ABSTRACT

Abstract: Objectives: To establish a relationship between global longitudinal strain (GLS) and Galectin-3 in pre-clinical heart failure in diabetic patients. Galectin-3 is a biomarker in heart failure with depressed ejection fraction (HFdEF). The hypothesis is presented that Galectin-3 is related to GLS and can detect left ventricular dysfunction in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Methods: Galectin-3 and GLS were measured in 121 asymptomatic individuals: 14 diabetics with mild depressed ejection fraction (mdEF) (LVEF 47.0 ± 6.9); 76 diabetics with preserved ejection fraction (LVEF 61 ± 5.5), and 31 controls (61.7 ± 5.1). Results: Galectin-3 was elevated in all diabetics vs controls (3.46 ± 1.36 ng/ml vs 2.78 ± 0.91 ng/ml; p = .003). It was also elevated in mdEF (3.76 ± 1.12 ng/ml vs 2.78 ± 0.9 ng/ml; p = .009) and pEF subjects (3.41 ± 1.40 ng/ml vs 2.78 ± 0.9 ng/ml; p = .058), respectively, vs controls. No difference in Gal-3 was found between diabetic groups (p = .603). Diabetics had lower GLS than controls (-18.5 ± 3.9 vs -20 ± 2.6; p = .022). Diabetics with mdEF had lower GLS than those with pEF (-13.3 ± 3.41 vs -19 ± 3.2; P<.001). There was no difference in GLS with pEF compared to controls (-19.4 ± 3.2 vs -20 ± 2.6; p = .70). Conclusions: Galectin-3 is elevated in diabetic patients with mdEF, and is associated with a diminished GLS. GLS could be an early marker of left ventricular dysfunction as well as evidence of diabetic cardiomyopathy.


Resumen: Objetivos: Establecer una asociación entre deformación longitudinal global (DLG) y galectina-3 en insuficiencia cardiaca preclínica en pacientes diabéticos. Galectina-3 es un biomarcador en insuficiencia cardiaca con fracción de eyección deprimida. Nuestra hipótesis es que la DLG y galectina-3 correlacionan y pueden detectar disfunción ventricular en insuficiencia cardiaca con FEVI preservada. Métodos: Se midieron galectina-3 y DLG en 121 individuos asintomáticos: 14 diabéticos con FEVI deprimida leve (FEdl) (FEVI 47 ± 6.9); 76 diabéticos con FEVI preservada (FEp) (FEVI 61 ± 5.5) y 31 sujetos controles (FEVI 61.7 ± 5.1). Resultados: Galectina-3 se encontró elevada en todos los diabéticos vs controles (3.46 ± 1.36 ng/ml vs 2.78 ± 0.91 ng/ml; p = 0.003). Está elevada en sujetos con FEdl (3.76 ± 1.12 vs 2.78 ± 0.9 vs ng/ml p = 0.009) y FEp (3.41 ± 1.40 vs 2.78 ± 0.9 ng/ml p = 0.058), respectivamente vs controles; no encontramos diferencia en galectina-3 en ambos grupos de diabéticos (p = 0.603). Los diabéticos tienen menor DLG que los controles (-18.5 ± 3.9 vs -20 ± 2.6; p = 0.022). Los diabéticos con FEdl tienen DLG más disminuida que aquellos con FEp (-13.3 ± 3.41 vs -19 ± 3.2; p < 0.001). No existe diferencia en DLG con FEp y controles (-19.4 ± 3.2 vs -20 ± 2.6; p = 0.70). Conclusiones: Galectina-3 está elevada en diabéticos con FEdl y correlaciona DLG disminuida. DLG podría ser un marcador temprano de disfunción ventricular y evidencia en miocardiopatía diabética.

ABSTRACT

La enfermedad coronaria, la hipertensión arterial y la diabetes son factores de riesgo independientes para el desarrollo de insuficiencia cardíaca y muerte. La cardiomiopatía diabética (CMD) es una de las etiologías frecuentes de cardiopatía en pacientes con diabetes tipo 1 y tipo 2. Si bien se suele plantear la CMD como la causa de la cardiopatía cuando se excluyen la hipertensión arterial, las valvulopatías y la enfermedad arterial coronaria aterotrombótica, estas coexisten con frecuencia e incluso también con la neuropatía autónoma cardiovascular. En los pacientes con CMD se puede demostrar mediante tests serológicos y por imagen alteraciones a nivel molecular, metabólico, mitocondrial, celular y tisular con infiltración grasa del músculo cardíaco, vinculadas a hiperglicemia, hiperinsulinemia y resistencia a la insulina, así como a lipotoxicidad por ácidos grasos libres, que son responsables del desarrollo de la CMD. Esta entidad primero determina disfunción diastólica del ventrículo izquierdo, más tarde disfunción sistólica e insuficiencia cardíaca. Se diagnostica mediante estudios serológicos de marcadores biológicos múltiples y por técnicas de imagen que evidencian la disfunción ventricular y mejoran la predicción pronóstica de enfermedad cardiovascular en diabéticos. En base a dichas pruebas se ha propuesto una clasificación por estadios o fenotipos clínicos de la CMD, que apunta a su diagnóstico precoz. Puede ser asintomática o ser responsable de síntomas y manifestaciones severas tales como insuficiencia cardíaca, arritmias y muerte súbita. Se puede asociar a hipertensión arterial, a enfermedad coronaria, a otras manifestaciones de microangiopatía y macroangiopatía aterotrombótica y a mortalidad cardiovascular. La prevención y el tratamiento intensivo multifactorial y personalizado de la diabetes, de todas sus alteraciones metabólicas y de la cardiopatía, mejoran la calidad y prolongan la vida. Se espera que investigaciones recientes, en proceso y futuras, determinen portentosos avances en la prevención y en el tratamiento de la CMD, que constituye una de las serias amenazas a la salud de la humanidad.


