A decrease in glucose variability does not reduce cardiovascular event rates in type 2 diabetic patients after acute myocardial infarction: a reanalysis of the HEART2D study.

ABSTRACT: To assess the effect of intraday glucose variability (GV) on cardiovascular outcomes in a reanalysis of Hyperglycemia and Its Effect After Acute Myocardial Infarction on Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (HEART2D) study data.Type 2 diabetic patients after acute myocardial infarction were randomized to an insulin treatment strategy targeting postprandial (PRANDIAL; n = 557) or fasting/interprandial (BASAL; n = 558) hyperglycemia. GV was calculated as mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE), mean absolute glucose (MAG) change, and SD.The PRANDIAL strategy resulted in an 18% lower MAG than BASAL (mean [SEM] difference 0.09 [0.04] mmol/L/h, P = 0.02). In addition, MAGE and SD were lower in the PRANDIAL group, however, not significantly. HbA(1c) levels and cardiovascular event rates were comparable between groups.A PRANDIAL strategy demonstrated lower intraday GV vs. a BASAL strategy with similar overall glycemic control but did not result in a reduction in cardiovascular outcomes. This does not support the hypothesis that targeting GV would be beneficial in reducing subsequent secondary cardiovascular events.

Project description:BackgroundStress-induced hyperglycaemia at time of hospital admission has been linked to worse prognosis following acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In addition to glucose, other glucose-related indices, such as HbA1c, glucose-HbA1c ratio (GHR), and stress-hyperglycaemia ratio (SHR) are potential predictors of clinical outcomes following AMI. However, the optimal blood glucose, HbA1c, GHR, and SHR cut-off values for predicting adverse outcomes post-AMI are unknown. As such, we determined the optimal blood glucose, HbA1c, GHR, and SHR cut-off values for predicting 1-year all cause mortality in diabetic and non-diabetic ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) patients.MethodsWe undertook a national, registry-based study of patients with AMI from January 2008 to December 2015. We determined the optimal blood glucose, HbA1c, GHR, and SHR cut-off values using the Youden's formula for 1-year all-cause mortality. We subsequently analyzed the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of the cut-off values in the diabetic and non-diabetic subgroups, stratified by the type of AMI.ResultsThere were 5841 STEMI and 4105 NSTEMI in the study. In STEMI patients, glucose, GHR, and SHR were independent predictors of 1-year all-cause mortality [glucose: OR 2.19 (95% CI 1.74-2.76); GHR: OR 2.28 (95% CI 1.80-2.89); SHR: OR 2.20 (95% CI 1.73-2.79)]. However, in NSTEMI patients, glucose and HbA1c were independently associated with 1-year all-cause mortality [glucose: OR 1.38 (95% CI 1.01-1.90); HbA1c: OR 2.11 (95% CI 1.15-3.88)]. In diabetic STEMI patients, SHR performed the best in terms of area-under-the-curve (AUC) analysis (glucose: AUC 63.3%, 95% CI 59.5-67.2; GHR 68.8% 95% CI 64.8-72.8; SHR: AUC 69.3%, 95% CI 65.4-73.2). However, in non-diabetic STEMI patients, glucose, GHR, and SHR performed equally well (glucose: AUC 72.0%, 95% CI 67.7-76.3; GHR 71.9% 95% CI 67.7-76.2; SHR: AUC 71.7%, 95% CI 67.4-76.0). In NSTEMI patients, glucose performed better than HbA1c for both diabetic and non-diabetic patients in AUC analysis (For diabetic, glucose: AUC 52.8%, 95% CI 48.1-57.6; HbA1c: AUC 42.5%, 95% CI 37.6-47. For non-diabetic, glucose: AUC 62.0%, 95% CI 54.1-70.0; HbA1c: AUC 51.1%, 95% CI 43.3-58.9). The optimal cut-off values for glucose, GHR, and SHR in STEMI patients were 15.0 mmol/L, 2.11, and 1.68 for diabetic and 10.6 mmol/L, 1.72, and 1.51 for non-diabetic patients respectively. For NSTEMI patients, the optimal glucose values were 10.7 mmol/L for diabetic and 8.1 mmol/L for non-diabetic patients.ConclusionsSHR was the most consistent independent predictor of 1-year all-cause mortality in both diabetic and non-diabetic STEMI, whereas glucose was the best predictor in NSTEMI patients.

