    Abstract In cardiovascular (CV) diabetology a "one-size fits-all" approach needs caution as vasculopathy and CV manifestations in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) with short disease duration are different as compared to those with longer duration. This is of relevance when interpreting results of CV outcome trials as responses to any intervention aimed to reduce CV risk might be different in patients with established vasculopathy as compared to those without, where also the duration of the intervention may play a role. Additionally, the mode-of-action of the intervention and its assumed time to peak CV risk modulation need to be taken into account: an intervention with possibly immediate effects, like on blood pressure or other direct functional dynamic parameters such as endothelial function or renal hemodynamics, could likely provide a meaningful impact on CV outcomes over a shorter time span than interventions that primarily target pathways that work on atherosclerotic processes, organ-remodelling, or vessel integrity. We are now faced with CV outcome results to interpret from a plethora of outcomes trials in T2D, some of which are testing the CV risk modulation predominantly beyond glucose lowering, e.g., as is the case for several trials testing the newer therapy classes di-peptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors, glucagon-like protein-1 receptor analogues and sodium glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors, and this paper reviews the data that support a call for a multiaxial approach to interpret these results.

    Abstract Aims: Currently, no incident heart failure (HF) risk score that is in regular use in a general population is available. We aimed to develop this and compare with existing HF risk scores.
    Methods and results: Participants in the third wave (2006-08) of the population-based Trøndelag Health Study 3 (HUNT3) were included if they reported no previous HF. Any hospital diagnoses captured during follow-up (until the end of 2018) of HF, cardiomyopathy, or hypertensive heart disease were assessed by an experienced cardiologist. Valid HF events were defined as symptoms/signs of HF and objective evidence of structural/functional abnormality of the heart at rest. The model was compared with slightly modified HF risk scores (the Health Aging and Body Composition HF risk score, the Framingham HF risk score, the Pooled Cohort equations to Prevent HF risk score, and NORRISK 2). Among 36 511 participants (mean ± SD age of 57.9 ± 13.3 years, 55.4% female), with a mean follow-up of 10.2 ± 1.3 years, 1366 developed HF (incidence rate of 3.66 per 1000 participant years). Out of the 38 relevant clinical variables assessed, we identified 12 (atrial fibrillation being the strongest) that independently predicted an HF event. The final model demonstrated good discrimination (C statistics = 0.904) and calibration, was stable in internal validation, and performed well compared with existing risk scores. The model identified that, at enrolment, 31 391 (86%), 2386 (7%), 1246 (3%), and 1488 (4%) had low, low-intermediate, high-intermediate, and high 10-year HF risk, respectively.
    Conclusions: Twelve clinical variables independently predicted 10-year HF risk. The model may serve well as the foundation of a practical, online risk score for HF in general practice.

    Abstract Background: Early mobilization after total hip replacement (THR) is key for fast recovery but is often limited by pain. Oral enzyme combinations (OECs) have demonstrated anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects.
    Objectives and design: This prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled exploratory trial evaluated the effects of pre- and post-operative use of OEC (90 mg bromelain, 48 mg trypsin, 100 mg rutoside) following elective THR, on post-operative recovery.
    Methods: Candidates for primary elective cementless THR owing to osteoarthritis were eligible for participation [age ⩾50 years, body mass index 25-35 kg/m
    Results: Patients (
    Conclusions: Pre- and post-operative use of OEC significantly reduced CRP levels and patient self-reported pain. OEC may be an efficacious and safe treatment option to facilitate post-operative recovery following THR.

    Abstract Aim: The effects of weight loss with a partial or total meal replacement programme (MRP) on atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk factors are not fully understood, in particular in people at higher CV risk. In the 52-week randomized controlled OPTIWIN study in men and women with obesity, meal replacement programme (total for first 26 weeks, partial for the ensuing 26 weeks) with OPTIFAST (OP) resulted in significantly greater weight loss compared with a low-calorie food-based (FB) dietary plan, both as part of a comprehensive lifestyle intervention [OP (n = 135)/FB (n = 138) week 26: -12.4%/-6.0%, p < .001; week 52: -10.5%/-5.5%, p < .001]. Here, we examined effects on ASCVD risk factors and 10-year ASCVD risk.
    Materials and methods: Participants with body mass index 30-55 kg/m
    Results: Baseline characteristics were well balanced (OP/FB females 86%/79%, mean age 47/47 years, body mass index 38.4/39.2 kg/m
    Conclusions: In people with obesity at low ASCVD risk, OP significantly reduced cardiovascular risk factors and 10-year predicted risk for ASCVD.

