Abstract

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory disease characterized by a higher burden of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases than in the general population. Altered lipid and glucose metabolic pathways are widely observed, primarily due to chronic inflammation. However, metabolic dysfunction may also affect RA pathogenesis, further enhancing immune cell activation and joint damage. Glucose and lipid alterations observed in RA help define the comorbidity burden of this disease, significantly affecting disease activity and prognosis. The aim of the present review is to describe the role of metabolic dysfunctions in RA and to examine how disease activity and treatments can influence these conditions. We also summarized the main management strategies based on current literature and developed a cardiometabolic monitoring algorithm across different clinical settings to support daily patient care of these patients.

Abstract

Introduction Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) often evades diagnosis before manifestation of clinical symptoms. In this study we explored how cardiometabolic traits influence early cardiac structure and function in asymptomatic people living with diabetes (PwD), using advanced imaging.

Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study of 88 participants: 57 people living with type 2 diabetes (PwT2D), 16 people living with type 1 diabetes (PwT1D) and 15 controls. All subjects underwent transthoracic echocardiography and/or cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging. Strain analysis, perfusion indices, and tissue characterization (T1, T2, and extracellular volume) were assessed. Arterial stiffness via pulse wave velocity (PWV), ventricular-arterial coupling (VAC), circulating biomarkers and liver fibrosis indices were evaluated.

Results PwD had lower cardiac index than controls. Global longitudinal strain (GLS) and global radial strain were lower in both diabetes mellitus (DM) groups, while left atrial strain was most impaired in PwT2D (β-coefficient= − 11.77, P=0.003). DM duration≥10 years was associated with worse GLS (β-coefficient= − 2.18, P=0.033) and right VAC (β-coefficient= − 0.27, P=0.027) after multivariable analysis. While tissue characterization and perfusion indices showed no significant group differences, tight glycemic control in PwD correlated with improved myocardial strain parameters. PwT2D exhib-ited greater arterial stiffness (β-coefficient=1.52, P=0.003). In PwD, elevated non-alcoholic fatty liver disease score cor-related with increased left ventricular mass (β-coefficient=6,195, P=0.022) and decreased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (β-coefficient= − 3.12, P=0.017). Higher growth differentiation factor levels were associated with reduced LVEF (β-coefficient= − 0.005, P=0.029).

Conclusion This multimodal imaging study highlights myocardial and vascular changes in asymptomatic PwD. Early com-prehensive cardiovascular assessment may help identify dysfunction before overt heart failure develops.

Abstract

Aims To describe the main glycemic outcomes and the Quality of Life (QOL) observed in a cohort of people with type 1(T1D) or type 2 (T2D) insulin-treated diabetes under dialysis who started an Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) system.

Methods This is a longitudinal retrospective pilot real-world analysis of 14 individuals with T1D and T2D undergoingdialysis who began using an AID system to optimize glycemic control. All subjects used the MiniMed™ 780G system. Glu-cose metrics were collected at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months after initiating the SmartGuard™ feature. The WHOQoL-Bref questionnaire was administered at the last follow-up to evaluate the QOL.

Results Out of the 14 people, 8 reached 1-year follow-up. Time in Range (TIR) increased from 63% at baseline to 69% at 12 months, Time Below Range <70 mg/dL (TBR70) decreased from 0.3% to 0%, and Time Above Range >250 mg/dL (TAR250) decreased from 6.7% to 3.9%. Seven out of eight subjects who reached a 12-month follow-up achieved all three glycemic targets for this fragile population (TIR>50%, TBR70<1% and TAR250<10%). At the last follow-up, 58.3% of the users were satisfied or very satisfied with their health status, versus only 25% with the previous treatment, and 81.7% had a good or very good QOL, whereas only 8.3% had a good QOL, and no one had a very good QOL with the previous

Conclusion This pilot real-world study showed how the use of an AID system is safe and can help to improve the glycemic outcomes and the QOL of people with diabetes in dialysis.
