Two-hour post-challenge hyperglycemia, but not fasting plasma glucose, associated with severity of coronary artery disease in patients with angina.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Postprandial hyperglycemia plays a pivotal role in cardiovascular disease. However, few studies have investigated associations between the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) and postprandial glucose levels in angina patients without known diabetes before coronary angiography.

Methods

Subjects who were admitted for coronary angiography due to angina and were in stable condition after discharge were recruited. A standard 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed at outpatient visits approximately 2-4 weeks after hospital discharge, and fasting and post-challenge blood glucose were measured. Twenty-six volunteers in our hospital staff served as the healthy group. CAD severity was graded using the SYNTAX and Jeopardy scoring systems.

Results

The subjects in the angina group had a higher body mass index, higher fasting glucose, and higher 2-h postprandial glucose than those in the healthy group. The SYNTAX and Jeopardy scores were significantly associated with 2-h postprandial blood glucose (correlation coefficients = 0.164 and 0.187, respectively) but not with fasting glucose. Linear regression analyses revealed that SYNTAX and Jeopardy scores were independently associated with glucose levels at 120 min after OGTT (SYNTAX 95%CI = 0.003-0.103; Jeopardy score 0.002-0.027) but not with fasting glucose.

Conclusion

CAD severity is associated with blood glucose levels after oral glucose challenge in patients without known diabetes before coronary angiography, suggesting that CAD patients should be routinely screened for post-challenge blood glucose.

Project description:BackgroundElevated fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and 2-hour post-challenge glucose (2hPG) levels are known to be independent risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, there is limited data on the association of the difference between these measures and the risk of CVD. This study aims to investigate this association in normoglycemic Iranian adults, particularly in those with low-normal FPG levels.MethodsThis prospective cohort study included 4,594 30-65-year-old participants from the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study. Using multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, smoking, education level and FPG, hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated for the association between 2hPG-FPG, both as continuous and categorical variables, and the CVD risk. Analyses of receiver operating characteristic curves were undertaken to determine the optimal 2hPG-FPG cut-off value.ResultsDuring a median of 17.9 years of follow-up, 459 CVD events occurred. A one-unit increase in 2hPG-FPG was significantly associated with an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease in both normoglycemic (HR 1.10, 95% CI (1.01-1.19)) and low-normal FPG individuals (HR 1.16, 95% CI (1.04-1.30)); this association resisted adjustment for Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) among normoglycemic individuals. However, those with 2hPG levels greater than FPG levels had a non-significant increased risk of incident CVD compared to those with 2hPG levels of less than or equal to FPG, with corresponding HR values of 1.18 (95% CI: 0.95-1.46) in normoglycemic and 1.32 (95% CI: 0.98-1.79) in low-normal FPG, respectively. For incident CVD, the optimal cut-off value for the 2hPG-FPG was found to be 1.06 mmol/L, which was applicable for both normoglycemic and low FPG populations; using this criterion, the corresponding risks for incident CVD were 1.36 (95% CI: 1.12-1.64) and 1.57 (95% CI: 1.22-2.03), respectively.ConclusionsThe difference between 2hPG and FPG levels within the normoglycemic range is related to an increased risk of CVD, an issue that was independent of HOMA-IR. A cut-off point for 2hPG-FPG > 1.06 mmol/L may stratify persons at higher risk. These findings were particularly notable in those with low-normal FPG.

