[PMID: 38177694 PMCID: PMC10844087 DOI: 10.1038/s41371-023-00889-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2023] [Revised: 12/11/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2024]
Abstract
This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of esaxerenone (CS-3150) in treating primary hypertension. PubMed (Medline), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and Embase databases were searched for articles published until April 18, 2023. The outcomes included were diastolic blood pressure (DBP), systolic blood pressure (SBP), 24 h DBP, 24 h SBP, and adverse events. The meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.3. This study included three trials. CS-3150 5 mg had a greater effect on lowering the SBP, DBP, 24 h SBP, and 24 h DBP than either CS-3150 2.5 mg or eplerenone 50 mg. In contrast, CS-3150 2.5 mg and eplerenone 50 mg showed no significant difference in lowering DBP, SBP, 24 h DBP, and 24 h SBP. Moreover, adverse events occurred at comparable rates in the three groups. CS-3150 (especially CS-3150 5 mg) is an effective and safe treatment for primary hypertension; which can reduce blood pressure and alleviate hypertensive symptoms.

Abstract
Clinical and basic studies have documented that both hyperglycemia and insulin-resistance/hyperinsulinemia not only constitute metabolic disorders contributing to cardiometabolic syndrome, but also predispose to diabetic vasculopathy, which refers to diabetes-mellitus-induced microvascular and macrovascular complications, including retinopathy, neuropathy, atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, hypertension, and peripheral artery disease. The underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms include inappropriate activation of the renin angiotensin-aldosterone system, mitochondrial dysfunction, excessive oxidative stress, inflammation, dyslipidemia, and thrombosis. These abnormalities collectively promote metabolic disorders and further promote diabetic vasculopathy. Recent evidence has revealed that endothelial progenitor cell dysfunction, gut dysbiosis, and the abnormal release of extracellular vesicles and their carried microRNAs also contribute to the development and progression of diabetic vasculopathy. Therefore, clinical control and treatment of diabetes mellitus, as well as the development of novel therapeutic strategies are crucial in preventing cardiometabolic syndrome and related diabetic vasculopathy. The present review focuses on the relationship between insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus in diabetic vasculopathy and related cardiovascular disease, highlighting epidemiology and clinical characteristics, pathophysiology, and molecular mechanisms, as well as management strategies.

Effects of intensive blood pressure lowering in patients with diabetes: A pooled analysis of the STEP and ACCORD-BP randomized trials. Diabetes Obes Metab 2023; 25:796-804. [PMID: 36433919 DOI: 10.1111/dom.14927] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2022] [Revised: 11/11/2022] [Accepted: 11/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
AIM To determine whether intensive systolic blood pressure (SBP) lowering can benefit hypertensive patients with diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a pooled analysis of individual patient data from two randomized trials to compare intensive and standard SBP targets in hypertensive patients with diabetes (STEP diabetes subgroup and ACCORD-BP standard glycaemic group, n = 1627 and n = 2362, respectively). We defined a modified primary outcome as a composite of stroke, major coronary artery disease (myocardial infarction and unstable angina), heart failure, and cardiovascular death. The secondary outcomes were individual components of the primary outcome and death from any cause. A Cox proportional hazards regression model was used in the main analysis. We conducted one-stage mixed-effect models and two-stage analyses as sensitivity and supplementary analyses to verify the robustness of the findings. RESULTS A total of 3989 patients were randomized to undergo intensive (n = 1984) or standard SBP treatment (n = 2005). After a median follow-up of 3.83 years, the primary outcome occurred in 193/1984 patients in the intensive group and in 247/2005 patients in the standard group (hazard ratio [HR] 0.77, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.64-0.93). The incidence rates for secondary outcomes were lower in the intensive group than in the standard group, but were not significantly different, except for stroke (intensive vs. standard: 32/1984 vs. 58/2005; HR 0.56, 95% CI 0.36-0.86). These results remained consistent in the additional sensitivity and supplementary analyses. CONCLUSIONS An intensive SBP-lowering target of 110 to <130 mmHg reduces the cardiovascular outcomes compared with a standard SBP-lowering target of 130 to <150 mmHg. The findings of this study support the favourable effects of intensive SBP lowering in hypertensive patients with diabetes.

