Cumulative HbA1c Exposure as a CVD Risk in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: a Post Hoc Analysis of ACCORD Trial

Cumulative HbA1c Exposure as a CVD Risk in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: a Post Hoc Analysis of ACCORD Trial

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37952600/

Higher cumulative HbA1c exposure was significantly associated with an increased risk of the primary outcome, all-cause mortality and cardiovascular death among T2D patients.

Participants in the intensive-therapy group with high baseline HbA1c and cumulative HbA1c exposure had a significantly higher risk of primary outcome, all-cause mortality, and CV-related death.

Use of MHT in Women With Cardiovascular Disease: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Use of MHT in Women With Cardiovascular Disease: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37933495/

This systematic review assesses the effect of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) on cardiovascular outcomes and risk factors in postmenopausal women with cardiovascular disease (CVD).

No significant differences were observed between MHT users and controls regarding primary outcomes of nonfatal MI, CV-related death, or stroke. No differences in frequency of angina, HF, and TIAs were observed.

Improvement in Serum Magnesium Levels With Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors

Improvement in Serum Magnesium Levels With Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors

Source : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10578385/

Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are associated with a modest but significant increase in serum magnesium levels.

SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with diabetes mellitus have been efficacious for glycemic control, renal protection, decreasing the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease events, and reducing cardiac mortality.
