Preclinical Atherosclerosis

AIM: To assess aortic and carotid intima-media thickness (aIMT and cIMT) in diabetic patients.PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study included 75 type 1 diabetic patients and 30 age and sex matched healthy volunteer. A blood sample was taken for analysis of HbA1 and lipid profile and the urine sample was taken for analysis of albumin/ creatinine ratio. aIMT and cIMT via ultrasound were also done.RESULTS: cIMT & aIMT were significantly higher in diabetics. aIMT was found to be significantly higher than cIMT in diabetic patients (0.72 ± 0.11 vs. 0.52 ± 0.06, P = 0.0001). Ten of our patients (14%) with normal cIMT revealed significantly increased aIMT. aIMT had a significant positive correlation with age of patients, waist/hip ratio & cIMT.CONCLUSION: Diabetic patients had increased aIMT and cIMT with a relatively greater increase in the aIMT than in the cIMT. Because atherosclerosis begins first in the intima of the aorta, these data suggest that the aIMT might provide the best currently available noninvasive marker of preclinical atherosclerosis in children. We recommend frequent follow up of diabetic patients for early detection of diabetic complication.

New Finding

Diabetes mellitus is a risk factor for atherosclerosis/cardiovascular diseases. Atherosclerosis in diabetic patients has been linked to increased oxidative stress and intima-media thickness is used to detect its presence. Catalase is involved in hydrogen peroxide catabolism and is important in defense against oxidative stress, which contributes significantly to atherosclerotic processes. There are no data on association of catalase gene genotypes of rs769217 polymorphism and carotid artery intima-media thickness. Therefore, this study investigated the potential association of catalase rs769217 polymorphism and intima media thickness in diabetic patients. Right and left carotid intima-media thickness increased (P≤0.001) in type 1 and type 2 diabetes when it was compared to those of controls. Blood catalase activities of CC genotypes of rs769217 polymorphism in catalase gene were associated with cITT (P<0.043) in type 1 diabetics, type 2 diabetics and in controls. This interesting new finding could suggest that diabetics and controls with CC genotype of rs769217 polymorphism may have higher carotid intima media thickness and higher risks for cardiovascular events when they blood catalase is high. This higher catalase could destroy hydrogen peroxide more effectively thus preventing the signaling action of hydrogen peroxide.