Abstract
Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) can have multiple comorbidities and premature mortality due to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, hospitalization with heart failure and/or chronic kidney disease. Traditional drugs that lower glucose, such as metformin, or that treat high blood pressure and blood levels of lipids, such as renin-angiotensin-system inhibitors and statins, have organ-protective effects in patients with T2DM. Amongst patients with T2DM treated with these traditional drugs, randomized clinical trials have confirmed the additional cardiorenal benefits of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP1RA) and nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists. The cardiorenal benefits of SGLT2i extended to patients with heart failure and/or chronic kidney disease without T2DM, whereas incretin-based therapy (such as GLP1RA) reduced cardiovascular events in patients with obesity and T2DM. However, considerable care gaps exist owing to insufficient detection, therapeutic inertia and poor adherence to these life-saving medications. In this Review, we discuss the complex interconnections of cardiorenal-metabolic diseases and strategies to implement evidence-based practice. Furthermore, we consider the need to conduct clinical trials combined with registers in specific patient segments to evaluate existing and emerging therapies to address unmet needs in T2DM.

Abstract
AIM Although systolic and diastolic blood pressures as well as blood glucose are monitored when nurses care for patients with type 2 diabetes, the same is not true for pulse pressure. We aimed to determine the association between pulse pressure and all-cause mortality. METHODS We conducted a longitudinal study of outpatients with type 2 diabetes aged 65 years and older at diabetes-specialized hospitals in Japan from September 2004 to December 2016. Descriptive data, blood pressure measurements, blood analysis data, and information on life and death were obtained from medical records. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate the relative risks with 95% confidence intervals for all-cause mortality. RESULTS We analyzed 357 of the 383 recruited patients (mean age, 74.9 years; 175 men and 182 women; average follow-up, 7.7 years), and 50 patients died. After adjusting for covariates, the relative risks for pulse pressures of 55 to <65, 65 to <75, and ≥75 mmHg (reference: <55 mmHg) were 1.77 (95% confidence interval: [0.59, 5.28]), 2.66 (95% confidence interval: [0.93, 7.56]), and 3.23 (95% confidence interval: [1.16, 8.99]), respectively. The relative risk for the 65 mmHg or higher group (reference: <65 mmHg) was 2.08 (95% confidence interval: [1.11, 3.92]). Neither systolic blood pressure nor diastolic blood pressure alone were significantly associated with mortality. CONCLUSIONS In older patients with type 2 diabetes, a wide pulse pressure was associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality. Nurses caring for older people with diabetes should also monitor pulse pressure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this clinical practice guideline is to provide updated and new evidence-based recommendations for the comprehensive care of persons with diabetes mellitus to clinicians, diabetes-care teams, other health care professionals and stakeholders, and individuals with diabetes and their caregivers. METHODS The American Association of Clinical Endocrinology selected a task force of medical experts and staff who updated and assessed clinical questions and recommendations from the prior 2015 version of this guideline and conducted literature searches for relevant scientific papers published from January 1, 2015, through May 15, 2022. Selected studies from results of literature searches composed the evidence base to update 2015 recommendations as well as to develop new recommendations based on review of clinical evidence, current practice, expertise, and consensus, according to established American Association of Clinical Endocrinology protocol for guideline development. RESULTS This guideline includes 170 updated and new evidence-based clinical practice recommendations for the comprehensive care of persons with diabetes. Recommendations are divided into four sections: (1) screening, diagnosis, glycemic targets, and glycemic monitoring; (2) comorbidities and complications, including obesity and management with lifestyle, nutrition, and bariatric surgery, hypertension, dyslipidemia, retinopathy, neuropathy, diabetic kidney disease, and cardiovascular disease; (3) management of prediabetes, type 2 diabetes with antihyperglycemic pharmacotherapy and glycemic targets, type 1 diabetes with insulin therapy, hypoglycemia, hospitalized persons, and women with diabetes in pregnancy; (4) education and new topics regarding diabetes and infertility, nutritional supplements, secondary diabetes, social determinants of health, and virtual care, as well as updated recommendations on cancer risk, nonpharmacologic components of pediatric care plans, depression, education and team approach, occupational risk, role of sleep medicine, and vaccinations in persons with diabetes. CONCLUSIONS This updated clinical practice guideline provides evidence-based recommendations to assist with person-centered, team-based clinical decision-making to improve the care of persons with diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The target blood pressure has changed many times in the guidelines in past years. However, there is always a question; is it good to lower blood pressure below 120/80 or not? Control of blood pressure in hypertension is very important in reducing hypertension-modified organ damage. So, the guidelines recommend combining more than one antihypertensive drug to reach the target blood pressure goal. RESULTS Combination therapy is recommended by guidelines to reach the blood pressure goal. The guidelines recommend many combinations, such as the combination of angiotensin receptor blockers with either calcium channel blockers (CCB) or beta-blocker (BB). Angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) combination with CCB has gained superiority over other antihypertension drug combinations because it reduces blood pressure and decreases the incidence of CV events and organ damage. BB combinations are recommended by guidelines in patients with ischemic events but not all hypertensive patients. Unfortunately, the new generation BB, for example, nebivolol, has a vasodilator effect, making it new hope for BB. CONCLUSION Combination therapy is a must in treating the hypertensive patient. The new generation BBs may change the recommendations of guidelines because they have an effect that is similar to CCBs.

