Background: Diabetes mellitus type 1 (DM1) and type 2 (DM2) are well-established risk factors for cardiovascular disease but differ pathophysiologically in that DM1 results from insulin deficiency, whereas DM2 results from insulin insensitivity. The association between DM1 and DM2 and cardiovascular events remains undetermined.
Methods: For DM1 or DM2 patients aged 46 to 75 years receiving care at outpatient facilities with primary care and/or endocrinology enrolled in the National Cardiovascular Data Registry Veradigm Metabolic Registry 2017-2022, we compared the prevalence of incident cardiovascular events including myocardial infarction, percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass grafting, stroke, carotid revascularization, limb ischemia, and peripheral revascularization.
Results: The study population included 5823 DM1 patients (3.59%) and 156,204 DM2 patients (95.41%) with a total of 758,643 visits. DM1 patients were younger and had fewer comorbidities. A total of 11,096 incident cardiovascular events occurred with a prevalence ratio (PR) of 0.63 (95% CI, 0.55-0.71) for fewer events associated with DM1 than DM2. After adjustment for age, the PR was 0.66 (95% CI, 0.58-0.74). When analyzed by separate cardiovascular events, DM1 was associated with less myocardial infarction, percutaneous coronary intervention, stroke, and limb ischemia than DM2. Overall cardiovascular event probability was lower in DM1 than in DM2 across all 10-year age categories, in both female and male patients, before and during/after the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, and after adjustment for comorbidities, hemoglobin A1c, and serum creatinine.
Conclusions: DM1 was associated with a lower probability of incident cardiovascular events than DM2. Although DM1 may carry a lower risk of incident cardiovascular events than DM2, the pathophysiology, prevention, and treatment of cardiovascular disease in DM1 remain poorly understood.

Background: Limited treatment options exist for infrapopliteal disease in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), a condition associated with a high risk of limb loss. Interventional management of diseased infrapopliteal vessels with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is associated with high rates of restenosis and reintervention. In the LIFE-BTK trial, the drug-eluting resorbable scaffold (DRS) demonstrated superior 12-month efficacy compared with PTA in a selected CLTI population with predominantly noncomplex, mildly to moderately calcified lesions.

Aims: Cardiogenic shock remains a significant cause of mortality despite multiple advancements in medical interventions. Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) provides crucial circulatory support but also increases left ventricular (LV) after-load, potentially worsening outcomes. Effective LV unloading strategies can enhance patient survival during VA-ECMO treatment.

Aims: Atrial fibrillation (AF) may be associated with adverse influenza-related outcomes. We assessed the relative vaccine effectiveness (rVE) of high-dose (HD-IIV) vs. standard-dose (SD-IIV) inactivated influenza vaccination against cardiovascular and all-cause hospitalizations and all-cause mortality according to history of AF.

Background: The incidence of unstable angina (UA), a type of cardiovascular disease (CVD), has increased in recent years. Meanwhile, timely percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) procedures are crucial for patients with UA who also have diabetes mellitus (DM). Additionally, exploring other factors that may influence the prognosis of these patients could provide long-term benefits.

Background: Limited data are available regarding the prevalence of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), particularly Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR), in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the prevalence of SDB and CSR, as well as the factors associated with these conditions, in patients with AF without LV systolic dysfunction.
Methods: Patients with paroxysmal and non-paroxysmal AF underwent echocardiography and cardiorespiratory polygraphy.
