Abstract
The key role played by platelets in the atherosclerosis physiopathology, especially in the acute setting, is ascertained: they are the main actors during thrombus formation and, thus, one of the major investigated elements related to atherothrombotic process involving coronary arteries. Platelets have been studied from different points of view, according with the technology advances and the improvement in the hemostasis knowledge achieved in the last years. Morphology and reactivity constitute the first aspects investigated related to platelets with a significant body of evidence published linking a number of their values and markers to coronary artery disease and cardiovascular events. Recently, the impact of genetics on platelet activation has been explored with promising findings as additional instrument for patient risk stratification; however, this deserves further confirmations. Moreover, the interplay between immune system and platelets has been partially elucidated in the last years, providing intriguing elements that will be basic components for future research to better understand platelet regulation and improve cardiovascular outcome of patients.

Effects of DPP4 Inhibitor in Platelet Reactivity and Other Cardiac Risk Markers in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes and Acute Myocardial Infarction. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11195776. [PMID: 36233642 PMCID: PMC9571017 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11195776] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2022] [Revised: 09/23/2022] [Accepted: 09/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/01/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: The management of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) presents several challenges in patients with diabetes, among them the higher rate of recurrent thrombotic events, hyperglycemia and risk of subsequent heart failure (HF). The objective of our study was to evaluate effects of DPP-4 inhibitors (DPP-4i) on platelet reactivity (main objective) and cardiac risk markers. Methods: We performed a single-center double-blind randomized trial. A total of 70 patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) with AMI Killip ≤2 on dual-antiplatelet therapy (aspirin plus clopidogrel) were randomized to receive sitagliptin 100 mg or saxagliptin 5 mg daily or matching placebo. Platelet reactivity was assessed at baseline, 4 days (primary endpoint) and 30 days (secondary endpoint) after randomization, using VerifyNow Aspirin™ assay, expressed as aspirin reaction units (ARUs); B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in pg/mL was assessed at baseline and 30 days after (secondary endpoint). Results: Mean age was 62.6 ± 8.8 years, 45 (64.3%) male, and 52 (74.3%) of patients presented with ST-segment elevation MI. For primary endpoint, there were no differences in mean platelet reactivity (p = 0.51) between the DPP-4i (8.00 {−65.00; 63.00}) and placebo (−14.00 {−77.00; 52.00}) groups, as well in mean BNP levels (p = 0.14) between DPP-4i (−36.00 {−110.00; 15.00}) and placebo (−13.00 {−50.00; 27.00}). There was no difference between groups in cardiac adverse events. Conclusions: DPP4 inhibitor did not reduce platelet aggregation among patients with type 2 diabetes hospitalized with AMI. Moreover, the use of DPP-4i did not show an increase in BNP levels or in the incidence of cardiac adverse events. These findings suggests that DPP-4i could be an option for management of T2DM patients with acute MI.

Similar Inflammatory Biomarkers Reflect Different Platelet Reactivity in Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Patients Treated With Clopidogrel: A Large-Sample Study From China. Front Cardiovasc Med 2021; 8:736466. [PMID: 34671655 PMCID: PMC8521006 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.736466] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2021] [Accepted: 09/06/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Platelet reactivity is closely associated with adverse events in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) patients. Inflammation plays a crucial role in the development of coronary heart disease (CHD). Aim: To investigate the association of inflammatory biomarkers such as leukocyte count and high-sensitivity C reactive proteins (hs-CRP) with platelet reactivity in PCI patients treated with clopidogrel. Method: We examined 10,724 consecutive PCI patients in Fuwai hospital from January 2013 to December 2013. High on-treatment platelet reactivity (HTPR) was defined as adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-induced platelet maximum amplitude [MA(ADP)] of thromboelastogram (TEG) > 47 mm, and low on-treatment platelet reactivity (LTPR) MA(ADP) < 31 mm. Results: Finally, 6,772 PCI patients treated with clopidogrel who had the results of postoperative TEG were enrolled. Among them, 2,070 (30.57%) presented HTPR and 2,568 (37.92%) presented LTPR. As for LTPR, multivariate logistic regression showed that leukocyte count (OR: 1.153, 95% CI 1.117–1.191) and hs-CRP (OR: 0.920, 95% CI 0.905–0.936) were independent predictors, along with diabetes mellites, hemoglobin, platelet count and glucose. As for HTPR, multivariate logistic regression showed that leukocyte count (OR: 0.885, 95% CI 0.854–0.917) and hs-CRP (OR: 1.094, 95% CI 1.077–1.112) were independent predictors, along with sex, hemoglobin, platelet count and glucose. Conclusions: This was the first large real-world study reporting that both leukocyte count and hs-CRP were the independent factors for platelet reactivity in PCI populations treated with clopidogrel, among which higher leukocyte count was associated with more LTPR while higher hs-CRP was associated with more HTPR, providing new insights on individualized antiplatelet therapy.

