Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the effects of levosimendan on cardiac function, hemodynamics, and body inflammation of patients with acute myocardial infarction and heart failure. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on 113 acute myocardial infarction patients with heart failure (admitted to Xianyang First People's Hospital from September 2018 to January 2022). According to the treatment plan, patients were categorized into a control group (n = 53) (treated with conventional diuresis and vasodilation) and observation group (n = 60) (treated with levosimendan in addition to the treatment of the control group). Indexes were compared between the two groups before and after treatment, including effectiveness rate, mean pulmonary arterial pressure (PAMP) and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP). Left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were monitored before and after treatment by color Doppler ultrasonography. Serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels were measured before and after treatment. Logistic analysis was applied to screen independent factors affecting treatment efficacy. Adverse reactions and life quality after 6 months of treatment were compared between the two groups. RESULTS The overall response rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). Changes in PAMP and PCWP in the two groups before and after treatment were significantly different. Patients in the observation group had improved indicators compared with the control group (all P<0.05). After treatment, the cardiac function indexes and inflammation-related factors of the observation group were improved more than those of the control group (P<0.05). Patients in the observation group had a lower incidence of adverse reactions and a higher life quality 6 months after treatment compared to the control group (P<0.05). Diabetes and treatment regimen were independent risk factors affecting treatment efficacy by logistic regression analysis. CONCLUSION The administration of levosimendan helps improve cardiac function, hemodynamics, and body inflammation in patients with acute myocardial infarction and heart failure, with fewer adverse reactions and higher safety.

Abstract
Restenosis, defined as the re-narrowing of an arterial lumen after revascularization, represents an increasingly important issue in clinical practice. Indeed, as the number of stent placements has risen to an estimate that exceeds 3 million annually worldwide, revascularization procedures have become much more common. Several investigators have demonstrated that vessels in patients with diabetes mellitus have an increased risk restenosis. Here we present a systematic overview of the effects of diabetes on in-stent restenosis. Current classification and updated epidemiology of restenosis are discussed, alongside the main mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology of this event. Then, we summarize the clinical presentation of restenosis, emphasizing the importance of glycemic control in diabetic patients. Indeed, in diabetic patients who underwent revascularization procedures a proper glycemic control remains imperative.

Sex-specific impact of diabetes on all-cause mortality among adults with acute myocardial infarction: An updated systematic review and meta-analysis, 1988-2021. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2022; 13:918095. [PMID: 36060979 PMCID: PMC9428712 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2022.918095] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2022] [Accepted: 07/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of diabetes and its impact on mortality after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are well-established. Sex-specific analyses of the impact of diabetes on all-cause mortality after AMI have not been updated and comprehensively investigated. OBJECTIVE To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis that examined sex-specific short-term, mid-term and long-term all-cause mortality associated with diabetes among AMI survivors (diabetes versus non-diabetes patients in men and women separately), using up-to-date data. METHODS We systematically searched Embase and MEDLINE for studies that were published from inception to November 14, 2021. Studies were included if (1) they studied post-AMI all-cause-mortality in patients with and without diabetes, (2) sex-specific all-cause mortality at short-term (in-hospital or within 90 days after discharge), mid-term (>90 days and within 5 years), and/or long-term (>5 years) were reported. From eligible studies, we used random effects meta-analyses models to estimate pooled unadjusted and adjusted sex-specific risk ratio (RR) of all-cause mortality at short-, mid-, and long-term follow-up for adults with diabetes compared with those without diabetes. RESULTS Of the 3647 unique studies identified, 20 studies met inclusion criteria. In the unadjusted analysis (Total N=673,985; women=34.2%; diabetes patients=19.6%), patients with diabetes were at a higher risk for all-cause mortality at short-term (men: RR, 2.06; women: RR, 1.83); and mid-term follow-up (men: RR, 1.69; women: RR, 1.52) compared with those without diabetes in both men and women. However, when adjusted RRs were used (Total N=7,144,921; women=40.0%; diabetes patients=28.4%), the associations between diabetes and all-cause mortality in both men and women were attenuated, but still significantly elevated for short-term (men: RR, 1.16; 95% CI, 1.12-1.20; women: RR, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.15-1.46), mid-term (men: RR, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.31-1.46; women: RR, 1.38; 95% CI, 1.20-1.58), and long-term mortality (men: RR, 1.58; 95% CI, 1.22-2.05; women: RR, 1.76; 95% CI, 1.25-2.47). In men, all-cause mortality risk associated with diabetes tended to increase with the duration of follow-up (p<0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Diabetes has substantial and sustained effects on post-AMI all-cause mortality at short-term, mid-term and long-term follow-up, regardless of sex. Tailoring AMI treatment based on patients' diabetes status, duration of follow-up and sex may help narrow the gap in all-cause mortality between patients with diabetes and those without diabetes.
