1 Session II: Glycemic control, when the lower is not the better Strict glycemic control and cardiovascular diseases Stefano Genovese Diabetologia e Malattie Metaboliche Thirteenth International Symposium Heart Failure & Co. “My Sweet Heart” Città della Scienza, Napoli 12-13 April 2013

2 Questions Is hyperglycemia an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease? Is hyperglycemia an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease in diabetic patients? Lowering glycemia reduces the risk for cardiovascular disease?

3 Fasting blood glucose and cardiovascular mortality in healthy nondiabetic men Bjornholt JV et al. Diabetes Care 1999;22:45.

4 Intensive Diabetes Treatment and Cardiovascular Disease in Patients with Type 1 Diabetes N Engl J Med 2005;353:2643-53.

5 UKPDS

6 Other Questions Is it feasible an intensive treatment of hyperglycemia? Are CV events reduced by an intensive treatment of hyperglycemia? Is there a first choice drug in intensive treatment to reduce CV events? UGDP UKPDS 34 UKPDS 33 DIGAMI Kumamoto ACCORD VADT ADVANCE

7 ACCORD Study Group et al. NEJM 2008;358:2545-59 ACCORD In the ACCORD study a HbA1c value <6,5% has been reached in less than one year and maintained

8 ADVANCE Collaborative Group et al. NEJM 2008;358:2560-72 ADVANCE In the ADVANCE study a HbA1c value <6,5% has been reached in three years and maintained

9 VADT In the VADT study a HbA1c value around 6,5% has been reached in one year and maintained 5.0 5.5 6.0 6.5 7.0 7.5 8.0 8.5 9.0 9.5 10.0 10.5 Baseline1 year2 years3 years4 years5 years6 years Years on Study HbA1c (%) Standard Intensive

13 ACCORD Study Group et al. NEJM 2008;358:2545-59 Effects of Intensive Glucose Lowering in Type 2 Diabetes - ACCORD

14 Causes of death in the ACCORD ACCORD Study Group et al. NEJM 2008;358:2545-59 Causes of death: Unexpected or presumed cardiovascular disease Condition other than cancer or cardiovascular disease What is the role of hypoglycemia?

15 VADT – Predictors of CVD death VariableHazard Ratio P Value Prior CVD event3.1160.0001 Age (per 10 yr)2.090<.0001 HDL (per 10 mg)0.6990.0079 Baseline HbA1c per 1% 1.2130.0150 Severe Hypoglycemia4.0420.0076

16 The ACCORD suggests that outcomes differ according to – HbA1c below or above a 8,0% – Presence of previous CV events Is there a study on the intensive treatment in T2DM in a population with – Basal HbA1c <8,0% – No previous CV events? Hypothesis…..

NEJM 2008;358:2630-3 ADVANCE does not confirm the reduction of MI suggested by ACCORD

20 ADVANCE Collaborative Group et al. NEJM 2008;358:2560-72 Intensive Blood Glucose Control and Vascular Outcomes in Patients with Type Diabetes In the ADVANCE the intensive treatment reduces the microvascular endpoint Mortality does not increase p=0,01 p=0,32 p=0,28

21 Is there a study on the intensive treatment in T2DM in a population with – Basal HbA1c <8,0% – No previous CV events? Hypothesis……. Yes, the …….. UKPDS where participants had basal HbA1c of 7,0% without previous CV events

22 In the UKPDS the effect of intensive treatment showed p=0,052 and no effect on mortality According to the UKPDS duration the follow-up of ACCORD, ADVANCE e VADT seems to short In the UKPDS-PTM the reduction of MI was statistically significant

Diabetologia 2009 Before entering the VADT, intensive treatment arm After entering the VADT, intensive treatment arm The "bad" metabolic memory increases the macrovascular complications of T2DM

25 Position Statement ADA EASD Diabetologia. 2012 Jun;55(6):1577-96 Diabetes Care. 2012 Jun;35(6):1364-79

26 Answers Are CV events reduced by an intensive treatment of hyperglycemia? YES, in patients with HbA1c <8% and no previous CV events Is it feasible an intensive treatment of hyperglycemia? YES Pay attention to: hypoglycemia fragile patients don't hurry choose the right drug!