Thrombopoietin Contributes to Enhanced Platelet Activation in Patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22137032. [PMID: 34210000 PMCID: PMC8269076 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22137032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2021] [Revised: 06/22/2021] [Accepted: 06/25/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Enhanced platelet reactivity is considered a main determinant of the increased atherothrombotic risk of diabetic patients. Thrombopoietin (THPO), a humoral growth factor able to stimulate megakaryocyte proliferation and differentiation, also modulates the response of mature platelets by enhancing both activation and binding to leukocytes in response to different agonists. Increased THPO levels have been reported in different clinical conditions characterized by a generalized pro-thrombotic state, from acute coronary syndromes to sepsis/septic shock, and associated with elevated indices of platelet activation. To investigate the potential contribution of elevated THPO levels in platelet activation in T1DM patients, we studied 28 T1DM patients and 28 healthy subjects. We measured plasma levels of THPO, as well as platelet-leukocyte binding, P-selectin, and THPO receptor (THPOR) platelet expression. The priming activity of plasma from diabetic patients or healthy subjects on platelet–leukocyte binding and the role of THPO on this effect was also studied in vitro. T1DM patients had higher circulating THPO levels and increased platelet–monocyte and platelet–granulocyte binding, as well as platelet P-selectin expression, compared to healthy subjects, whereas platelet expression of THPOR did not differ between the two groups. THPO concentrations correlated with platelet–leukocyte binding, as well as with fasting glucose and Hb1Ac. In vitro, plasma from diabetic patients, but not from healthy subjects, primed platelet–leukocyte binding and platelet P-selectin expression. Blocking THPO biological activity using a specific inhibitor prevented the priming effect induced by plasma from diabetic patients. In conclusion, augmented THPO may enhance platelet activation in patients with T1DM, potentially participating in increasing atherosclerotic risk.

Diabetes Metab Res Rev 2020; 36:e3290. [PMID: 31943700 DOI: 10.1002/dmrr.3290] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2019] [Revised: 10/03/2019] [Accepted: 10/05/2019] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Higher prothrombotic status and alterations in platelet function and thrombopoiesis are associated with diabetes mellitus (DM). We assessed the impact of diabetes and glucose control on the immature platelet fraction (IPF) and their relationship with prevalence and extent of coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS Consecutive patients undergoing coronary angiography were included. Significant CAD was defined as at least one vessel stenosis greater than 50%. IPF levels were measured at admission by routine blood cells count (A Sysmex XE-2100). RESULTS We included 1781 patients, of whom 660 (37.1%) suffered from diabetes. Diabetes was associated with advanced age and a higher cardiovascular risk profile. No difference in the mean values of IPF were observed between patients with or without DM (3.6 ± 2.5 vs 3.5 ± 2.5, P = 0.39) and neither in the rate of patients with IPF above the median (2.9%) (51.6% vs 50.6%, P = 0.73). In patients with DM, the IPF levels did not relate with glucose control parameters (glycaemia: r = -0.024, P = 0.54, glycosylated haemoglobin: r = 0.11, P = 0.72). The prevalence of CAD was significantly lower in patients with DM and IPF greater than the median (80.5% vs 86.5%, P = 0.04, adjusted odds ratio [OR] [95% confidence interval {CI}] = 0.57[0.36-0.91], P = 0.02), while not left main/three-vessel CAD (36.9% vs 38.2%, P = 0.75, adjusted OR [95%CI] = 0.91[0.64-1.28], P = 0.90). CONCLUSION In the present study, neither DM nor glucose control are independent predictors of IPF above the median. In patients with DM, higher IPF levels were associated with a lower prevalence of CAD and with a similar extent of severe CAD and angiographic findings. Therefore, until new data become available, elevated IPF should not be systematically applied on a large scale as cardiovascular risk marker in patients with diabetes.

