To support the use of NT-proBNP to better detect heart failure in patients with type 2 diabetes
ConclusionThese determinants might contribute to investigate the NT-proBNP in T2DM sufferers. A decision support system to appropriately ease the prescription of NT-proBNP might be therefore implemented in primary care settings.

The benefit of GLP-1RA in different age groups in the cardiovascular outcome trials
Among the United States population, the percentage of adults aged ≥65 years with diabetes is 26.8% [1]. Older adults with diabetes are at increased risk for coronary artery disease, stroke, and premature death compared to those without diabetes, and they are at a greater risk of hypoglycemia compared to younger adults [2]. In addition, older adults are at increa sed risk for polypharmacy, cognitive impairment, and injurious falls [3], which has led practice guidelines to recommend a less stringent glycemic goal in older adults [2].

Cardiovascular Programming During and After Diabetic Pregnancy: Role of Placental Dysfunction and IUGR
This study demonstrated that the incidence of ischemic heart disease and death were three times higher among men with low birth weight compared to men with high birth weight (5). Epidemiological investigations of adults born at the time of the Dutch famine between 1944 and 1945 revealed an association between maternal starvation and a low infant birth weight with a high incidence of hypertension and coronary heart disease in these adults (23). Furthermore, Painter et al. reported the incidence of early onset coronary heart disease among persons conceived during the Dutch famine (24). In that regard, Barker's findin...

Cardiovascular risk profiles in Type 2 diabetes and the impact of geographical setting.
Authors: Smith-Palmer J, Boye KS, Perez-Nieves M, Valentine W, Bae JP Abstract Cardiovascular (CV) disease is a leading morbidity and mortality in Type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Previous studies have shown geographic differences in the prevalence of CV and renal diseases. A literature review of longitudinal (≥5 years) studies including ≥1000 T2DM patients and reporting CV endpoints was performed to compare risk profiles. Key differences between geographies included a relatively higher prevalence of microalbuminuria in East Asian relative to North American and European patients, which in turn is an important CV risk fa...

Diabetes risk scores for Hispanics living in the United States: A systematic review
The prevalence of diabetes is increasing worldwide [1 –3]. Diabetes and its vascular complications are the seventh leading cause of disability worldwide and contribute to the deaths of two million adults per year [4]. Type 2 diabetes is the most common type affecting 90–95% of those with diabetes and may be asymptomatic for years [5]. Uncontrolled diabetes leads to microvascular (e.g., neuropathy, nephropathy, retinopathy) and macrovascular (e.g., myocardial infarction, stroke) complications and may increase mortality risk [6,7].

Pre-stroke glycemia in patients with diabetes
Conclusion Insulin treatment and hyperlipidemia are associated with higher HbA1c levels in acute stroke patients with T2D. Poor adherence to diabetes treatment is associated with higher HbA1c levels only among patients with HbA1c ≥8%.
