- Type 2 diabetes mellitus and myocardial ischemic preconditioning in symptomatic coronary artery disease patients(2015) REZENDE, Paulo Cury; RAHMI, Rosa Maria; UCHIDA, Augusto Hiroshi; COSTA, Leandro Menezes Alves da; SCUDELER, Thiago Luis; GARZILLO, Cibele Larrosa; LIMA, Eduardo Gomes; SEGRE, Carlos Alexandre Wainrober; GIRARDI, Priscyla; TAKIUTI, Myrthes; SILVA, Marcela Francisca; HUEB, Whady; RAMIRES, Jose Antonio Franchini; FILHO, Roberto KalilBackground: The influence of diabetes mellitus on myocardial ischemic preconditioning is not clearly defined. Experimental studies are conflicting and human studies are scarce and inconclusive. Objectives: Identify whether diabetes mellitus intervenes on ischemic preconditioning in symptomatic coronary artery disease patients. Methods: Symptomatic multivessel coronary artery disease patients with preserved systolic ventricular function and a positive exercise test underwent two sequential exercise tests to demonstrate ischemic preconditioning. Ischemic parameters were compared among patients with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus. Ischemic preconditioning was considered present when the time to 1.0 mm ST deviation and rate pressure-product were greater in the second of 2 exercise tests. Sequential exercise tests were analyzed by 2 independent cardiologists. Results: Of the 2,140 consecutive coronary artery disease patients screened, 361 met inclusion criteria, and 174 patients (64.2 +/- 7.6 years) completed the study protocol. Of these, 86 had the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. Among diabetic patients, 62 (72%) manifested an improvement in ischemic parameters consistent with ischemic preconditioning, whereas among nondiabetic patients, 60 (68%) manifested ischemic preconditioning (p = 0.62). The analysis of patients who demonstrated ischemic preconditioning showed similar improvement in the time to 1.0 mm ST deviation between diabetic and nondiabetic groups (79.4 +/- 47.6 vs 65.5 +/- 36.4 s, respectively, p = 0.12). Regarding rate pressure-product, the improvement was greater in diabetic compared to nondiabetic patients (3011 +/- 2430 vs 2081 +/- 2139 bpm x mmHg, respectively, p = 0.01). Conclusions: In this study, diabetes mellitus was not associated with impairment in ischemic preconditioning in symptomatic coronary artery disease patients. Furthermore, diabetic patients experienced an improvement in this significant mechanism of myocardial protection.
conferenceObject Expression of Ischemic Preconditioning in Patients With Stable Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease With and Without Diabetes Mellitus(2013) REZENDE, Paulo C.; GARCIA, Rosa M.; UCHIDA, Augusto H.; LIMA, Eduardo G.; GARZILLO, Cibele L.; SEGRE, Carlos A.; CESAR, Luiz A.; HUEB, Whady; RAMIRES, Jose A.; KALIL FILHO, Roberto- Impact of diabetes on 10-year outcomes of patients with multivessel coronary artery disease in the Medicine, Angioplasty, or Surgery Study II (MASS II) trial(2013) LIMA, Eduardo Gomes; HUEB, Whady; GARCIA, Rosa Maria Rahmi; PEREIRA, Alexandre Costa; SOARES, Paulo Rogerio; FAVARATO, Desiderio; GARZILLO, Cibele Larrosa; VIEIRA, Ricardo D'Oliveira; REZENDE, Paulo Cury; TAKIUTI, Myrthes; GIRARDI, Priscyla; HUEB, Alexandre Ciappina; RAMIRES, Jose A. F.; KALIL FILHO, RobertoIntroduction Diabetes mellitus is a major cause of coronary artery disease (CAD). Despite improvement in the management of patients with stable CAD, diabetes remains a major cause of increased morbidity and mortality. There is no conclusive evidence that either modality is better than medical therapy alone for the treatment of stable multivessel CAD in patients with diabetes in a very long-term follow-up. Our aim was to compare 3 therapeutic strategies for stable multivessel CAD in a diabetic population and non-diabetic population. Methods It was compared medical therapy (MT), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) in 232 diabetic patients and 379 nondiabetic patients with multivessel CAD. Endpoints evaluated were overall and cardiac mortality. Results Patients (n = 611) were randomized to CABG (n = 203), PCI (n = 205), or MT (n = 203). In a 10-year follow-up, more deaths occurred among patients with diabetes than among patients without diabetes (P = .001) for overall mortality. In this follow-up, 10-year mortality rates were 32.3% and 23.2% for diabetics and non-diabetics respectively (P = .024). Regarding cardiac mortality, 10-year cardiac mortality rates were 19.4% and 12.7% respectively (P = .031). Considering only diabetic patients and stratifying this population by treatment option, we found mortality rates of 31.3% for PCI, 27.5% for CABG and 37.5% for MT (P = .015 for CABG vs MT) and cardiac mortality rates of 18.8%, 12.5% and 26.1% respectively (P = .005 for CABG vs MT). Conclusions/interpretation Among patients with stable multivessel CAD and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction, the 3 therapeutic regimens had high rates of overall and cardiac-related deaths among diabetic compared with nondiabetic patients. Moreover, better outcomes were observed in diabetic patients undergoing CABG compared to MT in relation to overall and cardiac mortality in a 10-year follow-up.
