 62.9% men; diabetes mellitus duration, 14.8 years), including 1873 (26.8%) with a history of HF at baseline. Median follow-up was 2.2 years. Linagliptin versus placebo did not affect the incidence of hHF (209/3494 [6.0%] versus 226/3485 [6.5%], respectively; hazard ratio [HR], 0.90; 95% CI, 0.74–1.08), the composite of cardiovascular death/hHF (HR, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.82–1.08), or risk for recurrent hHF events (326 versus 359 events, respectively; rate ratio, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.75–1.20). There was no heterogeneity of linagliptin effects on hHF by history of HF at baseline, baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate or urine albumin-creatinine ratio, or prerandomization left ventricular ejection fraction. Conclusions: In a large, international cardiovascular outcome trial in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus and concomitant atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and/or kidney disease, linagliptin did not affect the risk of hHF or other selected HF-related outcomes, including among participants with and without a history of HF, across the spectrum of kidney disease, and independent of previous left ventricular ejection fraction.

AIM: To evaluate the plasma level of circulating heptocyte growth factor (HGF) in patients with comorbidity of post-infarction chronic heart failure (CHF), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. We also aimed to assess possible correlations between HGF levels and parameters of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, as well as myocardial functional characteristics and classic biochemical severity markers for CHF.17Сахар ный диабет КардиологияСахарный диабет. 2013;(2):17-25 MATERIALS AND METHODS: We enrolled 100 patients for participation in this study, including the following subgroups: 20 individuals with- out cardiovascular and glycemic disorders, 30 patients with CHF, 25 patients with CHF/T2DM comorbidity and 25 diabetic patients with no signs of heart failure. Quantitative plasma HGF analysis was performed with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS: Plasma HGF was elevated both in patients with CHF and T2DM as measured against healthy control group. The elevation was most prominent in patients with CHF/T2DM comorbidity and was found to correlate with HbA1c level (r=0.52, p=0.03). Plasma HGF also correlated with BMI (r=0.42, p=0007) in a unified study group, though we observed no statistically significant difference between subgroups with a trend toward higher HGF in obese patients with CHF/T2DM comorbidity (626.1?254.1 pg/ml vs 742.0?210.7 pg/ml respectively; p 0.05). Interestingly, plasma HGF was also significantly higher in controls with BMI 30 km/m2 (324.1?107.7 pg/ml vs 436.9?112.3 pg/ml, p=0.03).Circulating HGF correlated with plasma levels of N-terminal fragment of B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and such structural and functional myocardial characteristics as left atrial size and maximum volume along with left ventricular ejection fraction (EF), end-diastolic volume (EDV) and end-diastolic dimension (EDD). CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that HGF may potentially serve as a prediction marker for unfavorable myocardial remodeling and poor prognosis in CHF patients with T2DM and obesity, though this possibility should be further investigated in follow-up studies.

Introduction: Diastolic dysfunction (DD) and cardiac dyssynchrony (DS) are involved in the progression of chronic heart failure (CHF). A comparative analysis was conducted of the effect of a 6-month course of nebivolol and bisoprolol on DD, DS and metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) level in patients with ischemic chronic heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and with midrange ejection fraction (HFmrEF), as well as in patients with comorbid type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in the setting of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) after 6 months of therapy. Materials and methods: The study included 308 patients with CHFFC I-II, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) >40%, who had undergone CABG. The average dose of nebivolol in patients with DS 6 months later was 5.1±2.6 mg/day, and bisoprolol – 4.9±2.4 mg/day. Echocardiography (EchoCG) and evaluation of MMP-9 in blood plasma were performed. Mechanical myocardial asynchrony was determined by calculating the standard deviation of time to peak systolic myocardial velocity (TS-SD) and maximum segment delay (TS12) using a 6-basal and-midsegment model. Results and discussion: MMP-9 level in patients with CHF before CABG was 4.7 times higher (p<0.001). MMP-9 correlated with LVEF (r=-0.60, p<0.001), E/A (r=-0.49, p<0.001), DT (r=0.43, p<0.001), E` (r=-0.58, p<0.001) and DS: TS12 (r=0.54, p<0.001), TS-SD (r=0.49, p<0.001). The six-month course of nebivolol improved the values of DS: TS12 – by 30% (p<0.001), TS-SD – by 32% (p<0.01) and reduced the MMP-9 level by 11% (p<0.001). In patients with HFmrEF without DSnebivolol increased E/A by 19% (p<0.01), E` – by 16% (P<0.05), and decreased E/E’ by 9% (p<0.05), DT – by 12% (p<0.05). In patients with HFpEF and DM2, nebivolol reduced TS12 by 37% (p<0.01), TS-SD – by 29% (p<0.05) and MMP-9 – by 13% (p<0.05). Conclusion: The positive effect of nebivolol on the DS, DD of the LV in patients with HFpEF, HFmrEF and with comorbid type 2 diabetes mellitus. The six-month course of nebivolol decreased the MMP-9 level in patients with ischemic CHF after CABG, including patients with T2DM.