Abstract
Elevated blood pressure and hyperglycaemia frequently coexist and are both components of metabolic syndrome. Enhanced cardiovascular risk is strongly associated with diabetes and the occurrence of hypertension. Both hypertension and type 2 diabetes, if treated inappropriately, lead to serious complications, increasing the mortality of patients and generating much higher costs of health systems. This is why it is of great importance to find the missing link between hypertension and diabetes development and to simultaneously search for drugs influencing these two disorders or even drugs aimed at their pathological bases. Standard antihypertensive therapy mainly focuses on blood pressure reduction, while novel drugs also possess a wide range of pleiotropic modes of actions, such as cardio- and nephroprotective properties or body weight reduction. These properties are especially desirable in a situation when type 2 diabetes coexists with hypertension. This review describes the connections between diabetes and hypertension development and briefly summarises the current knowledge regarding attempts to define targets for the treatment of high blood pressure in diabetic patients. It also describes the standard hypotensive drugs preferred in patients with type 2 diabetes, as well as novel drugs, such as finerenone, esaxerenone, sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide-1 analogues and sacubitril/valsartan.

Abstract
Background: Health economic evaluations are needed to assess the impact on the healthcare system of emerging treatment patterns for advanced prostate cancer. The objective of this study is to review the scientific literature identifying cost-effectiveness and cost analyses that are assessing treatments for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) and nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC). Methods: On 29 June 2021, we searched the scientific (MEDLINE, Embase, and EBSCO) and grey literature for health economic studies targeting mHSPC and nmCRPC. We used the CHEC-extended checklist and the Welte checklist for risk-of-bias assessment and transferability analysis, respectively. Results: We retained 20 cost-effectiveness and 4 cost analyses in the mHSPC setting, and 14 cost-effectiveness and 6 cost analyses in the nmCRPC setting. Docetaxel in combination with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) was the most cost-effective treatment in the mHSPC setting. Apalutamide, darolutamide, and enzalutamide presented similar results vs. ADT alone and were identified as cost-effective treatments for nmCRPC. An increase in costs as patients transitioned from nmCRPC to mCRPC was noted. Conclusions: We concluded that there is an important unmet need for health economic evaluations in the mHSPC and nmCRPC setting incorporating real-world data to support healthcare decision making.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the relationship between glycosylated hemoglobin variant index and cardiovascular disease in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods A total of 120 patients with type 2 diabetes who were admitted to the Department of Endocrinology in Chun'an Branch of Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital from January 2014 to January 2017 were enrolled. The clinical data, fasting blood glucose, and glycosylated hemoglobin levels of the patients were collected, and HGI was obtained by calculating the FPG level into the formula. Follow-up for three years was performed to observe the cardiovascular disease (including coronary heart disease and ischemic stroke) in patients. The occurrence of CVD was analyzed in patients with different levels of HGI. Multivariate logistics regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of CVD in patients with T2DM. Results After three years of follow-up, 8 cases of 120 patients were lost to follow-up. In the end, 24 cases of CVD occurred in 112 patients, with an incidence rate of 21.43%. Comparing the clinical data of CVD patients and non-CVD patients, it was found that the proportion of age, FPG, HbA1c, HGI, and insulin control in the CVD group was higher than that of the non-CVD group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). After grouping according to different HGI levels, it was found that with the increase of HGI level, the proportion of HbA1c, FPG, TC, CVD, and insulin use showed an upward trend (P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that high HGI level (OR = 4.660), older age (OR = 4.815), and higher FPG level (OR = 1.717) are independent risk factors that affect T2DM patients with cardiovascular disease (P < 0.05). Conclusion High HGI is independently associated with CVD events in patients with type 2 diabetes. HGI testing is helpful for clinical assessment of personalized assessment and prediction of cardiovascular risk in patients with diabetes.