    Abstract Cognitive dysfunction is increasingly recognized as an important comorbidity of type 2 diabetes (T2D). We aimed to establish if the risk of accelerated cognitive decline (ACD) is higher in females with T2D than males.3163 participants (38% female) with T2D from the cognition substudy of CAROLINA® (NCT01243424) were included (mean age 64.4 ± 9.2 years; T2D duration 7.6 ± 6.1 years). The cognitive outcome was occurrence of ACD at end of follow-up, defined as a regression based index score ≤16th percentile on either the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) or a composite measure of attention and executive functioning (Trail Making and Verbal Fluency Test). Potential confounders, were taken into account at an individual patient level. Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate ACD risk by sex. We assessed potential mediators for sex differences in ACD using Causal Mediation Analysis (CMA). After a median follow-up duration of 6.1 ± 0.7 years, 361 (30.0%) females compared to 494 (25.2%) males exhibited ACD (OR 1.27 [95%CI 1.08–1.49], p = .003). Depressive symptoms, which were more common in females (24.3% vs 12.5%), mediated between sex and ACD (mediation effect 20.3%, p = 0.03). There were no other significant mediators.Females with T2D had a higher risk of ACD compared to males. This was partly explained by depressive symptoms. After evaluation of vascular and diabetes-related risk factors, complications and treatment, a major share of the higher risk of ACD in females remained unexplained. Our results highlight the need for further research on causes of sex-specific ACD in T2D.

    Abstract Importance: Previous studies have reported an association between hypoglycemia and cardiovascular (CV) events in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D), but it is unclear if this association is causal or identifies a high-risk patient phenotype.
    Objective: To evaluate the associations between hypoglycemia and CV outcomes.
    Design, setting, and participants: This secondary analysis was a post hoc assessment of the multinational, double-blind CARMELINA (Cardiovascular and Renal Microvascular Outcome Study With Linagliptin; 2013-2016) and CAROLINA (Cardiovascular Outcome Trial of Linagliptin vs Glimepiride in Type 2 Diabetes; 2010-2018) randomized clinical trials of the antihyperglycemic drug, linagliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor. Participants were adults with T2D at high CV risk with or without high kidney risk. By design, participants in the CARMELINA trial had longer duration of T2D and had a higher CV risk than participants in the CAROLINA trial. Data analyses were conducted between June 2021 and June 2023.
    Intervention: Linagliptin or placebo in the CARMELINA trial, and linagliptin or glimepiride in the CAROLINA trial.
    Main outcomes and measures: The primary outcome for both trials was CV death, myocardial infarction (MI), or stroke (3-point major adverse CV events [3P-MACE]). For the present analyses, hospitalization for heart failure (HF) was added. Hypoglycemia was defined as plasma glucose less than 54 mg/dL or severe hypoglycemia (episodes requiring the assistance of another person). Associations between the first hypoglycemic episode and subsequent CV events and between nonfatal CV events (MI, stroke, hospitalization for HF) and subsequent hypoglycemic episodes were assessed using multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models. Sensitivity analyses explored the risk of CV events within 60 days after each hypoglycemic episode.
    Results: In the CARMELINA trial (6979 patients; 4390 males [62.9%]; mean [SD] age, 65.9 [9.1] years), there was an association between hypoglycemia and subsequent 3P-MACE plus hospitalization for HF (hazard ratio [HR], 1.23; 95% CI, 1.04-1.46) as well as between nonfatal CV events and subsequent hypoglycemia (HR, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.06-1.83). In the CAROLINA trial (6033 patients; 3619 males (60.0%); mean [SD] age, 64.0 [9.5] years), there was no association between hypoglycemia and subsequent 3P-MACE plus hospitalization for HF (HR, 1.00; 95% CI, 0.76-1.32) and between nonfatal CV events and subsequent hypoglycemia (HR, 1.44; 95% CI, 0.96-2.16). In analyses of CV events occurring within 60 days after hypoglycemia, there was either no association or too few events to analyze.
    Conclusions and relevance: This study found bidirectional associations between hypoglycemia and CV outcomes in the CARMELINA trial but no associations in either direction in the CAROLINA trial, challenging the notion that hypoglycemia causes adverse CV events. The findings from the CARMELINA trial suggest that both hypoglycemia and CV events more likely identify patients at high risk for both.

    Abstract Background: The Epitomee Capsule (EC) is an, oral, self-use, bio-degradable device for weight management, composed of absorbent polymers that self-expands in the stomach (pH-sensitive) and creates a triangular shape, space-occupying super-absorbent gel structure. A recent study reported that 42 % of study completers obtained >5 % weight reduction at 12 weeks. We performed exploratory analyses of this study to evaluate its effect on cardiovascular risk factors and on self-reported satiety, between-meal snacking and meal-size.
    Methods: This single-center observational study (Israel) enrolled 78 volunteers, with mean age 41 years, BMI 32.5 kg/m
    Result: Compared to baseline, at 12 weeks, SBP/DBP were reduced (ΔSBP: -5.5 mmHg, p = 0.0003/ΔDBP: -1.9 mmHg, p = 0.1341), with a larger effect in people with hypertension at baseline (ΔSBP: -13.2 mmHg, p < 0.00001/ΔDBP: -6.1, p = 0.008). Triglyceride-level was also significantly reduced, but not other lipids. Mean scores to Q1-3 were high throughout, with slight decreases (Q1 at W2 3.9 ± 1.1/W12 3.0 ± 1.6; Q2 at W2 3.7 ± 1.1/W12 3.1 ± 1.6; Q3 at W2 3.8 ± 1.2/W12 2.9 ± 1.6). There was a moderate correlation between PROs and weight reduction, although significance was not observed for all weeks.
    Conclusions: Exploratory analyses of 12 weeks treatment with EC demonstrated significant reductions in SBP, DBP, and triglycerides. The weight reduction correlated with satiety, less snacking, and reduced meal size.