Coronary heart disease, hypertension and diabetes mellitus are independent risk factors for heart failure and death. Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is one of the common etiologies of cardiac disease in patients with diabetes type 1 or 2. Although DCM is often considered as the cause of heart disease when arterial hypertension, valvulopathies and atherothrombotic coronary artery are excluded, they coexist frequently, as well as with cardiovascular neuropathy. In patients with DCM, serological and imaging tests can show alterations at the molecular, metabolic, mitochondrial, cellular and tissue levels with fatty infiltration of the heart muscle, linked to hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, and lipotoxicity by fatty free acids, which are responsible for the development of the cardiomyopathy. The DCM first determines left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, later systolic dysfunction and heart failure. It is diagnosed by serological tests of multiple biological markers and by imaging tests that demonstrate ventricular dysfunction and improve the prognostic prediction of cardiovascular disease in diabetics. Based on these tests, a classification by stages or clinical phenotypes of DCM, which aims at its early diagnosis, has been proposed. It can be asymptomatic or be responsible for symptoms and severe manifestations such as heart failure, arrhythmias and sudden death, and may associate hypertension, coronary disease, other manifestations of microangiopathy and atherothrombotic macroangiopathy and cardiovascular mortality. The prevention and intensive multifactorial and personalized treatment of diabetes and all its metabolic and cardiac alterations, improve quality and prolong life. It is expected that ongoing and future research will determine breakthroughs in the prevention and treatment of DCM, which is one of the serious threats to the health of mankind.

ABSTRACT

Background: Data from over 4 decades have reported a higher incidence of silent infarction among patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), but recent publications have shown conflicting results regarding the correlation between DM and presence of pain in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Objective: Our primary objective was to analyze the association between DM and precordial pain at hospital arrival. Secondary analyses evaluated the association between hyperglycemia and precordial pain at presentation, and the subgroup of patients presenting within 6 hours of symptom onset. Methods: We analyzed a prospectively designed registry of 3,544 patients with ACS admitted to a Coronary Care Unit of a tertiary hospital. We developed multivariable models to adjust for potential confounders. Results: Patients with precordial pain were less likely to have DM (30.3%) than those without pain (34.0%; unadjusted p = 0.029), but this difference was not significant after multivariable adjustment, for the global population (p = 0.84), and for subset of patients that presented within 6 hours from symptom onset (p = 0.51). In contrast, precordial pain was more likely among patients with hyperglycemia (41.2% vs 37.0% without hyperglycemia, p = 0.035) in the overall population and also among those who presented within 6 hours (41.6% vs. 32.3%, p = 0.001). Adjusted models showed an independent association between hyperglycemia and pain at presentation, especially among patients who presented within 6 hours (OR = 1.41, p = 0.008). Conclusion: In this non-selected ACS population, there was no correlation between DM and hospital presentation without precordial pain. Moreover, hyperglycemia correlated significantly with pain at presentation, especially in the population that arrived within 6 hours from symptom onset. .


Fundamento: Dados de mais de 4 décadas relataram maior incidência de infarto silencioso entre os pacientes com diabetes mellitus (DM), mas publicações recentes mostraram resultados conflitantes quanto à correlação entre DM e presença de dor em pacientes com síndromes coronárias agudas (SCA). Objetivo: Nosso objetivo principal foi analisar a associação entre dor precordial e DM na chegada ao hospital. Análises secundárias avaliaram a associação entre hiperglicemia e dor precordial na apresentação, e o subgrupo de pacientes que se apresentaram em até 6 horas após o início dos sintomas. Métodos: Analisamos um registro prospectivo de 3.544 pacientes com SCA internados em unidade coronária de um hospital terciário. Desenvolvemos modelos multivariados para ajustar potenciais fatores de confusão. Resultados: Os pacientes com dor precordial eram menos propensos a ter DM (30,3%) do que aqueles sem dor (34,0 %, p não ajustado = 0,029), mas essa diferença não foi significativa após ajuste multivariado, para a população global (p = 0,84), e para o subgrupo de pacientes que se apresentaram dentro do período de 6 horas após o início dos sintomas (p = 0,51). Em contraste, a dor precordial era mais provável entre os pacientes com hiperglicemia (41,2% vs. 37,0% sem hiperglicemia, p = 0,035) na população total, e também entre aqueles que se apresentaram no período de 6 horas (41,6% vs. 32,3%, p = 0,001). Modelos ajustados mostraram uma associação independente entre hiperglicemia e dor na apresentação, especialmente entre os pacientes que se apresentaram no período de até 6 horas (OR = 1,41, p = 0,008). Conclusão: Nesta população não-selecionada com SCA, não houve correlação entre DM e a ...

