Evolution of target organ damage and haemodynamic parameters over 4 years in patients with increased insulin resistance: the LOD-DIABETES prospective observational study.

ABSTRACT: We prospectively examined the impact of type 2 diabetes compared with metabolic syndrome (MetS) on the development of vascular disease over 4 years as determined by anatomic and functional markers of vascular disease. By comparing the vascular outcomes of the 2 disorders, we seek to determine the independent effect of elevated glucose levels on vascular disease.2 primary care centres in Salamanca, Spain.We performed a prospective observational study involving 112 patients (68 with type 2 diabetes and 44 with MetS) who were followed for 4 years.Measurements included blood pressure, blood glucose, lipids, smoking, body mass index, waist circumference, Homeostasis Model Assessment Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR), hs-c-reactive protein and fibrinogen levels. We also evaluated vascular, carotid intima media thickness (IMT), pulse wave velocity (PWV) and ankle/brachial index, heart and renal target organ damage (TOD). The haemodynamic parameters were central (CAIx) and peripheral (PAIx) augmentation indices.In year 4, participants with type 2 diabetes had increased IMT thickness. These patients had more plaques and an IMT>0.90 mm. In participants with MetS, we only found an increase in the number of plaques. We found no changes in PWV, CAIx and PAIx. The patients with diabetes had a greater frequency of vascular TOD. There were no differences neither in renal nor cardiac percentage of TOD in the patients with MetS or diabetes mellitus type 2.This prospective study showed that the evolution of vascular TOD is different in participants with type 2 diabetes compared with those with MetS. While IMT and PWV increased in type 2 diabetes, these were not modified in MetS. The renal and cardiac TOD evolution, as well as the PAIx and CAIx, did not change in either group.NCT01065155; Results.

Project description:ObjectivesRobotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) is typically conducted in steep Trendelenburg position (STP). This study investigated the influence of permanent 45° STP and capnoperitoneum on haemodynamic parameters during and after RALP.DesignProspective observational study.SettingHaemodynamic changes were recorded with transpulmonary thermodilution and pulse contour analysis in men undergoing RALP under standardised anaesthesia.ParticipantsInformed consent was obtained from 51 patients scheduled for elective RALP in a University Medical Centre in Germany.InterventionsHeart rate, mean arterial pressure, central venous pressure (CVP), Cardiac Index (CI), systemic vascular resistance (SVR), Global End-Diastolic Volume Index (GEDI), global ejection fraction (GEF), Cardiac Power Index (CPI) and stroke volume variation (SVV) were recorded at six time points: 20 min after induction of anaesthesia (T1), after insufflation of capnoperitoneum in supine position (T2), after 30 min in STP (T3), when controlling Santorini's plexus in STP (T4), before awakening in supine position (T5) and after 45 min in the recovery room (T6). Adverse cardiac events were registered intraoperatively and postoperatively.ResultsAll haemodynamic parameters were significantly changed by capnoperitoneum and STP during RALP and partly normalised at T6. CI, GEF and CPI were highest at T6 (CI: 3.9 vs 2.2 L/min/m²; GEF: 26 vs 22%; CPI: 0.80 vs 0.39 W/m²; p<0.001). CVP was highest at T4 (31 vs 7 mm Hg, p<0.001) and GEDI at T6 (819 vs 724 mL/m², p=0.005). Mean SVR initially increased (T2) but had decreased by 24% at T6 (p<0.001). SVV was highest at T5 (12 vs 9%, p<0.001). Two of the patients developed cardiac arrhythmia during RALP and one patient suffered postoperative cardiac ischaemia.ConclusionsRALP led to pronounced perioperative haemodynamic changes. The combination of increased cardiac contractility and heart rate reflects a hyperdynamic situation during and after RALP. Anaesthesiologists should be aware of unnoticed pre-existing heart failure to worsen during STP in patients undergoing RALP.

Project description:BackgroundDiabetic patients show an increased prevalence of non-dipping arterial pressure pattern, target organ damage and elevated arterial stiffness. These alterations are associated with increased cardiovascular risk.The objectives of this study are the following: to evaluate the prognostic value of central arterial pressure and pulse wave velocity in relation to the incidence and outcome of target organ damage and the appearance of cardiovascular episodes (cardiovascular mortality, myocardial infarction, chest pain and stroke) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus or metabolic syndrome.Methods/designDesignThis is an observational prospective study with 5 years duration, of which the first year corresponds to patient inclusion and initial evaluation, and the remaining four years to follow-up.SettingThe study will be carried out in the urban primary care setting.Study populationConsecutive sampling will be used to include patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes between 20-80 years of age. A total of 110 patients meeting all the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will be included.MeasurementsPatient age and sex, family and personal history of cardiovascular disease, and cardiovascular risk factors. Height, weight, heart rate and abdominal circumference. Laboratory tests: hemoglobin, lipid profile, creatinine, microalbuminuria, glomerular filtration rate, blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, blood insulin, fibrinogen and high sensitivity C-reactive protein. Clinical and 24-hour ambulatory (home) blood pressure monitoring and self-measured blood pressure. Common carotid artery ultrasound for the determination of mean carotid intima-media thickness. Electrocardiogram for assessing left ventricular hypertrophy. Ankle-brachial index. Retinal vascular study based on funduscopy with non-mydriatic retinography and evaluation of pulse wave morphology and pulse wave velocity using the SphygmoCor system. The medication used for diabetes, arterial hypertension and hyperlipidemia will be registered, together with antiplatelet drugs.DiscussionThe results of this study will help to know and quantify the prognostic value of central arterial pressure and pulse wave velocity in relation to the evolution of the subclinical target organ damage markers and the possible incidence of cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Project description:IntroductionThe relationship between thyroid function/homeostasis parameters and renal function has been extensively studied. However, the relationship between thyroid function and thyroid homeostasis parameters with albuminuria among elderly individuals remains unclear.MethodsThe population was divided into an albuminuria group and a non-albuminuria group for baseline characteristic difference analysis. Multivariable logistic regression was used to test the association between thyroid function, and thyroid homeostasis parameters and albuminuria. The nonlinear relationship was explored with restricted cubic splines. Meanwhile, we investigated whether the relationship also existed in the diabetes and hypertension subgroups. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to assess the effectiveness of the indices.ResultsFT4 and TFQIFT4 were positively correlated with albuminuria (OR = 1.12; 95% CI = 1.02-1.23, p = 0.02; OR = 1.79; 95% CI = 1.08-2.99, p = 0.03), and FT3/FT4 was negatively correlated with albuminuria (OR = 0.03; 95% CI = 0.00-0.26, p = 0.003). Additionally, the nonlinear relationship between FT3/FT4 as well as TSHI and albuminuria was approximately U-shaped. Similar results were observed in the hypertension subgroup but not in the diabetes subgroup. There was a U-shaped nonlinear relationship between FT3 and albuminuria in the diabetes group. In addition, FT3/FT4 performed better than TFQI, TT4RI, and TSHI in ROC analyses for albuminuria prediction.ConclusionFT4, TFQIFT4, and a low FT3/FT4 ratio were risk factors for albuminuria in euthyroid individuals over 60 years old. However, FT3 was more associated with albuminuria in the diabetes subgroup. TSH was not associated with albuminuria in any analysis. In our study, we attempted to provide more reasonable thyroid parameters and basis for evaluating patients with underlying albuminuria. FT3/FT4 may be used as a helpful indicator to predict albuminuria and provide novel ideas for the evaluation and treatment of albuminuria.