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in patients with diabetes. Cardiovascular disease in diabetes is multifactorial, and control of the cardiovascular risk factors leads to substantial reductions in cardiovascular events. The 2015 American Heart Association and American Diabetes Association scientific statement, "Update on Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Light of Recent Evidence," highlighted the importance of modifying various risk factors responsible for cardiovascular disease in diabetes. At the time, there was limited evidence to suggest that glucose-lowering medications reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. At present, several large randomized controlled trials with newer antihyperglycemic agents have been completed, demonstrating cardiovascular safety and reduction in cardiovascular outcomes, including cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, and heart failure. This AHA scientific statement update focuses on (1) the evidence and clinical utility of newer antihyperglycemic agents in improving glycemic control and reducing cardiovascular events in diabetes; (2) the impact of blood pressure control on cardiovascular events in diabetes; and (3) the role of newer lipid-lowering therapies in comprehensive cardiovascular risk management in adults with diabetes. This scientific statement addresses the continued importance of lifestyle interventions, pharmacological therapy, and surgical interventions to curb the epidemic of obesity and metabolic syndrome, important precursors of prediabetes, diabetes, and comorbid cardiovascular disease. Last, this scientific statement explores the critical importance of the social determinants of health and health equity in the continuum of care in diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It has been proved that triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) is a readily available and clinically significant indicator of insulin resistance (IR). Nevertheless, the association between TyG-BMI and incident Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains uncertain. This study aimed to study the relationship between TyG-BMI and T2DM and explore the predictive characteristics of TyG-BMI. METHODS Our study was conducted as a longitudinal cohort study. 8,430 men and 7,034 women were enrolled and analyzed. They were both non-diabetic subjects with normal glycemic levels. Follow-up lasted for 13 years, from 1994 to 2016. To make the number of TyG-BMI in each group similar, the subjects were divided into four groups with 3866 subjects in each group. RESULTS During the 13-year follow-up period, 373 subjects were diagnosed with incident T2DM. Our multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that TyG-BMI was an independent predictor of incident T2DM. In addition, our research identified four specific groups, young people (18-44 years old), women, the non-hypertensive population and non-drinkers were at significantly higher risk of developing TyG-BMI-related diabetes (P-interaction< 0.05). The best threshold TyG-BMI for predicting incident T2DM was 197.2987 (area under the curve 0.7738). CONCLUSIONS Our longitudinal cohort study demonstrated the positive correlation between baseline TyG-BMI and risk of incident T2DM in Japanese with normal glycemic levels, and this risk was significantly higher in the young people, women, the non-hypertensive population and non-drinkers.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The optimum target for systolic and diastolic blood pressure remains divisive. In particular, the conflicting outcomes of the SPRINT and ACCORD trials have led to a divergence of guideline-recommended blood pressure targets for adults with diabetes. AREAS COVERED Here, we review the existing recommendations for blood pressure targets in diabetes, discussing the evidence base behind them and their limitations. We start by outlining the risks and benefits of lower systolic blood pressure targets among diabetics. We then follow with a separate appraisal of diastolic blood pressure targets, which necessitates examination of the 'J curve' and isolated diastolic hypertension. EXPERT OPINION Current and emerging evidence supports, on balance, a blood pressure therapeutic target of < 130/90 mmHg in adults at increased risk for cardiovascular disease, including diabetics. Whether certain diabetics with systolic BPs of 120-130 and/or diastolic BPs 80-90 mmHg require drug treatment to a target of <120/80 mmHg is less clear and requires more research.