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVOS: Avaliar a função diastólica (FD) de crianças e adolescentes diabéticos tipo 1 (DM1). SUJEITOS E MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal de 67 DM1, sem comorbidades, e grupo controle (n = 84) da mesma faixa etária. Analisaram-se: idade, sexo, índice de massa corpórea (IMC), Dopplere-cocardiografia e eletrocardiograma de ambos os grupos e, nos portadores de DM1, o tempo de doença, HbA1C, lipidograma e o valor da microalbuminúria. RESULTADOS: Encontraram-se alterações diastólicas [(A e E mitral, relação E/A, tempo de relaxamento isovolumétrico (TRIV) e tempo de desaceleração da onda E (TDE)] nos diabéticos, com maior prevalência nas meninas na faixa 13-17 anos. TRIV e TDE correlacionaram-se positivamente com o IMC (p = 0,028). Idade e tempo de doença foram fatores preditivos para a onda A mitral (p = 0,004 e 0,033, respectivamente). CONCLUSÕES: Alterações de FD foram detectadas nos DM1, com maior prevalência em meninas púberes. Tempo de doença e idade dos pacientes influenciaram parâmetros de FD.


OBJECTIVES: To evaluate diastolic function (DF) of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1). SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Cross-sectional study of 67 otherwise healthy diabetic patients, and a control group (n = 84) in regard to age, sex, body mass index (BMI), Dopplere-chocardiography, and ECG for both groups; and disease duration, HbA1C, microalbuminuria, and serum lipids for DM 1 patients. RESULTS: Diastolic alterations [(A and E mitral waves, E/A ratio, isovolumic relaxation time (IVRT) and E wave deceleration time (EWDT)] were found in diabetic patients, with higher prevalence among pubertal girls (13-17 years old). IVRT and EWDT correlated positively with BMI (p = 0.028). Chronological age and disease duration were predictive factors for mitral A wave (p = 0.004 and 0.033, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: DF alterations were detected in the group of diabetic patients, with greater prevalence among pubertal girls; disease duration and age influenced parameters of DF.

ABSTRACT

It has been well documented that there is an increased prevalence of standard cardiovascular (CV) risk factors in association with diabetes and with diabetes-related abnormalities. Hyperglycemia, in particular, also plays an important role. Heart failure (HF) has become a frequent manifestation of cardiovascular disease (CVD) among individuals with diabetes mellitus. Epidemiological studies suggest that the effect of hyperglycemia on HF risk is independent of other known risk factors. Analysis of datasets from populations including individuals with dysglycemia suggests the pathogenic role of hyperglycemia on left ventricular function and on the natural history of HF. Despite substantial epidemiological evidence of the relationship between diabetes and HF, data from available interventional trials assessing the effect of a glucose-lowering strategy on CV outcomes are limited. To provide some insight into these issues, we describe in this review the recent important data to understand the natural course of CV disease in diabetic individuals and the role of hyperglycemia at different times in the progression of HF.


Já foi bem documentado um aumento da prevalência dos fatores de risco cardiovascular convencional em portadores de diabetes melito e em pessoas com as anormalidades relacionadas ao diabetes. A hiperglicemia, particularmente, teria um papel crítico. A insuficiência cardíaca (IC) tem se tornado uma manifestação frequente da doença cardiovascular em indivíduos com diabetes. Estudos epidemiológicos sugerem que o efeito da hiperglicemia no risco para IC é independente dos outros fatores de risco. A análise dos dados de populações que incluem indivíduos com disglicemia sugere um papel patogênico da hiperglicemia na função do ventrículo esquerdo na história natural da IC. A despeito de evidências epidemiológicas na relação entre diabetes e IC, os dados disponíveis de estudos clínicos de intervenção para avaliar o efeito da estratégia de redução da glicose sobre os desfechos cardiovasculares ainda são limitados. Para trazer alguma compreensão nesse tópico, descrevemos nesta revisão os dados recentes e importantes para entender a história natural da doença cardiovascular em indivíduos com diabetes e o papel da hiperglicemia em diferentes períodos na progressão da doença.