Main funding source(s): This study was funded by (subject of fundamental scientific research on a state assignment № АААА-А17-117052310073-6 от 23.05.2017 Introduction. Growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) is a biomarker associated with inflammatory processes in the pathogenesis of chronic heart failure (CHF) which expresses in cardiomyocytes under pathological conditions. The relationship between the level of GDF-15 and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has also been proven. It is necessary to study GDF-15 in patients with CHF and T2DM. Aim To investigate the association between serum GDF-15 levels in patients with CHF of ischemic etiology and the concentration of the main leukocyte fractions depending on presence or absence of T2DM. Material and methods. The study included 42 patients. The patients were divided into 2 groups. The first group consisted of patients with CHF and T2DM (n = 14). The second group  consisted of patients with CHF without T2DM (n = 28). Determination of GDF-15 concentration was carried out by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (BioVendor, Czech Republic). The absolute concentration of lymphocytes, neutrophils, as well as the ratio of neutrophils to lymphocytes in the blood were analyzed. Statistical analysis was performed using the Statistica software (v.10.0). The data were described as a median and interquartile range, the Mann-Whitney test was used to compare them. The correlation analysis was tested using the Spearman"s correlation coefficient. Results and discussion. The average level of the GDF-15 in the study groups was comparable: 2389 (2104; 3375) pg/ml and 2309 (2047; 3014) pg/ml in the first and second groups, respectively (p = 0.6). In the general cohort of CHF patients, the GDF-15 concentration was not correlate with the lymphocytes concentration (r = -0.001, p = 0.95), neutrophils (r = -0.14, p = 0.4) and the ratio of neutrophils to lymphocytes (r = -0.12, p = 0.25). At the same time, in the group of patients with T2DM, a significant negative correlation was revealed between the concentration of GDF-15 in the serum and the concentration of neutrophils (r = -0.6, p = 0.022). While both other analyzed parameters did not demonstrate significant correlations with GDF-15 (p > 0.05). In the group of CHF patients without T2DM, no correlations were found between GDF-15 and the studied parameters, including neutrophils (r = 0.02, p = 0.3). Along with this the median of the neutrophils concentration did not vary among groups (3.5 (2.3; 5.3) vs 3.2 (2.7; 4.1) * 109 / l; p = 0.8). Conclusion The concentration of the inflammatory marker GDF-15 in the blood of patients with CHF in combination with T2DM correlates with the concentration of neutrophils. In the absence of T2DM, no significant correlations were found between GDF-15 and the main leukocyte fractions. The results obtained indicate the possible prospect of using the GDF-15 biomarker in a cohort of patients with CHF in combination with T2DM.

Abstract Background Recent randomized, placebo-controlled trial in patients with type 2 diabetes demonstrated that the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors reduced mortality, cardiovascular events and hospitalization for heart failure. However, those trials were not specialized design to investigate the effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors in patients with heart failure, in particular with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate the drug efficacy of luseogliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor, compared with voglibose, an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, using brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) in type 2 diabetes patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Methods This study was a prospective, multicenter, open-label, randomized-controlled trial, comparing luseogliflozin 2.5 mg once daily or voglibose 0.2 mg three times daily in patients with type 2 diabetes suffering from heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (left ventricular ejection fraction >45% and BNP ≥35 pg/ml2) in a 1:1 randomization fashion. Randomization was undertaken using a computer-generated random sequence web response system. The primary outcome was the difference from baseline in BNP after 12 weeks of treatment between two drugs. The key secondary outcomes were the change from baseline in left ventricular ejection fraction and E/e' in echocardiographic parameters, body weight, glycohemoglobin level after 12 weeks of treatment. The safety outcomes included the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events, hypoglycemic adverse events, and urinary tract infection. Results Between December 2015 and September 2018, 173 patients from 16 hospitals and clinics have been included in this study. Of those, 83 patients were assigned to receive luseogliflozin and 82 to receive voglibose. There was no significant difference in the reduction in the BNP concentration after 12 weeks from baseline between the two groups; the ratio of the average values at week 12 to the baseline value was 0.91 in the luseoglifllzin group as compared with 0.98 in the voglibose group (percent change, −9.0% vs. −1.9%, ratio of change with luseogliflozin vs. voglibose, 0.93; 95% confidence interval, 0.78 to 1.10; p=0.26). The key secondary outcomes including left ventricular ejection fraction, E/e', body weight, glycohemoglobin level and the safety outcomes did not differ significantly between the two groups. Conclusions In type 2 diabetes patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, the administration of luseogliflozin did not lead to a significant reduction in the BNP concentration than that of voglibose. Left ventricular ejection fraction, E/e', body weight and glycohemoglobin level after 12 weeks of treatment, comparing with at baseline did not differ significantly between the two groups.