Abstract
Introduction: The search for and development of new highly active medications and their combinations of the appropriate direction of action remains an urgent problem due to the complications of diabetes mellitus, especially burdened with atherosclerosis, including skin and vascular lesions.
Materials and methods: The acute toxicity, histoprotective and dermatoprotective effects of mafusol, rexod, alprostadil and their combinations were studied in male rats with normoglycemia and alloxan diabetes complicated by exogenous hypercholesterolemia.
Results: The combination of mafusol with rexod is less toxic than mafusol. In arteriovenous insufficiency of the tail, ischemia of the skin fold and skin flap, mafusol (6.25, 12.5 and 25.0 mg/kg in terms of fumarate), rexod (0.01 and 0.02 mg/kg) and especially their combination (6.25 and 0.01 mg/kg) have significant histoprotective, dermatoprotective, hypoglycemic and lipid-lowering effects, both in normoglycemia and alloxan diabetes complicated by exogenous hypercholesterolemia. Alprostadil (10 mg/kg) and especially its combination with mafusol (6.25 mg/kg) have a dermatoprotective effect.
Discussion: Rexod reduces the acute toxicity of mafusol. The dermatoprotective effect of mafusol, rexod and, to a greater extent, their combination may be associated with increased microhemocirculation, antihypoxic properties and activation of energy processes in the skin, normalization of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in alloxan diabetes, complicated by exogenous hypercholesterolemia, increased reserve capacity of the antioxidant system, and possibly with the ability of mafusol and rexod to reduce blood viscosity and improve rheological properties of the blood. The combination of mafusol with alprostadil increases the dermatoprotective activity of the latter.
Conclusion: Combinations of mafusol with rexod and alprostadil can be recommended for clinical study as dermatoprotective agents for treating traumatic injuries and diabetes mellitus complicated by atherosclerosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Incorporating social determinants of health into care delivery for chronic diseases is a priority. OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to evaluate the impact of group medical visits and/or microfinance on blood pressure reduction. METHODS The authors conducted a cluster randomized trial with 4 arms and 24 clusters: 1) usual care (UC); 2) usual care plus microfinance (MF); 3) group medical visits (GMVs); and 4) GMV integrated into MF (GMV-MF). The primary outcome was 1-year change in systolic blood pressure (SBP). Mixed-effects intention-to-treat models were used to evaluate the outcomes. RESULTS A total of 2,890 individuals (69.9% women) were enrolled (708 UC, 709 MF, 740 GMV, and 733 GMV-MF). Average baseline SBP was 157.5 mm Hg. Mean SBP declined -11.4, -14.8, -14.7, and -16.4 mm Hg in UC, MF, GMV, and GMV-MF, respectively. Adjusted estimates and multiplicity-adjusted 98.3% confidence intervals showed that, relative to UC, SBP reduction was 3.9 mm Hg (-8.5 to 0.7), 3.3 mm Hg (-7.8 to 1.2), and 2.3 mm Hg (-7.0 to 2.4) greater in GMV-MF, GMV, and MF, respectively. GMV and GMV-MF tended to benefit women, and MF and GMV-MF tended to benefit poorer individuals. Active participation in GMV-MF was associated with greater benefit. CONCLUSIONS A strategy combining GMV and MF for individuals with diabetes or hypertension in Kenya led to clinically meaningful SBP reductions associated with cardiovascular benefit. Although the significance threshold was not met in pairwise comparison hypothesis testing, confidence intervals for GMV-MF were consistent with impacts ranging from substantive benefit to neutral effect relative to UC. Incorporating social determinants of health into care delivery for chronic diseases has potential to improve outcomes. (Bridging Income Generation With Group Integrated Care [BIGPIC]; NCT02501746).

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Blood pressure guidelines worldwide have changed their recommended blood pressure goals multiple times over the past decade due to an evolving understanding of the treatment of hypertension in patients with diabetes mellitus. While it is evident through randomized trials that treatment of hypertension in diabetes mellitus prevents complications, the optimal blood pressure goal is not clear. RECENT FINDINGS Post hoc analyses of the Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes-Blood Pressure (ACCORD-BP) trial, its long-term follow along study ACCORDION, and Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT) suggest that patients with diabetes have a reduced risk of adverse cardiovascular events when aiming for more intensive blood pressure targets. High-quality data support guideline recommendations for more aggressive blood pressure targets in patients with diabetes mellitus. Reasoning for a return to more aggressive blood pressure goals in this at-risk population is discussed, and treatment strategies encompassing contemporary therapeutic options are recommended.

Abstract
Hypertension is a common condition that is often seen in patients with diabetes. Both diseases increase the risk of morbidity and mortality from CV events and kidney disease progression. Factors that influence blood pressure (BP) control in diabetes include the persons' genetic background for hypertension and kidney disease, level of obesity and insulin resistance, the magnitude of preexisting kidney disease, and lifestyle factors, such as level of sodium and potassium intake, sleep quality and exercise effort all of which can affect levels of sympathetic nerve activity and contribute to increased BP variability. Lifestyle intervention is a key component to the effective management of diabetes and hypertension and can markedly reduce event rates of both heart and kidney outcomes. The approach to pharmacologic treatment of BP in diabetes is crucial since certain classes of agents for both BP and diabetes confer significant benefits to reduce cardiorenal outcomes.

