Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases (in particular, heart failure) and creates a significant financial burden for society. At the same time, the immune mechanisms underlying the comorbid course of T2DM and heart failure (HF) remain poorly understood. Materials and methods. The study was conducted with the involvement of 147 patients with T2DM, who were divided into 2 groups: 120 patients with T2DM + HF comorbidity and 27 patients with T2DM alone. The immune response of the organism was determined by the detection of markers of inflammation and myocardial remodelling (galectin-3, sST2, CRP) and inflammation indices (NLR, PLR, SII, SIRI). Endothelial function was determined by
the FMD method. Results. In the group of patients with T2DM and HF (n=120), there was no statistically significant difference in age (59.50 [54.00; 66.00] vs. 57.00 [51.00; 64.00] years, p=0.173) and gender distribution (p=0.746) compared with the group of patients with T2DM alone (n=27). At the same time, comorbid patients had a higher BMI (28.19 [25.75; 31.31] kg/m² vs. 26.65 [23.49; 28.30] kg/m²; p=0.013) and a tendency to have increased SBP and DBP, as well as a significant increase in markers of myocardial remodelling (galectin-3, sST2) and inflammation (CRP). Inflammation indices — NLR, PLR, SII and SIRI — were
also significantly higher in the group with T2DM + HF. In addition, patients with combined pathology had more severe endothelial dysfunction (FMD=8.08 [6.67; 10.02]%) compared with patients with T2DM alone (10.66 [9.02; 12.12]%; p<0.001). Conclusions. Concomitant heart failure in patients with T2DM is associated with increased systemic inflammation (higher NLR, PLR, SII, SIRI, sST2, galectin-3 and CRP) and worsening
of endothelial dysfunction.
