This study prospectively evaluated the relationship between cardiovascular risk factors, selected biomarkers (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein [hs-CRP], interleukin [IL]-6, and osteoprotegerin [OPG]), and the progression of coronary artery calcification (CAC) in type 2 diabetic subjects.
Coronary artery calcification is pathognomonic of coronary atherosclerosis. Osteoprotegerin is a signaling molecule involved in bone remodeling that has been implicated in the regulation of vascular calcification and atherogenesis.
Three hundred ninety-eight type 2 diabetic subjects without prior coronary disease or symptoms (age 52 +/- 8 years, 61% male, glycated hemoglobin [HbA(1)c] 8 +/- 1.5) were evaluated serially by CAC imaging (mean follow-up 2.5 +/- 0.4 years). Progression/regression of CAC was defined as a change > or =2.5 between the square root transformed values of baseline and follow-up volumetric CAC scores. Demographic data, risk factors, glycemic control, medication use, serum hs-CRP, IL-6, and plasma OPG levels were measured at baseline and follow-up.
Two hundred eleven patients (53%) had CAC at baseline. One hundred eighteen patients (29.6%) had CAC progression, whereas 3 patients (0.8%) had regression. Age, male gender, hypertension, baseline CAC, HbA(1)c >7, waist-hip ratio, IL-6, OPG, use of beta-blockers, calcium channel antagonists, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, statins, and Framingham/UKPDS (United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study) risk scores were univariable predictors of CAC progression. In the multivariate model, baseline CAC (odds ratio [OR] for CAC >400 = 6.38, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.63 to 15.5, p < 0.001), HbA(1)c >7 (OR 1.95, CI 1.08 to 3.52, p = 0.03), and statin use (OR 2.27, CI 1.38 to 3.73, p = 0.001) were independent predictors of CAC progression.
Baseline CAC severity and suboptimal glycemic control are strong risk factors for CAC progression in type 2 diabetic subjects.
本研究前瞻性评估了2型糖尿病患者心血管危险因素、选定的生物标志物(高敏C反应蛋白[hs-CRP]、白细胞介素[IL]-6和骨保护素[OPG])与冠状动脉钙化(CAC)进展之间的关系。
冠状动脉钙化是冠状动脉粥样硬化的特征性表现。骨保护素是一种参与骨重塑的信号分子,已被认为与血管钙化和动脉粥样硬化的调节有关。
对398例无既往冠心病或症状的2型糖尿病患者(年龄52±8岁,男性占61%,糖化血红蛋白[HbA(1)c] 8±1.5)进行连续的CAC成像评估(平均随访2.5±0.4年)。CAC的进展/消退定义为基线和随访时体积性CAC评分的平方根转换值之间的变化≥2.5。在基线和随访时测量人口统计学数据、危险因素、血糖控制、药物使用、血清hs-CRP、IL-6和血浆OPG水平。
211例患者(53%)基线时有CAC。118例患者(29.6%)有CAC进展,而3例患者(0.8%)有消退。年龄、男性、高血压、基线CAC、HbA(1)c>7、腰臀比、IL-6、OPG、使用β受体阻滞剂、钙通道拮抗剂、血管紧张素转换酶(ACE)抑制剂、他汀类药物以及弗雷明汉/英国前瞻性糖尿病研究(UKPDS)风险评分是CAC进展的单变量预测因素。在多变量模型中,基线CAC(CAC>400的比值比[OR]=6.38,95%置信区间[CI] 2.63至15.5,p<0.001)、HbA(1)c>7(OR 1.95,CI 1.08至3.52,p=0.03)和他汀类药物使用(OR 2.27,CI 1.38至3.73,p=0.001)是CAC进展的独立预测因素。
基线CAC严重程度和血糖控制不佳是2型糖尿病患者CAC进展的强危险因素。