Abstract
The association between blood pressure (BP) defined by the 2017 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Hypertension Clinical Practice Guidelines with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and chronic kidney disease in patients with diabetes mellitus remains unclear. This study used the National Health Insurance Database of Korea that has health information of 8 922 940 persons who were screened from 2009 to 2014. We determined the BP status of 490 352 diabetes mellitus: level 1 (systolic <120 mm Hg and diastolic <80 mm Hg), level 2 (systolic 120-129 mm Hg and diastolic <80 mm Hg), level 3 (systolic 130-139 mm Hg or diastolic 80-89 mm Hg), and level 4 (systolic ≥140 mm Hg or diastolic ≥90 mm Hg). Over a mean follow-up of 5 years, 6508 CVD events (1.3%), 14 318 cases of chronic kidney disease development (2.9%), 9094 cerebrovascular events (2.0%), and 1150 CVD mortalities (0.2%) occurred. Compared with people with BP levels 1, the adjusted hazard ratios for CVD in people with BP levels 2, 3, and 4 were 1.07 (95% CI, 0.98-1.16), 1.12 (95% CI, 1.04-1.20), and 1.17 (95% CI, 1.08-1.26), respectively. There were also increased risks of chronic kidney disease (1.18 [95% CI, 1.12-1.24] and 1.22 [95% CI, 1.15-1.29]), cerebrovascular disease (1.21 [95% CI, 1.14-1.29] and 1.52 [95% CI, 1.42-1.63]), and CVD mortality (1.31 [95% CI, 1.09-1.56] and 1.91 [95% CI, 1.58-2.32]) among subjects with BP levels 3 and 4 compared with those with BP level 1. These findings provide evidence supporting the 2017 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Hypertension Clinical Practice Guidelines for BP targets in diabetes mellitus patients.

Abstract
There is a higher incidence of stroke in both the type 2 diabetic and the non-diabetic insulin resistant patient which is accompanied by higher morbidity and mortality. The increase in the frequency of stroke is due to an increase in cerebral infarction, mainly lacunar infarcts, with the incidence of cerebral hemorrhage being less frequent. The major risk factors for stroke in the type 2 diabetic patient are age, hypertension, the number of features of the Metabolic Syndrome, the presence of diabetic nephropathy in both the type 1 and type 2 patient, the presence of peripheral and coronary artery disease and especially the presence of atrial fibrillation. Hyperglycemia is associated with a poor outcome from stroke but is not causative.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES A pay-for-performance (P4P) programme is a management strategy that encourages healthcare providers to deliver high quality of care. In Taiwan, the P4P programme has been implemented for diabetes, and certified diabetes physicians voluntarily enrol patients with diabetes into the P4P programme. The objectives of this study were to compare the risk of stroke and its related factors in patients with type 2 diabetes who were enrolled in a P4P programme compared with those who were not. STUDY DESIGN This study is a natural experiment in Taiwan. A retrospective cohort investigation was conducted from 2002 to 2013, which included 459 726 patients with type 2 diabetes, who were grouped according to P4P enrolment status following a propensity score matching process. METHODS We reviewed patients ≥45 years of age newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) from the National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to compare the relative risk of stroke between patients with type 2 DM enrolled in the P4P programme and those who were not enrolled. RESULTS Compared with the patients not enrolled, there was a significantly lower stroke risk in P4P participants (HR=0.97, 95% CI 0.95 to 0.99). Although a significantly lower risk of haemorrhagic stroke was observed (HR=0.87, 95% CI 0.82 to 0.93) in P4P participants, no statistically significant difference for the risk of ischaemic stroke between P4P and non-P4P patients (HR=0.99, 95% CI 0.97 to 1.02) was found. Following stratification analysis, a significantly reduced stroke risk was observed in male patients with type 2 diabetes, but not in women. CONCLUSIONS Participants in Taiwan's Diabetes P4P programme displayed a significantly reduced stroke risk, especially haemorrhagic stroke. We recommend the continual promotion of this programme to the general public and to physicians.