Vitamin D levels and platelet reactivity in diabetic patients receiving dual antiplatelet therapy. Vascul Pharmacol 2019; 120:106564. [PMID: 31176855 DOI: 10.1016/j.vph.2019.106564] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2019] [Revised: 04/08/2019] [Accepted: 05/27/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypovitaminosis D represents an emerging cardiovascular risk factor, and especially among higher-risk subsets of patients, such as in those with diabetes mellitus. The anti-inflammatory and anti-thrombotic properties of vitamin D, in fact, could be even more beneficial among diabetics, where platelet hyperreactivity and suboptimal response to antiplatelet drugs has been associated with poorer outcomes. However, no study has so far evaluated the impact of vitamin D levels on platelet reactivity and high-on treatment platelet reactivity (HRPR) among diabetic patients receiving dial antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). METHODS Our population is represented by a consecutive cohort ofdiabetic patients treated with DAPT (ASA + clopidogrel or ticagrelor or dose-adjusted prasugrel) for an acute coronary syndrome or elective PCI, undergoing platelet reactivity assessment at 30-90 days post-discharge. Aggregation was assessed by multiple-electrode aggregometry. HRPR was defined for values above the lower limit of normality (in non-treated patients). RESULTS We included 440 patients, that were divided according to quartiles values of vitamin D (< 9.4; 9.4-15.59; 15.6-21.64; ≥ 21.65 ng/ml). Among them, 31 were excluded as chronically treated with vitamin D supplementation. Lower vitamin D quartiles were associated with more advanced age (p = 0.01), female gender (p = 0.04), renal failure (p = 0.005), history of previous MI (p = 0.01), CABG and use of diuretics (p = 0.003), severe coronary disease (p = 0.002), but lower ejection fraction (p = 0.001), treatment with statins (p = 0.04) and new ADP-antagonists (p = 0.002). Vitamin D levels related with higher HbA1c (p = 0.001), cholesterol (p = 0.02) and creatinine (p = 0.004) and lower hemoglobin (p = 0.004). The prevalence of HRPR with ASA was low and not related to vitamin D quartiles (3.4% vs 2.7% vs 1.8% vs 2.1%, p = 0.44; adjusted OR[95%CI] = 1.16[0.60-2.26], p = 0.67). The prevalence of HRPR for ADP antagonists was associated to hypovitaminosis D (40.2% vs 29.1% vs 29.4% vs 25.5%, p = 0.03; (adjusted OR[95%CI] = 1.76[1.04-2.98], p = 0.036for I vs II-IV quartile). The impact of vitamin D quartiles, was significant only in patients on new ADP antagonists (n = 225, of whom 81 on prasugrel 5 mg; p = 0.03; adjusted OR[95%CI] = 3.12[1.34-7.49], p = 0.009) but not with clopidogrel (p = 0.85, adjusted OR[95%CI] = 1.05[0.49-2.24], p = 0.89). CONCLUSIONS Among diabetic patients receiving dual antiplatelet therapy for an acute coronary syndrome or elective percutaneous coronary intervention, severe vitamin D deficiency is associated with a higher ADP-mediated platelet reactivity and rate of HRPR, and especially for new ADP-antagonists over clopidogrel.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder associated with accelerated atherogenesis and an increased risk of atherothrombotic complications. Multiple mechanisms contribute to the pro-thrombotic status which characterizes DM patients underscoring the importance of antiplatelet therapies used for secondary prevention in these patients. For many years, dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin and the P2Y12 inhibitor clopidogrel has represented the mainstay of treatment following an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). Although DAPT reduces the incidence of atherothrombotic recurrences, these rates remain high in DM patients underscoring the need for more efficacious therapies. Oral platelet P2Y12 receptor inhibitors with enhanced potency, such as prasugrel and ticagrelor, as well as antiplatelet therapies such as vorapaxar inhibiting the thrombin-mediated platelet signaling pathway, constitute treatment opportunities for patients with DM and have shown to be associated with a greater reduction in ischemic recurrences, albeit at the cost of more bleeding. This article reviews currently available antiplatelet agents and delivers an update on the advances and drawbacks of these agents used for secondary prevention in DM patients experiencing an ACS or undergoing PCI.

