Long-term LVEF trajectories in patients with type 2 diabetes and heart failure: diabetic cardiomyopathy may underlie functional decline.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) trajectories and functional recovery with current heart failure (HF) management is increasingly recognized. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) leads to a worse prognosis in HF patients. However, it is unknown whether T2D interferes with LVEF trajectories. The aim of this study was to prospectively assess very long-term (up to 15 years) LVEF trajectories in patients with and without T2D and underlying HF. METHODS:Ambulatory patients admitted to a multidisciplinary HF clinic were prospectively evaluated by scheduled two-dimensional echocardiography at baseline, 1 year, and then every 2 years afterwards, up to 15 years. Statistical analyses of LVEF change with time were performed using the linear mixed effects (LME) models, and locally weighted error sum of squares (Loess) curves were plotted. RESULTS:Of the 1921 patients, 461 diabetic and 699 non-diabetic patients with LVEF?

Project description:BackgroundImpaired kidney function and albuminuria are associated with increased risk of heart failure (HF) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). We investigated whether rapid kidney function decline over time is an additional determinant of increased HF risk in patients with T2D, independent of baseline kidney function, albuminuria, and other HF predictors.MethodsIncluded in the study were 7,539 participants in the Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes (ACCORD) study with baseline urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) data, who had completed 4 years of follow-up and had ≥ 3 eGFR measurements during that period (median eGFR/year = 1.9, IQR 1.7-3.2). The association between rapid kidney function decline (eGFR loss ≥ 5 ml/min/1.73 m2/year) and odds of HF hospitalization or HF death during the first 4 years of follow-up was estimated by logistic regression. The improvement in risk discrimination provided by adding rapid kidney function decline to other HF risk factors was evaluated as the increment in the area under the Receiving Operating Characteristics curve (ROC AUC) and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI).ResultsOver 4 years of follow-up, 1,573 participants (20.9%) experienced rapid kidney function decline and 255 (3.4%) experienced a HF event. Rapid kidney function decline was associated with a ~ 3.2-fold increase in HF odds (3.23, 95% CI, 2.51-4.16, p < 0.0001), independent of baseline CVD history. This estimate was not attenuated by adjustment for potential confounders, including eGFR and UACR at baseline as well as at censoring (3.74; 95% CI 2.63-5.31). Adding rapid kidney function decline during follow-up to other clinical predictors (WATCH-DM score, eGFR, and UACR at study entry and end of follow-up) improved HF risk classification (ROC AUC = + 0.02, p = 0.027; relative IDI = + 38%, p < 0.0001).ConclusionsIn patients with T2D, rapid kidney function decline is associated with a marked increase in HF risk, independent of starting kidney function and/or albuminuria. These findings highlight the importance of serial eGFR measurements over time to improve HF risk estimation in T2D.

Project description:Background Mechanistic insights of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists remain incompletely identified, despite the efficacy in heart failure observed in clinical trials. Here, we evaluated the effects of dulaglutide on heart complications and illuminated its underlying mechanism. Methods and Results We used mice with high-fat diet (HFD)/streptozotocin-induced type 2 diabetes to investigate the effects of dulaglutide upon diabetic cardiac dysfunction. After the onset of diabetes, control and diabetic mice were injected subcutaneously with either dulaglutide (type 2 diabetes-dulaglutide and control-dulaglutide groups) or vehicle (type 2 diabetes-vehicle and control-vehicle groups) for 8 weeks. Subsequently, heart characteristics, cardiometabolic profile and mitochondrial morphology and function were evaluated. Also, we analyzed the effects of dulaglutide on neonatal rat ventricular myocytes treated with high glucose plus palmitic acid. In addition, wild type and AMP-activated protein kinase α2 mutant mice were used to evaluate the underlying mechanism. In type 2 diabetes mouse model, dulaglutide ameliorated insulin resistance, improved glucose tolerance, reduced hyperlipidemia, and promoted fatty acid use in the myocardium. Dulaglutide treatment functionally attenuated cardiac remodeling and dysfunction and promoted metabolic reprogramming in diabetic mice. Furthermore, dulaglutide improved mitochondria fragmentation in myocytes, and simultaneously reinstated mitochondrial morphology and function in diabetic hearts. We also found that dulaglutide preserved AMP-activated protein kinase α2-dependent mitochondrial homeostasis, and the protective effects of dulaglutide on diabetic heart was almost abated by AMP-activated protein kinase α2 knockout. Conclusions Dulaglutide prevents diabetic heart failure and favorably affects myocardial metabolic remodeling by impeding mitochondria fragmentation, and we suggest a potential strategy to develop a long-term activation of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor-based therapy to treat diabetes associated cardiovascular complications.

Project description:AimsThe relationship between diabetic microvascular complications and the incidence of two types of heart failure-heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) (left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF] < 40%) and non-HFrEF (LVEF ≥ 40%)-in patients without prior heart failure has not been clarified. We herein examined the association between diabetic microvascular complications and HFrEF or non-HFrEF in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) without prior heart failure.Methods and resultsIn this retrospective cohort study, we assessed the relationship between the presence of diabetic microvascular complications or severity of diabetic retinopathy (no apparent, non-proliferative and proliferative retinopathy) and nephropathy (normoalbuminuria, microalbuminuria, and macroalbuminuria) at baseline, with the primary outcome of first heart failure hospitalization classified as HFrEF or non-HFrEF in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus without prior heart failure. Among 568 patients (69.2% males, mean age 66.2 ± 9.6 years), 70 experienced heart failure hospitalization (HFrEF: 24 and non-HFrEF: 46). Non-HFrEF hospitalization but not HFrEF hospitalization was significantly associated with the presence of diabetic microvascular complications. The incidence of non-HFrEF hospitalization was significantly higher in the proliferative retinopathy group than that in the no apparent retinopathy group (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 2.96, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.09-6.83, P = 0.035) and in those with macroalbuminuria than in those with normoalbuminuria (adjusted HR 4.23, 95% CI: 2.24-7.85, P < 0.001) even after adjustment for age and sex. When non-HFrEF was classified into heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF) (40% ≤ LVEF < 50%) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) (50% ≤ LVEF), HFmrEF and HFpEF hospitalizations were also found to be associated with the progression of retinopathy and nephropathy.ConclusionsIn patients with T2DM without prior heart failure, non-HFrEF hospitalization was more closely associated with the progression of diabetic microangiopathy than HFrEF. The development of non-HFrEF may be mediated through a mechanism similar to that of microvascular complications in these patients.