Abstract
Background Hypertension is the most prevalent and leading risk factor for stroke. SPRINT (The Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial) assessed the effects on cardiovascular event risk of intensive compared with standard systolic blood pressure reduction. In this secondary analysis of SPRINT data, we investigated how low on‐treatment diastolic blood pressure (DBP) influenced risk for stroke events. Methods and Results For this analysis, we used SPRINT_POP (Primary Outcome Paper) Research Materials from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Biologic Specimen and Data Repository Information Coordinating Center. Data for 8944 SPRINT participants were analyzed from the period after target blood pressure was achieved until the end of the trial. Overall, there were 110 stroke events, including 49 from the intensive‐treatment arm and 61 in the standard‐treatment group. In participants with DBP <70 mm Hg, stroke risk was higher than with DBP ≥70 mm Hg (hazard ratio, 1.467; 95% CI 1.009–2.133; P=0.0445). Univariable Cox proportional hazard risk analysis showed that in the whole group, age and cardiovascular and chronic renal diseases were stroke risk factors. These risk factors were related to lower DBP and higher pulse pressure, however, not to study arm. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard analysis revealed that only age, history of cardiovascular disease, current smoking status and on‐treatment systolic blood pressure were significantly related to stroke risk. Conclusions Low on‐treatment DBP is not related to the risk for the first stroke, in contrast to older age, the history of cardiovascular disease, current smoking status, and on‐treatment systolic blood pressure.

Abstract
Until the 2017 ACC/AHA Hypertension Guidelines were released, the target blood pressure (BP) for adults with hypertension (HTN) was 140/90 mmHg in most of the guidelines. The new 2018 ESC/ESH, Canadian, Korean, Japan, and Latin American hypertension guidelines have maintained the <140/90 mmHg for the primary target in the general population and encourage reduction to <130/80 if higher risk. This is more in keeping with the 2018 American Diabetes Association guidelines. However, the 2017 ACC/AHA guidelines classify HTN as BP ≥130/80 mmHg and generally recommend target BP levels below 130/80 mmHg for hypertensive patients independently of comorbid disease or age. Although the new guidelines mean that more people (nearly 50% of adults) will be diagnosed with HTN, the cornerstone of therapy is still lifestyle management unless BP cannot be lowered to this level; thus, more people will require BP-lowering medications. To date, there have been many controversies about the definition of HTN and the target BP. Targeting an intensive systolic BP goal can increase the adverse effects of multiple medications and the cardiovascular disease risk by excessively lowering diastolic BP, especially in patients with high risk, including those with diabetes, chronic kidney disease, heart failure, and coronary artery disease, and the elderly. In this review, we discuss these issues, particularly regarding the optimal target BP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the concordance in the prevalence of hypertension and pharmacological antihypertensive treatment recommendations for U.S. adults with diabetes using definitions from the 2017 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) blood pressure (BP) guideline and the 2017 American Diabetes Association (ADA) diabetes and hypertension position statement. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We analyzed data for U.S. adults with diabetes in the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), 2011-2016 (n = 2,266). Diabetes was defined by treatment with glucose-lowering medication, glycosylated hemoglobin ≥6.5%, fasting serum glucose ≥126 mg/dL, or nonfasting serum glucose ≥200 mg/dL. BP was measured three times and antihypertensive medication use was self-reported. RESULTS The prevalence (95% CI) of hypertension among U.S. adults with diabetes was 77.1% (73.9, 80.0) and 66.3% (63.4, 69.1) according to the ACC/AHA and ADA definitions, respectively. Also, 22.9% (20.0, 26.1) did not have hypertension according to either definition, and the concordance in hypertension status was 89.2% (87.2, 91.0). Among U.S. adults with diabetes not taking antihypertensive medication, 52.8% (47.7, 57.8) were not recommended to initiate antihypertensive medication by either the ACC/AHA or the ADA document and 22.4% (19.2, 25.9) were recommended to initiate it by both documents (overall concordance 75.2% [70.4, 79.4]). Among those taking antihypertensive medication, 45.3% (41.3, 49.4) and 50.4% (46.5, 54.2) had BP above the goal in neither and both documents, respectively (overall concordance 95.7% [93.4, 97.2]). CONCLUSIONS A high percentage of U.S. adults with diabetes are provided identical antihypertensive treatment recommendations by the ACC/AHA BP guideline and the ADA diabetes and hypertension position statement.

