Abstract
BACKGROUND Precision medicine has the potential to improve cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk prediction in individuals with Type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of longitudinal studies to identify potentially novel prognostic factors that may improve CVD risk prediction in T2D. Out of 9380 studies identified, 416 studies met inclusion criteria. Outcomes were reported for 321 biomarker studies, 48 genetic marker studies, and 47 risk score/model studies. RESULTS Out of all evaluated biomarkers, only 13 showed improvement in prediction performance. Results of pooled meta-analyses, non-pooled analyses, and assessments of improvement in prediction performance and risk of bias, yielded the highest predictive utility for N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) (high-evidence), troponin-T (TnT) (moderate-evidence), triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index (moderate-evidence), Genetic Risk Score for Coronary Heart Disease (GRS-CHD) (moderate-evidence); moderate predictive utility for coronary computed tomography angiography (low-evidence), single-photon emission computed tomography (low-evidence), pulse wave velocity (moderate-evidence); and low predictive utility for C-reactive protein (moderate-evidence), coronary artery calcium score (low-evidence), galectin-3 (low-evidence), troponin-I (low-evidence), carotid plaque (low-evidence), and growth differentiation factor-15 (low-evidence). Risk scores showed modest discrimination, with lower performance in populations different from the original development cohort. CONCLUSIONS Despite high interest in this topic, very few studies conducted rigorous analyses to demonstrate incremental predictive utility beyond established CVD risk factors for T2D. The most promising markers identified were NT-proBNP, TnT, TyG and GRS-CHD, with the highest strength of evidence for NT-proBNP. Further research is needed to determine their clinical utility in risk stratification and management of CVD in T2D.

Diagnostic and prognostic significance of transient ischemic dilation (TID) in myocardial perfusion imaging: A systematic review and meta-analysis. J Nucl Cardiol 2018; 25:724-737. [PMID: 28948540 PMCID: PMC5966496 DOI: 10.1007/s12350-017-1040-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2016] [Accepted: 06/06/2017] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Transient ischemic dilatation (TID) of the left ventricle is a potential marker of high risk obstructive coronary artery disease on stress myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). There is, however, interstudy variation in the diagnostic performance of TID for identification of severe and extensive coronary disease anatomy, and varied prognostic implications in the published literature. METHODS We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and COCHRANE databases for studies where TID was compared with invasive or CT coronary angiography for evaluation of coronary artery stenosis. Two reviewers independently evaluated and abstracted data from each study. A bivariate random effects model was used to derive pooled sensitivities and specificities, in order to account for correlation between TID in MPI and anatomic disease severity. RESULTS A total of 525 articles were reviewed, of which 51 met inclusion criteria. Thirty-one studies contributed to the analysis, representing a total of 2037 patients in the diagnostic meta-analysis and 9003 patients in the review of prognosis. The ratio above which TID was deemed present ranged from 1.13 to 1.38. Pooled sensitivity was 44% (95% CI 30%-60%) and specificity was 88% (95% CI 83%-92%) for the detection of extensive or severe anatomic coronary artery disease. Analysis of outcome data demonstrated increased cardiac event rates in patients with TID and an abnormal MPI. In otherwise normal perfusion, TID is an indicator of poor prognosis in patients with diabetes and/or a history of coronary disease. CONCLUSIONS Among patients undergoing MPI, the presence of TID is specific for the detection of extensive or severe coronary artery disease.