Project description:ImportancePhysiological stenosis assessment is recommended to guide percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with stable angina.ObjectiveTo determine the association between all commonly used indices of physiological stenosis severity and angina-limited exercise time in patients with stable angina.Design, setting, and participantsThis cohort study included data (without follow-up) collected over 1 year from 2 cardiac hospitals. Selected patients with stable angina and physiologically severe single-vessel coronary artery disease presenting for clinically driven elective PCI were included.ExposuresFractional flow reserve (FFR), instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR), hyperemic stenosis resistance (HSR), and coronary flow reserve (CFR) were measured invasively. Immediately after this, patients maximally exercised on a catheter-table-mounted supine ergometer until they developed rate-limiting angina. Subsequent PCI was performed in most patients, followed by repeat maximal supine exercise testing.Main outcomes and measuresAssociations between FFR, iFR, HSR, CFR, and angina-limited exercise time were assessed using linear regression and Pearson correlation coefficients. Additionally, the associations between the post-PCI increment in exercise time and baseline FFR, iFR, HSR, and CFR were assessed.ResultsTwenty-three patients (21 [91.3%] of whom were male; mean [SD] age, 60.6 [8.1] years) completed the pre-PCI component of the study protocol. Mean (SD) stenosis diameter was 74.6% (10.4%). Median (interquartile range [IQR]) values were 0.54 (0.44-0.72) for FFR, 0.53 (0.38-0.83) for iFR, 1.67 (0.84-3.16) for HSR, and 1.35 (1.11-1.63) for CFR. Mean (SD) angina-limited exercise time was 144 (77) seconds. Anatomical stenosis characteristics were not significantly associated with angina-limited exercise time. Conversely, FFR (R2 = 0.27; P = .01), iFR (R2 = 0.46; P < .001), HSR (R2 = 0.39; P < .01), and CFR (R2 = 0.16; P < .05) were all associated with angina-limited exercise time. Twenty-one patients (19 [90.5%] of whom were male; mean [SD] age, 60.1 [8.2] years) competed the full protocol of PCI, post-PCI physiological assessment, and post-PCI maximal exercise. After PCI, the median (IQR) FFR rose to 0.91 (0.85-0.96), median (IQR) iFR to 0.98 (0.94-0.99), and median (IQR) CFR to 2.73 (2.50-3.12), while the median (IQR) HSR fell to 0.16 (0.06-0.37) (P < .001 for all). The post-PCI increment in exercise time was most significantly associated with baseline iFR (R2 = 0.26; P = .02).Conclusions and relevanceIn a selected group of patients with severe, single-vessel stable angina, FFR, iFR, HSR, and CFR were all modestly correlated with angina-limited exercise time to varying degrees. Notwithstanding the limited sample size, no clear association was demonstrated between anatomical stenosis severity and angina-limited exercise time.

Project description:ObjectiveTo estimate the relationship between 1-hour 50 g glucose challenge test values and perinatal outcomes.MethodsThis was a secondary analysis of data from a multicenter treatment trial of mild gestational diabetes mellitus. Women with glucose challenge test values of 135-199 mg/dL completed a 3-hour oral glucose tolerance test. Mild gestational diabetes mellitus was defined as fasting glucose less than 95 mg/dL and two or more abnormal oral glucose tolerance test values: 1-hour 180 mg/dL or more; 2-hour 155 mg/dL or more; and 3-hour 140 mg/dL or more. Our study included untreated women with glucose challenge test values of 135-139 mg/dL and 140-199 mg/dL and a comparison group with values less than 120 mg/dL. Primary outcomes included a perinatal composite (stillbirth, neonatal death, hypoglycemia, hyperbilirubinemia, neonatal hyperinsulinemia, and birth trauma), large for gestational age (LGA, birth weight above the 90 percentile based on sex-specific and race-specific norms), and macrosomia (greater than 4,000 g).ResultsThere were 436 women with glucose challenge test values less than 120 mg/dL and 1,403 with values of 135 mg/dL or more (135-139, n=135; 140-199, n=1,268). The composite perinatal outcome occurred in 25.6% of those with glucose challenge test values less than 120 mg/dL compared with 21.1% for values of 135-139 mg/dL and 35.3% for values of 140-199 mg/dL. Rates of LGA by group were 6.6%, 6.8%, and 12.4%, respectively. Rates of macrosomia by group were 7.8%, 6.1%, and 12.1%, respectively. Compared with glucose challenge test values less than 120 mg/dL, the adjusted odds ratios (ORs) (95% confidence intervals [CIs]) for values of 140-199 mg/dL were 1.48 (1.14-1.93) for the composite outcome, 1.97 (1.29-3.11) for LGA, and 1.61 (1.07-2.49) for macrosomia. For glucose challenge test values of 135-139 mg/dL, adjusted ORs and 95% CIs were 0.75 (0.45-1.21), 1.04 (0.44-2.24), and 0.75 (0.30-1.66), respectively. The subcategories with glucose challenge test values of 140-144 mg/dL and 145-149 mg/dL also were associated with an increase in selected outcomes when compared with those with values less than 120 mg/dL.ConclusionsGlucose challenge test values of 135-139 mg/dL were not associated with adverse outcomes compared with values less than 120 mg/dL; however, glucose challenge test values of 140 mg/dL or more were associated with an increase in odds of the composite perinatal outcome, LGA, and macrosomia.

