Predictors and prevention of diabetic cardiomyopathy

Abstract: Despite our cognizance that diabetes can enhance the chances of heart failure, causes multiorgan failure,and contributes to morbidity and mortality, it is rapidly increasing menace worldwide. Less attention has been paid to alert prediabetics through determining the comprehensive predictors of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) and ameliorating DCM using novel approaches. DCM is recognized as asymptomatic progressing structural and functional remodeling in the heart of diabetics, in the absence of coronary atherosc… Show more

“…In our study, we observed that the polymorphism was nominally (P < 0.041) associated with higher risk of myocardial infarction in type 2 diabetes subjects. This would be in line with previous studies that have reported higher apoptosis in type 2 diabetic subjects [33,34,55], greater association between increased heart rate and cardiovascular morbid-mortality in type-2 diabetes subjects [29,30,56] and with studies showing that apoptosis in cardiomyocytes is a very important risk factor in triggering myocardial infarction [57,58]. However, in our study this association did not remain statistically significant after correction for multiple comparisons.…”

“…The different roles of miR-133a in β-AR activation in diabetic and pressure-overload hearts suggest that miR-133a may normalize the contractility of diabetic hearts by targeting other upstream signaling molecules that activate β-AR in diabetic hearts. Another reason could be that the metabolic conditions in the diabetic heart differ from those in other failing hearts (9). Further, we overexpressed miR-133a in rats by delivering miR-133a mimic, whereas miR-133aTg mice were used in the pressure-overload model (27).…”

“…Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a complex disease caused due to insufficient insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells (type 1 DM) and/or insulin resistance (type 2 DM) that results in an increased blood glucose level leading to morbidity and death (9). The number of patients with DM is increasing at an alarming rate in the world (10,11); however, the causes for the increased prevalence of DM and DM-mediated cardiomyopathy are poorly understood.…”
