Endothelial Dysfunction and Low-Grade Inflammation Explain Much of the Excess Cardiovascular Mortality in Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes: The Hoorn Study
Open accessAbstract
Objective— The mechanisms responsible for the increased cardiovascular disease risk that accompanies type 2 diabetes (T2D) remain poorly understood. It is commonly held that endothelial dysfunction and low-grade inflammation can explain, at least in part, why deteriorating glucose tolerance is associated with cardiovascular disease. However, there is no direct evidence for this contention. Methods and Results— In this population-based study (n=631), T2D was cross-sectionally associated with both endothelial dysfunction and low-grade inflammation, whereas impaired glucose metabolism (IGM) was associated only with low-grade inflammation. These findings were independent of other risk factors that accompany T2D or IGM. During a follow-up of 11.7 years (median; range 0.5 to 13.2 years), low-grade inflammation was associated with a greater risk of cardiovascular mortality (hazard ratio, 1.43 [95% CI, 1.17 to 1.77] per 1 SD difference). For endothelial dysfunction, the association with cardiovascular mortality was stronger in diabetic (hazard ratio, 1.87 [95% CI, 1.43 to 2.45]) than in nondiabetic individuals (hazard ratio, 1.23 [95% CI, 0.86 to 1.75]; P interaction=0.06). Finally, T2D-associated endothelial dysfunction and low-grade inflammation explained ≈43% of the increase in cardiovascular mortality risk conferred by T2D. Conclusions— These data emphasize the necessity of randomized controlled trials of strategies that aim to decrease cardiovascular disease risk by improving endothelial function and decreasing low-grade inflammation, especially for T2D patients.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
