Cardiovascular Disease and Type 2 Diabetes: Has the Dawn of a New Era Arrived?

Hyperglycemia is the major risk factor for microvascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the principal cause of death, and lowering HbA1c has only a modest effect on reducing CVD risk and mortality. The recently published LEADER and SUSTAIN-6 trials demonstrate that, in T2D patients with high CVD risk, the glucagon-like peptide 1 re...

In the article cited above, there are typographical errors in Table 3 with regard to the values for hospitalization for heart failure results. The results should state an incidence of 2.7% (126/4,687) with empagliflozin and 4.1% (95/2,333) with placebo, and the corresponding incidence rates should be 9.4/1,000 patient-years and 14.5/1,000 patient-years, respectively. The HR of 0.65 (95% CI 0.50...

EVALUATION OF METABOLIC PROFILE OF PLASMA AMINO ACIDS IN DIABETIC PATIENTS WITH CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES

Background: Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common endocrine diseases. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes of death in patients with type 2 diabetes. The aim of this study was to investigate the metabolic profile of plasma amino acids in diabetic patients with cardiovascular disease. Methods: The present study is a descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study on 140 ...