Project description:ImportancePersistently depressed left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) after myocardial infarction (MI) is associated with adverse prognosis and directs the use of evidence-based treatments to prevent sudden cardiac death and/or progressive heart failure.ObjectiveTo assess adherence with guideline-recommended LVEF reassessment and to study the evolution of LVEF over 6 months of follow-up.Design, setting, and participantsThis was a multicenter cohort study at Canadian academic and community hospitals with on-site cardiac catheterization services. Patients with type 1 acute MI and LVEF less than or equal to 45% during the index hospitalization were enrolled between January 2018 and August 2019 and were followed-up for 6 months. Data analysis was performed from May 2020 to September 2021.ExposuresBaseline clinical factors, in-hospital care and LVEF, and site-specific features.Main outcomes and measuresThe main outcomes were receipt of repeat LVEF assessment by 6 months and the presence of a persistent LVEF reduction at 2 thresholds: LVEF less than or equal to 40%, prompting consideration of additional medical therapy for heart failure, or LVEF less than or equal to 35%, prompting referral for implanted cardioverter defibrillator in addition to medical therapy.ResultsThis study included 501 patients (mean [SD] age, 63.3 [13.0] years; 113 women [22.6%]). Overall, 370 patients (73.4%) presented with STEMI, and 454 (90.6%) had in-hospital revascularization. The median (IQR) baseline LVEF was 40% (34%-43%). Of 458 patients (91.4%) who completed the 6-month follow-up, 303 (66.2%; 95% CI, 61.7%-70.5%) had LVEF reassessment, with a range of 46.7% to 90.0% across sites (χ213 = 19.6; P = .11). Participants from community hospitals were more likely than those from academic hospitals to undergo LVEF reassessment (73.6% vs 63.2%; χ21 = 4.50; P = .03), as were those with worse LVEF at baseline. Follow-up LVEF improved by an absolute median (IQR) of 8% (3%-15%). However, 103 patients (34.1%) met the definitions of clinically relevant LVEF reduction, including 52 patients (17.2%) with LVEF less than or equal to 35% and 51 patients (16.9%) with LVEF of 35.1% to 40.0%.Conclusions and relevanceIn this cohort study, approximately 1 in 3 patients with at least mild LVEF reduction after acute MI did not undergo indicated LVEF reassessment within 6 months, suggesting that programs to improve the quality of post-MI care should include measures to ensure that indicated repeat cardiac imaging is performed. In those with follow-up imaging, clinically relevant persistent LVEF reduction was identified in more than one-third of patients.

Project description:BackgroundWe describe the clinical characteristics, treatments and in-hospital case-fatality rates in an unselected population of patients admitted for acute myocardial infarction.MethodsFrom January 2000 to June 2007, we tracked consecutive patients who were admitted to 7 tertiary referral and 21 county hospitals in Romania for medical treatment of ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction. These patients were enrolled in the Romanian Registry for ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction. For this prospective study, we collected data on demographic characteristics, cardiovascular risk factors, various aspects of treatment for myocardial infarction, and in-hospital death.ResultsThe 9186 patients in the study group had a mean age of 63.8 years. The median time from onset of symptoms to thrombolysis was 230 (interquartile range 120-510) minutes. Of the 9186 patients, 4986 (54.3%) had hypertension, 1974 (21.5%) had diabetes mellitus, 3545 (38.6%) had lipid disorders and 4653 (50.7%) were smokers. The in-hospital mortality rate was 12.7% (1170 deaths). The study group consisted of 2893 women and 6293 men. The women were older than the men and had higher rates of hypertension and diabetes mellitus but were less likely to be smokers. A smaller proportion of women than men presented within 2 hours after onset of symptoms (23.1% v. 34.4%, p < 0.001). Smaller proportions of women received thrombolytics (40.8% v. 53.5%, p < 0.001), anticoagulants (93.4% v. 95.2%; p = 0.001), antiplatelet agents (88.3% v. 91.2%, p < 0.001) and primary percutaneous coronary interventions (1.5% v. 2.2%, p = 0.030). The risk of in-hospital death was greater for women, even after adjustment for confounders (odds ratio 1.33, 95% confidence interval 1.13-1.56; p < 0.001).InterpretationThe rates of reperfusion therapy for patients with acute myocardial infarction were low, and in-hospital case-fatality rates were high in this study. Excess in-hospital mortality was more pronounced among women.