Abstract
In recent years, several post-interventional analyses of large-scale randomized controlled clinical trials have given us a new concept regarding the risk management of hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. The beneficial effects of intensive treatments were extended even after the interventions ended. This phenomenon is known as "metabolic memory" or "legacy effect", and we recognized its clinical significance. A certain level of evidence in human and animal studies employing organ transplantation techniques has indicated that this type of "memory" resides in each organ and could be transferrable, erasable, and rewritable, which is similar to neuronal and immune "memory". In this review, we define this memory as "organ memory" and summarize the current picture and future direction of this concept. "Organ memory" can be observed in many clinical settings, including in the control of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia. Several intensive treatments were demonstrated to have the potential to rewrite "organ memory", leading to the curability of targeted diseases. "Organ memory" is the engraved phenotype of altered organ responsiveness acquired by a time-dependent accumulation of organ stress responses. Not only is the epigenetic change of key genes involved in the formation of "organ memory" but the alteration of multiple factors, including low molecular weight energy metabolites, immune mediators, and tissue structures, is involved as well. These factors intercommunicate during every stress response and carry out incessant remodeling in a certain direction in a spiral fashion through positive feedback mechanisms. Future studies should be directed toward the identification of the core unit of "organ memory" and its manipulation.

Abstract
Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is a common reason for admission to the hospital, and readmission is frequent. Multiple factors contribute to rehospitalizations, but inadequate assessment of volume status leading to persistent congestion is an important factor. We sought to determine if focused cardiac ultrasound (FCU) of the inferior vena cava (IVC), as a surrogate of volume status, would predict readmission of ADHF patients after index hospitalization. Patients admitted with a primary diagnosis of ADHF were prospectively enrolled. All patients underwent FCU of the IVC on admission and then daily. 82 patients were enrolled. Patients demonstrated improvement in heart failure physical examination findings and symptoms during the hospitalization. There was a reduction in the size of the IVC and a significant increase in patients with small collapsible vena cava. Logistic regression analysis of physical examination, patient symptoms, and IVC parameters at discharge demonstrated IVC collapsibility and patient reported dyspnea improvement as the only significant variables to predict readmission or emergency department visit. FCU assessment of IVC size and collapsibility may be useful in patients with ADHF to predict risk of being readmitted within 30 days of hospital discharge.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical guidelines vary in determining optimal blood pressure targets in adults with diabetes mellitus. METHODS We systematically searched PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and clinicaltrials.gov in March 2018; conducted random effects frequentist meta-analyses of direct aggregate data; and appraised the quality of evidence using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) methodology. RESULTS From eligible 14 meta-analyses and 95 publications of randomized controlled trials (RCT), only 6 RCTs directly compared lower versus higher blood pressure targets; remaining RCTs aimed at comparative effectiveness of hypotensive drugs. In adults with diabetes mellitus and elevated systolic blood pressure (SBP), direct evidence (2 RCTs) suggests that intensive target SBP <120-140 mmHg decreases the risk of diabetes-related mortality [relative risk (RR) =0.68; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.50-0.92], fatal (RR =0.41; 95% CI, 0.20-0.84) or nonfatal stroke (RR =0.60; 95% CI, 0.43-0.83), prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy and electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities, macroalbuminuria, and non-spine bone fractures, with no differences in all-cause or cardiovascular mortality or falls. In adults with diabetes mellitus and elevated diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥90 mmHg, direct evidence (2 RCTs) suggests that intensive DBP target ≤80 versus 80-90 mmHg decreases the risk of major cardiovascular events. Published meta-analyses of aggregate data suggested a significant association between lower baseline and attained blood pressure and increased cardiovascular mortality. CONCLUSIONS We concluded that in adults with diabetes mellitus and arterial hypertension, in order to reduce the risk of stroke, clinicians should target blood pressure at 120-130/80 mmHg, with close monitoring for all drug-related harms.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hypertension is more prevalent in the elderly (age>65 years) diabetic population than in the general population and shows an increasing prevalence with advancing age. Both diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension are independent risk factors for cardiovascular (CV) related morbidity and mortality. Optimal BP targets were not identified in elderly patients with DM and hypertension. AREAS COVERED In this review article, the authors briefly discuss the pathophysiology of hypertension in elderly diabetics, present evidence with various antihypertensive drug classes supporting the treatment of hypertension to reduce CV events in older diabetics, and then discuss the optimal target BP goals in these patients. EXPERT OPINION Clinicians should have a BP goal of less than 130/80 mm in all elderly patients with hypertension and DM, especially in those with high CV-risk. When medications are required for optimal BP control in addition to lifestyle measures, either thiazide diuretics, angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, or calcium channel blockers should be considered as initial therapy. Combinations of medications are usually required in these patients because BP control is more difficult to achieve in diabetics than those without DM.