conferenceObject Impact of Chronic Kidney Dysfunction Among Patients With Stable Coronary Artery Disease: Ten-Year Follow-Up of Mass II Trial(2016) LIMA, Eduardo G.; HUEB, Whady; GARZILLO, Cibele L.; FAVARATO, Desiderio; HUEB, Alexandre C.; REZENDE, Paulo C.; SILVA, Expedito E.; GARCIA, Rosa M.; SCUDELER, Thiago L.; RAMIRES, Jose A.; KALIL FILHO, Roberto- Hypotheses, rationale, design, and methods for evaluation of ischemic preconditioning assessed by sequential exercise tests in diabetic and non-diabetic patients with stable coronary artery disease - a prospective study(2013) REZENDE, Paulo Cury; GARCIA, Rosa Maria Rahmi; UCHIDA, Augusto Hiroshi; COSTA, Leandro Menezes Alves; SCUDELER, Thiago Luis; MELO, Rodrigo Morel Vieira; OIKAWA, Fernando Teiichi Costa; GARZILLO, Cibele Larrosa; LIMA, Eduardo Gomes; SEGRE, Carlos Alexandre Wainrober; FAVARATO, Desiderio; GIRARDI, Priscyla; TAKIUTI, Myrthes; STRUNZ, Celia Cassaro; HUEB, Whady; RAMIRES, Jose Antonio Franchini; KALIL FILHO, RobertoBackground: Ischemic preconditioning is a powerful mechanism of myocardial protection and in humans it can be evaluated by sequential exercise tests. Coronary Artery Disease in the presence of diabetes mellitus may be associated with worse outcomes. In addition, some studies have shown that diabetes interferes negatively with the development of ischemic preconditioning. However, it is still unknown whether diabetes may influence the expression of ischemic preconditioning in patients with stable multivessel coronary artery disease. Methods/Design: This study will include 140 diabetic and non-diabetic patients with chronic, stable coronary artery disease and preserved left ventricular systolic function. The patients will be submitted to two sequential exercise tests with 30-minutes interval between them. Ischemic parameters will be compared between diabetic and non-diabetic patients. Ischemic preconditioning will be considered present when time to 1.0 mm ST-segment deviation is greater in the second of two sequential exercise tests. Exercise tests will be analyzed by two independent cardiologists. Discussion: Ischemic preconditioning was first demonstrated by Murry et al. in dog's hearts. Its work was reproduced by other authors, clearly demonstrating that brief periods of myocardial ischemia followed by reperfusion triggers cardioprotective mechanisms against subsequent and severe ischemia. On the other hand, the demonstration of ischemic preconditioning in humans requires the presence of clinical symptoms or physiological changes difficult to be measured. One methodology largely accepted are the sequential exercise tests, in which, the improvement in the time to 1.0 mm ST depression in the second of two sequential tests is considered manifestation of ischemic preconditioning. Diabetes is an important and independent determinant of clinical prognosis. It's a major risk factor for coronary artery disease. Furthermore, the association of diabetes with stable coronary artery disease imposes worse prognosis, irrespective of treatment strategy. It's still not clearly known the mechanisms responsible by these worse outcomes. Impairment in the mechanisms of ischemic preconditioning may be one major cause of this worse prognosis, but, in the clinical setting, this is not known. The present study aims to evaluate how diabetes mellitus interferes with ischemic preconditioning in patients with stable, multivessel coronary artery disease and preserved systolic ventricular function.
