ASSESSMENT OF SITAGLIPTIN INFLUENCE ON ARTERIAL WALL STIFFNESS, RENAL FUNCTION AND RENAL CIRCULATION IN CARDIOVSCULAR PATIENTS WITH DECOMPENSATED TYPE 2 DIABETES

Abstract

Aim. To study dynamics of stiffness parameters in various type arteries, renal function and renal circulation in arterial hypertension (AH) and ischemic heart disease (CHD ) with decompensated 2 type diabetes mellitus (DM2) on the sitagliptin therapy during 24 weeks.Material and methods. Totally 30 patients included, with decompensated DM2 (HbA1c >7%) and AH, most having also CHD. The dynamics of carbohydrate and lipid metabolisms were assessed, arterial wall stiffness in various structural and functional types, renal function and renal circulation at the background of sitagliptine therapy during 24 weeks.Results. There was no dynamics by the parameters of arterial wall stiffness in various types of arteries, as in renal function and renal circulation among the patients in sitagliptin (n=15) and comparison (n=15) groups. However in those achieved compensation of DM2 on sitagliptin (n=8) we found a decrease of stiffnes index β of brachial artery (muscular type) by 37% from baseline (p<0,01). There was no dynamics of stiffness in muscle-elastic or muscular types of arteries.Conclusion. In patients with hipertension disease and ischemic heart disease with DM2 on glucoselowering therapy there was no dynamics by the parameters of aortic, common caritid artery stiffness and renal circulation during 6 months followup. However on the therapy by dipeptidilpeptidase-4 inhibitor (sitagliptin) during 6 months and compensation of DM2 (HbA1c <7%) there was a decrease of brachial artery stiffness (muscular type).
