Diabetes mellitus Type 2 (DMT2) - a progressive insulin secretory defect on the background of insulin resistance - is one of the major risk factors for atherosclerosis, an inflammatory disease of the arterial wall, in which leukocytes and oxidized lipoproteins accumulate leading to formation of
The objective of this study is to compare the risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) associated with the use of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in comparison with the use of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors among patients with type 2 diabetes.

1. We are aiming to establish a marker for chronic reactivation and pathophysiology of CMV infection in patients with coronary artery disease.
2. We will be able to answer whether there is a link between the seropositive CMV, telomere length, and CAD.
3. We will correlate the seropositive CMV with
Type 2 diabetes mellitus remains a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease with an estimated 425 million adults worldwide having diabetes in 2017, with type 2 diabetes mellitus accounting for about 90% of the cases. Recent evidence indicates that certain glucose-lowering therapies are
ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is an acute manifestation of coronary heart disease, remaining a frequent cause of death.A better understanding of risk factors and pathogenic mechanisms underlying STEMI may help improve the prognosis and life quality of these patients.Dipeptidyl
Background:
Patients with symptoms and signs of ischemia are referred to coronary angiography (CAG) or CT angiography (CT-CAG). A significant proportion of these patients and especially women appear to have no obstructive coronary stenosis. Patients with angina-like symptoms and no macrovascular
APPROACH:
Overview of Study Design: This is a double-masked, randomized, placebo-controlled pilot study of treatment sitagliptin (100mg/day) to suppress monocyte/macrophage activation in obese non-diabetic participants. 16 abdominally obese18-40 year-old largely minorities will be randomized 3:1 to
The cardiovascular safety and potential cardioprotective effects of diabetes drugs have been the focus of recent research. Currently, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires all new anti-diabetic drugs to demonstrate no important increase in cardiovascular adverse events before
Background:
Canagliflozin is a new oral drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and is one of four recently FDA approved sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, which target renal glucose reabsorption and offer promising improvement in HbA1c. In the approval process,
1. Background Complications of diabetes could cause death from stroke and myocardial infarction, and it is the chronic disease that leads to foot amputation, blindness and renal failure. According to the data of Statistics Korea, the prevalence rate of diabetes for people over 30 years old
Randomized clinical trial,double-blinded,placebo-controlled, in a single center, to assess the influence of DPP4-i on platelet aggregability in type 2 diabetic patients with acute myocardial infarction in use of dual anti platelet therapy (DAPT) .
Others exploratory analysis include:glycemic control
T2DM in the young
T2DM has traditionally been associated with older age, with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) being the dominant form in younger populations. This traditional profile has dramatically altered over the last couple of decades; the sharp rise in levels of obesity and sedentary lifestyles
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic progressive disease characterized by hyperglycemia that result from pancreatic islet dysfunction. Presently available oral antihypoglycemic drug improves glycemic control over the short term, none has been shown to stop the progressive decline in beta
After food intake, insulin secretion depends not only on the degree of glycemia, but also on the secretion and insulinotropic effect of the gut hormones, gastric inhibitory polypeptide (or glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide; GIP) and glucagon-like polypeptide 1 (GLP-1), known as incretins.