- Impact of Chronic Kidney Disease on Long-Term Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetic Patients With Coronary Artery Disease on Surgical, Angioplasty, or Medical Treatment(2016) LIMA, Eduardo Gomes; HUEB, Whady; GERSH, Bernard J.; REZENDE, Paulo Cury; GARZILLO, Cibele Larrosa; FAVARATO, Desiderio; HUEB, Alexandre Ciappina; GARCIA, Rosa Maria Rahmi; RAMIRES, Jose Antonio Franchini; KALIL FILHO, RobertoBackground. Coronary artery disease (CAD) among patients with diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD) is not well studied, and the best treatment for this condition is not established. Our aim was to compare three therapeutic strategies for CAD in diabetic patients stratified by renal function. Methods. Patients with multivessel CAD that underwent coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), angioplasty (percutaneous coronary intervention [PCI]), or medical therapy alone (MT) were included. Data were analyzed according to glomerular filtration rate in three strata: normal (>90 mL/min), mild CKD (60 to 89 mL/min), and moderate CKD (30 to 59 mL/min). End points comprised overall rate of mortality, acute myocardial infarction, and need for additional revascularization. Results. Among patients with normal renal function (n = 270), 122 underwent CABG, 72 PCI, and 76 MT; among patients with mild CKD (n = 367), 167 underwent CABG, 92 PCI, and 108 MT; and among patients with moderate CKD (n = 126), 46 underwent CABG, 40 PCI, and 40 MT. Event-free survival was 80.4%, 75.7%, 67.5% for strata 1, 2, and 3, respectively (p = 0.037). Survival rates among patients with no, mild, and moderate CKD are 91.1%, 89.6%, and 76.2%, respectively (p = 0.001) (hazard ratio 0.69; 95% confidence interval 0.51 to 0.95; p = 0.024 for stratum 1 versus 3). We found no differences for overall number of deaths or acute myocardial infarctions irrespective of strata. The need of new revascularization was different in all strata, favoring CABG (p < 0.001, p < 0.001, and p = 0.029 for no, mild, and moderate CKD, respectively). Conclusions. Mortality rates were higher in patients with mild and moderate CKD. Higher event-free survival was observed in the CABG group among patients with no and mild CKD. Besides, CABG was associated with less need for new revascularization compared with PCI and MT in all renal function strata.

conferenceObject EVOLUTION OF VENTRICULAR FUNCTION IN PATIENTS WITH STABLE CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE SUBMITTED TO ON-PUMP OR OFF-PUMP CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFT IN MASS III TRIAL(2012) STASZKO, Kamila F.; HUEB, Whady; LIMA, Eduardo; BISELLI, Bruno; GARCIA, Rosa Maria Rahmi; VIEIRA, Ricardo D. O.; GARZILLO, Cibele Larrosa; PEREIRA, Alexandre Costa; HUEB, Alexandre Ciappina; REZENDE, Paulo Cury; CASELLA-FILHO, Antonio; RAMIRES, Jose; KALIL-FILHO, RobertoBackground Ventricular function is a major determinant of prognosis in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Few data are available to assess the evolution of ventricular function among patients submitted to off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery (OPCAB). Purpose To compare the evolution of ventricular function in a long-term follow-up among patients with stable CAD submitted to OPCAB or On-Pump coronary artery bypass graft (ONCAB) Methods Patients with stable CAD and preserved systolic left ventricular function were randomized to OPCAB or ONCAB and followed for 5 years. Patients who undergone a new evaluation of ventricular function in this follow-up were studied. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was assessed by echocardiogram. Results Of 308 patients randomized to OPCAB (n=155) or ONCAB (n=153), 91 had a new assessment of ventricular function by echocardiogram in a 5-year follow-up: 49 in ONCAB group and 42 in OPCAB group. In ONCAB group the initial and final mean of LVEF was respectively 59.85% and 56.16% (p=0.10). In OPCAB group the initial and final mean of LVEF was respectively 59.18 % and 56.07 (p=0.17). Conclusion There was no difference in the evolution of LVEF among patients with stable CAD randomized to ONCAB or OPCAB in a 5-year follow-up.

