There is significant evidence that reactive oxygen species play an important role in endothelial dysfunction, ischemia/reperfusion injury as well as in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus (DM). It is also known that vitamins C and E have substantial antioxidant properties. However, clinical evidence concerning this topic is insufficient so far. The aim of the present study was to determine if the administration of vitamins C and E influences the outcome in diabetic patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
Among 800 patients with AMI included in the MIVIT (Myocardial Infarction and Vitamins) study, 122 patients (15%) had confirmed DM. A retrospective analysis of the influence of vitamins C and E on 30-day cardiac mortality in patients with or without DM was performed.
There was a significant reduction in 30-day cardiac mortality in diabetic patients treated with antioxidant vitamins C and E [5 (8%) vs. 14 (22%); OR 0.32, 95% CI 0.11-0.93; p = 0.036]. Such an effect has not been observed in patients without DM [19 (6%) vs. 19 (6%); OR 0.97, 95% CI 0.51-1.85; p = 0.94].
The results suggest that early administration of antioxidant vitamins C and E in patients with AMI and concomitant DM reduces cardiac mortality.
有大量证据表明活性氧在血管内皮功能障碍、缺血/再灌注损伤以及糖尿病(DM)发病机制中起重要作用。还已知维生素C和E具有显著的抗氧化特性。然而,迄今为止关于该主题的临床证据尚不充分。本研究的目的是确定给予维生素C和E是否会影响急性心肌梗死(AMI)糖尿病患者的预后。
在纳入心肌梗死与维生素(MIVIT)研究的800例AMI患者中,122例(15%)确诊为DM。对维生素C和E对有或无DM患者30天心脏死亡率的影响进行回顾性分析。
接受抗氧化维生素C和E治疗的糖尿病患者30天心脏死亡率显著降低[5例(8%)对14例(22%);比值比0.32,95%可信区间0.11 - 0.93;p = 0.036]。在无DM患者中未观察到这种效果[19例(6%)对19例(6%);比值比0.97,95%可信区间0.51 - 1.85;p = 0.94]。
结果表明,对AMI合并DM患者早期给予抗氧化维生素C和E可降低心脏死亡率。