Abstract
SummaryIt was the study objective to determine whether glycaemic control affects the extent of platelet inhibition by thienopyridines as assessed by vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein flow cytometry (VASP-FCT) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) during acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Although the proportion of high on-treatment residual platelet reactivity is higher in DM, the contributions of glycaemic control and other factors associated with DM, such as excess body weight and inflammation, to this impaired platelet inhibition by thienopyridines have not yet been fully characterised. In this study, the extent of P2Y12 ADP receptor pathway inhibition was evaluated by the VASP-FCT. Platelet activation was expressed as the platelet reactivity index (PRI). Low response to clopidogrel (LR) was defined as a PRI of >61%. Four hundred forty-five consecutive ACS patients (DM = 160, NDM = 285) were enrolled. The proportion of LR was higher in DM patients (50 vs. 37.5%). In DM, PRI was not correlated with glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) or glycaemia. In a univariate analysis, LR was associated with age, male sex, overweight, and white blood cell count (WBC). In a multivariate analysis, WBC >10,000 and body weight >80 kg were the sole independent predictors of LR to clopidogrel (hazard ratio (HR) 3.02 [1.36–6.68], p=0.006 and HR 2.47 [1.14–5.35], p = 0.021, respectively). Conversely, in non-DM patients, ST-elevation myocardial infarction was the sole independent predictor of LR. In conclusion, in ACS DM patients undergoing PCI, the extent of P2Y12 inhibition by clopidogrel is not related to glycaemic control but is related to body weight and inflammatory status as assessed by the WBC.

Abstract
Background A number of factors may offset the cardioprotective effects of glucose‐insulin‐potassium (GIK) on outcome of patients with acute coronary syndrome, such as hyperglycemia induced by this cocktail infusion. We performed a study to evaluate the effect of intensive insulin therapy in association with GIK on 1‐year outcome in patients hospitalized for acute coronary syndrome. Methods and Results In a randomized prospective controlled trial we included 772 patients with non–ST‐segment elevation acute coronary syndrome. Patients were randomized into 3 groups: GIKI2 group, who received GIK with intensive insulin therapy for 24 hours; GIK group, who received GIK with nonintensive insulin therapy; and control group, who received usual care. The primary outcome criteria were the rates of major cardiovascular events combining death, reinfarction, and stroke rate at 1 year. In addition, we measured platelet function assay‐100 and plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 at admission and 24 hours later. Based on an intention‐to‐treat analysis, major cardiovascular events at 1 year was 12.8% in the GIKI2 group, 15.5% in the GIK group, and 20.5% in the placebo group; the difference was significant between the GIK2 and control groups (P=0.01). Platelet function assay‐100 at 24 hours decreased significantly from baseline in the control group but not in the GIKI2 group. Plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 decreased significantly in the GIKI2 group but significantly increased in the control group. Minor hypoglycemic events were more frequent in the GIKI2 group compared with other groups. Conclusions GIKI2 led to improvement of 1‐year outcome rates in patients with non–ST‐segment elevation acute coronary syndrome. This beneficial effect was associated with a decrease in platelet reactivity and an increase on fibrinolysis tests. Clinical Trial Registration URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov.