Chronic CAD/Stable Ischemic Heart Disease: Therapy Presentation Number: 1208-409conferenceObject DIRECT COMPARISON BETWEEN TWO HYPOGLYCEMIC AGENTS: EFFECTS ON MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIC PRECONDITIONING IN DIABETIC PATIENTS WITH SYMPTOMATIC CORONARY DISEASE(2012) GARCIA, Rosa Maria Rahmi; HUEB, Whady; UCHIDA, Augusto; REZENDE, Paulo Cury; MOFFA, Paulo Jorge; GARZILLO, Cibele Larrosa; LIMA, Eduardo; SOARES, Paulo; RAMIRES, Jose; KALIL-FILHO, RobertoIntroduction It is well known that hypoglycemic agents (sulfonylureas and Glinides) can have direct effects on ischemic preconditioning (IPC) because of the effect on the extrapancreatic ATP-dependent K+ channels. Some hypoglycemic drugs can abolish the IPC, affecting the infarct size and contractile function contributing to a worse prognosis. The Vildagliptin's mode of action is distinct from established antidiabetic medications. This study was performed to compare the effects of 2 hypoglycemic agents on myocardial IPC in patients with type 2 diabetes and multivessel coronary disease. Methods We evaluated 81 patients with type 2 diabetes, a positive exercise test and double and triple-vessel coronary disease confirmed by coronary angiography. Forty-two of these patients received repaglinide 2 mg, and 38 patients received Vildagliptin 100 mg (groups A and B, respectively). In phase I, all patients underwent 2 consecutive treadmill exercise tests (T1 and T2). The patients received hypoglycemic drugs for one week and underwent 2 more sequential tests (T3 and T4) during phase 2. The time interval between the exercise tests was 30 minutes. Results In phase 1, IPC was demonstrated by improvement in the time to 1 mm of ST segment depression (T-1.0mm). All patients developed myocardial ischemia in T3; however, 83.3% of patients in group A experienced myocardial ischemia earlier in T4, indicating the cessation of IPC (p<0.0001). In group B, only 28% of patients demonstrated IPC atenuation, with 72% still preserving the protective effect (p<0.0069). Conclusions These results show that Vildagliptin maintains myocardial IPC, while Repaglinide might be able to prevent it. This is of particular interest because we could demonstrate the safety of this new class of oral antidiabetic agents known as dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitors with respect to cardiovascular side effects ACC Moderated Poster Contributions McCormick Place South, Hall A Monday, March 26, 2012, 11:00 a.m.-Noon Session Title: Lipids, Hypertension, Hyperglycemia: New Tricks for Old Targets Abstract Category: 2.

Both diabetes mellitus and coronary artery disease are known predictors of troponin elevation. It is not known whether diabetic patients with coronary artery disease have different levels of troponin compared with diabetic patients with normal coronary arteries. To investigate this question, we determined the concentrations of a level 1 troponin assay in two groups of diabetic patients: those with multivessel coronary artery disease and those with angiographically normal coronary arteries. Methods: We studied 95 diabetic patients and compared troponin in serum samples from 50 patients with coronary artery disease (mean age = 63.7, 58 % male) with 45 controls with angiographically normal coronary arteries. Brain natriuretic peptide and the oxidative stress biomarkers myeloperoxidase, nitrotyrosine and oxidized LDL were also determined. Results: Diabetic patients with coronary artery disease had higher levels of troponin than did controls (median values, 12.0 pg/mL (95 % CI:10-16) vs 7.0 pg/mL (95 % CI: 5.9-8.5), respectively; p = 0.0001). The area under the ROC curve for the diagnosis of CAD was 0.712 with a sensitivity of 70 % and a specificity of 66 %. Plasma BNP levels and oxidative stress variables (myeloperoxidase, nitrotyrosine, and oxidized LDL) were not different between the two groups. In a multivariate analysis, gender (p = 0.04), serum glucose (0.03) and Troponin I (p = 0.01) had independent statistical significance. Conclusion: Troponin elevation is related to the presence of chronic coronary artery disease in diabetic patients with multiple associated cardiovascular risk factors. Troponin may serve as a biomarker in this high-risk population.