Project description:BackgroundThe triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is validated as a reliable biomarker of insulin resistance and an independent predictor of cardiovascular prognosis. However, the prognostic value of the TyG index in patients on dialysis with coronary artery disease (CAD) remained unexplored. This study aimed to determine the association between the TyG index and CAD severity and mortality in these patients.MethodsA total of 1061 dialysis patients with CAD were enrolled in this multi-center cohort study from January 2015 to June 2021. The extent and severity of CAD were evaluated using the multivessel disease and Gensini score (GS). Patients were followed up for all-cause death and cardiovascular death.ResultsThe multivariable logistic regression model indicated that the TyG index was significantly associated with multivessel disease (odds ratio [OR] 1.51, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.18-1.94, P = 0.001), and high GS (OR 1.33, 95% CI 1.10-1.61, P = 0.003). After adjusting for baseline risk factors, the hazards of all-cause death and cardiovascular death were 1.23 (95% CI 1.06-1.43, P = 0.007), and 1.33 (95% CI 1.11-1.59, P = 0.002), independent of CAD severity. Restricted cubic spline analysis identified a dose-response association between the TyG index and both CAD severity and mortality (all P for nonlinearity > 0.05). When modeling the TyG index as a categorical variable, these independent associations remained. Subgroup analyses did not substantially modify the results. Furthermore, incorporating the TyG index into the existing risk prediction model improved the predictive accuracy for all-cause death and cardiovascular death, as evaluated by C-statistic, continuous net reclassification improvement, and integrated discrimination improvement.ConclusionsIn patients on dialysis with CAD, the TyG index was significantly associated with more severe CAD as well as mortality. These results highlight the clinical importance of the TyG index for assessing CAD severity and risk stratification in patients on dialysis with CAD.

Project description:ImportanceAngina pectoris is associated with morbidity and mortality. Angina prevalence and frequency among contemporary US populations with coronary artery disease (CAD) remain incompletely defined.ObjectiveTo ascertain the angina prevalence and frequency among stable outpatients with CAD.Design, setting, and participantsThis cross-sectional survey study involved telephone-based administration of the Seattle Angina Questionnaire-7 (SAQ-7) between February 1, 2017, and July 31, 2017, to a nonconvenience sample of adults with established CAD who receive primary care through a large US integrated primary care network. Data analysis was performed from August 2017 to August 2019.ExposureSAQ-7 administration.Main outcomes and measuresAngina prevalence and frequency were assessed using SAQ-7 question 2. Covariates associated with angina were assessed in univariable and multivariable regression.ResultsOf 4139 eligible patients, 1612 responded to the survey (response rate, 38.9%). The mean (SD) age of the respondents was 71.8 (11.0) years, 577 (35.8%) were women, 1447 (89.8%) spoke English, 147 (9.1%) spoke Spanish, 1336 (82.8%) were White, 76 (4.7%) were Black, 92 (5.7%) were Hispanic, 974 (60.4%) had Medicare, and 83 (5.2%) had Medicaid. Among respondents, 342 (21.2%) reported experiencing angina at least once monthly; among those, 201 (12.5%) reported daily or weekly angina, and 141 respondents (8.7%) reported monthly angina. The mean (SD) SAQ-7 score was 93.7 (13.7). After multivariable adjustment, speaking a language other than Spanish or English (odds ratio [OR], 5.07; 95% CI, 1.39-18.50), Black race (OR, 2.01; 95% CI, 1.08-3.75), current smoking (OR, 1.88; 95% CI, 1.27-2.78), former smoking (OR, 1.69; 95% CI, 1.13-2.51), atrial fibrillation (OR, 1.52; 95% CI, 1.02-2.26), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (OR, 1.61; 95% CI, 1.18-2.18) were associated with more frequent angina. Male sex (OR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.47-0.86), peripheral artery disease (OR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.44-0.90), and novel oral anticoagulant use (OR, 0.19; 95% CI, 0.08-0.48) were associated with less frequent angina.Conclusions and relevanceAmong stable outpatients with CAD receiving primary care through an integrated primary care network, 21.2% of surveyed patients reported experiencing angina at least once monthly. Several objective demographic and clinical characteristics were associated with angina frequency. Proactive assessment of angina symptoms using validated assessment tools and estimation of patients at higher risk of suboptimally controlled angina may be associated with reduced morbidity.
