Abstract
BackgroundThe present analysis was designed to investigate the association of type 2 diabetes (T2D) with high sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) during the 5 years of follow-up, and explore which one of fasting blood glucose (FBG) and postprandial blood glucose (PBG) is a determinant of this association in Chinese community-dwelling population.MethodsThis prospective community-based analysis was conducted based on 730 participants without coronary artery disease and hs-cTnT values ≥14 pg/mL receiving two measurements of hs-cTnT levels at baseline and follow-up of 5 years.ResultsPrevalence of T2D was 16.2% (118 participants). Median hs-cTnT levels were 4 (3-7) pg/mL and 6 (5-9) pg/mL at baseline and follow-up, respectively. The variation in hs-cTnT levels had a median of 2 (0-4) pg/ml (p < 0.001 for variation), and incidence of hs-cTnT levels ≥14 pg/ml was 7.1% (52 participants) at follow-up. T2D had a significant association with elevated hs-cTnT levels in multivariate Logistic regression models (p < 0.05). Elevated levels of PBG (p < 0.05) rather than FBG (p > 0.05) determined the significant association with elevated hs-cTnT levels in multivariate linear regression models.ConclusionsThis community-based analysis observed that there was a significant increment of hs-cTnT levels, and baseline T2D had a significant association with elevated hs-cTnT levels during the 5 years of follow-up. Moreover, the present analysis demonstrated that PBG rather than FBG played a crucial role in this association in Chinese community-dwelling population without CAD.
Highlights
The present analysis was designed to investigate the association of type 2 diabetes (T2D) with high sensitivity cardiac troponin T during the 5 years of follow-up, and explore which one of fasting blood glucose (FBG) and postprandial blood glucose (PBG) is a determinant of this association in Chinese community-dwelling population
Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and PBG levels were significantly higher, and HDLc levels were significantly lower, and proportions of age ≥ 60, males, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) and T2D were significantly higher in participants with high sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) levels ≥14 pg/ml than those with hs-cTnT
In Chinese community-dwelling population, the present analysis observed that there was a significant increment of hs-cTnT levels, and baseline T2D had a significant association with elevated hs-cTnT levels during the 5 years of follow-up
Summary
The present analysis was designed to investigate the association of type 2 diabetes (T2D) with high sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) during the 5 years of follow-up, and explore which one of fasting blood glucose (FBG) and postprandial blood glucose (PBG) is a determinant of this association in Chinese community-dwelling population. Limited studies have probed the variation in high sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) levels as well as the association of T2D with elevated hs-cTnT levels in community-dwelling population inclusive of patients with CAD. Small-scale studies on clinical patients restrict the interpretation of relationship between T2D and hs-cTnT in community-dwelling population, and results from western studies can not be directly taken to suggest the association T2D with elevated hs-cTnT levels in China [1, 2]. In this prospective analysis of Chinese community-dwelling population without CAD, Characteristics