Abstract
The Cochrane Metabolic and Endocrine Disorders Group withdrew this review as of Issue 7, 2015 because the involvement of two authors (C Hemmingsen and SS Lund) being employed in pharmaceutical companies. The authors of the review and the Cochrane Metabolic and Endocrine Disorders Group did not find that this was a breach of the rules of the Cochrane Collaboration at the time when it was published. However, after the publication of the review, the Cochrane Collaboration requested withdrawal of the review due to the employment of the two authors. A new protocol for a review to cover this topic will be published. This will have a new title and a markedly improved protocol fulfilling new and important developments and standards within the Cochrane Collaboration as well as an improved inclusion and search strategy making it necessary to embark on a completely new review project. The editorial group responsible for this previously published document have withdrawn it from publication.

Abstract
Background Hyperglycaemia may attenuate the antiplatelet effect of aspirin and thereby increase the risk of cardiovascular events. We investigated the influence of increased haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels on platelet aggregation and turnover in a large cohort of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) with type 2 diabetes, prediabetes or no diabetes. Methods In this observational study, we included 865 stable CAD patients on 75 mg aspirin as mono-therapy of whom 242 patients had type 2 diabetes and were receiving antidiabetic drugs. Among 623 patients without diabetes, we classified 303 patients with prediabetes (HbA1c ≥5.7–6.4% [39–47 mmol/mol]) naive to antidiabetic drugs. Platelet aggregation was evaluated by the Multiplate Analyzer using arachidonic acid and collagen and by the VerifyNow Aspirin. Platelet turnover was evaluated by immature platelets using flow cytometry and platelet activation by soluble P-selectin. Results CAD patients with type 2 diabetes had higher platelet aggregation (all p-values <0.01), platelet turnover (immature platelet count, p<0.01) and platelet activation (p<0.001) than patients without diabetes. CAD patients with prediabetes had increased platelet aggregation (p = 0.02) and platelet count (p = 0.02) compared with patients without diabetes. Increased levels of HbA1c correlated positively with increased platelet aggregation using arachidonic acid (r = 0.19, p<0.0001), collagen (r = 0.10, p<0.01) and VerifyNow (r = 0.15, p<0.0001), and with platelet count (r = 0.08, p = 0.01), immature platelet count (r = 0.11, p<0.001) and soluble P-selectin (r = 0.15, p<0.0001). These associations were mainly evident in non-diabetic and prediabetic CAD patients. Conclusions CAD patients with prediabetes and diabetes may have attenuated antiplatelet effect of aspirin compared with CAD patients without diabetes. This may be related to increased platelet count in patients with prediabetes. Increased levels of HbA1c correlated positively, though weakly, with increased platelet aggregation, platelet turnover and platelet activation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality compared to the background population. Observational studies report an association between reduced blood glucose and reduced risk of both micro- and macrovascular complications in patients with T2D. Our previous systematic review of intensive glycaemic control versus conventional glycaemic control was based on 20 randomised clinical trials that randomised 29 ,986 participants with T2D. We now report our updated review. OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of targeted intensive glycaemic control compared with conventional glycaemic control in patients with T2D. SEARCH METHODS Trials were obtained from searches of The Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Science Citation Index Expanded, LILACS, and CINAHL (all until December 2012). SELECTION CRITERIA We included randomised clinical trials that prespecified targets of intensive glycaemic control versus conventional glycaemic control targets in adults with T2D. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two authors independently assessed the risk of bias and extracted data. Dichotomous outcomes were assessed by risk ratios (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Health-related quality of life and costs of intervention were assessed with standardized mean differences (SMD) and 95% Cl. MAIN RESULTS Twenty-eight trials with 34,912 T2D participants randomised 18,717 participants to intensive glycaemic control versus 16,195 participants to conventional glycaemic control. Only two trials had low risk of bias on all risk of bias domains assessed. The duration of the intervention ranged from three days to 12.5 years. The number of participants in the included trials ranged from 20 to 11,140. There were no statistically significant differences between targeting intensive versus conventional glycaemic control for all-cause mortality (RR 1.00, 95% CI 0.92 to 1.08; 34,325 participants, 24 trials) or cardiovascular mortality (RR 1.06, 95% CI 0.94 to 1.21; 34,177 participants, 22 trials). Trial sequential analysis showed that a 10% relative risk reduction could be refuted for all-cause mortality. Targeting intensive glycaemic control did not show a statistically significant effect on the risks of macrovascular complications as a composite outcome in the random-effects model, but decreased the risks in the fixed-effect model (random RR 0.91, 95% CI 0.82 to 1.02; and fixed RR 0.93, 95% CI 0.87 to 0.99; P = 0.02; 32,846 participants, 14 trials). Targeting intensive versus conventional glycaemic control seemed to reduce the risks of non-fatal myocardial infarction (RR 0.87, 95% CI 0.77 to 0.98; P = 0.02; 30,417 participants, 14 trials), amputation of a lower extremity (RR 0.65, 95% CI 0.45 to 0.94; P = 0.02; 11,200 participants, 11 trials), as well as the risk of developing a composite outcome of microvascular diseases (RR 0.88, 95% CI 0.82 to 0.95; P = 0.0008; 25,927 participants, 6 trials), nephropathy (RR 0.75, 95% CI 0.59 to 0.95; P = 0.02; 28,096 participants, 11 trials), retinopathy (RR 0.79, 95% CI 0.68 to 0.92; P = 0.002; 10,300 participants, 9 trials), and the risk of retinal photocoagulation (RR 0.77, 95% CI 0.61 to 0.97; P = 0.03; 11,212 participants, 8 trials). No statistically significant effect of targeting intensive glucose control could be shown on non-fatal stroke, cardiac revascularization, or peripheral revascularization. Trial sequential analyses did not confirm a reduction of the risk of non-fatal myocardial infarction but confirmed a 10% relative risk reduction in favour of intensive glycaemic control on the composite outcome of microvascular diseases. For the remaining microvascular outcomes, trial sequential analyses could not establish firm evidence for a 10% relative risk reduction. Targeting intensive glycaemic control significantly increased the risk of mild hypoglycaemia, but substantial heterogeneity was present; severe hypoglycaemia (RR 2.18, 95% CI 1.53 to 3.11; 28,794 participants, 12 trials); and serious adverse events (RR 1.06, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.10; P = 0.007; 24,280 participants, 11 trials). Trial sequential analysis for a 10% relative risk increase showed firm evidence for mild hypoglycaemia and serious adverse events and a 30% relative risk increase for severe hypoglycaemia when targeting intensive versus conventional glycaemic control. Overall health-related quality of life, as well as the mental and the physical components of health-related quality of life did not show any statistical significant differences. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Although we have been able to expand the number of participants by 16% in this update, we still find paucity of data on outcomes and the bias risk of the trials was mostly considered high. Targeting intensive glycaemic control compared with conventional glycaemic control did not show significant differences for all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality. Targeting intensive glycaemic control seemed to reduce the risk of microvascular complications, if we disregard the risks of bias, but increases the risk of hypoglycaemia and serious adverse events.

Abstract
Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) are at high risk for several cardiovascular disorders such as coronary heart disease, stroke, peripheral arterial disease, and congestive heart failure. DM has reached epidemic proportions and its strong association with coronary artery disease is responsible for increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. DM patients are characterized by platelet hyperreactivity, which contribute to the enhanced atherothrombotic risk of these subjects. Several mechanisms are involved in the hyperreactive platelet phenotype characterizing DM patients. Furthermore, a large proportion of DM patients show inadequate response to standard antiplatelet treatments and high rate of adverse recurrent cardiovascular events despite compliance with standard antiplatelet treatment regimens. Therefore, new antiplatelet treatment regimens are warranted in DM patients to reduce their atherothrombotic risk. The present manuscript provides an overview on the current status of knowledge on platelet function profiles in patients with DM and therapeutic considerations.
