					Donna Mojdami, PGY5      Understand myocardial energy metabolism Examine the effects of hyperglycemia in the post-MI state Understand the “glucose hypothesis” and the role for insulin Assess some of the major trials in glycemic management during ACS and their results Examine the DIGAMI trials  Two major forms of cellular energy production  Glycolysis – anaerobic process  Byproducts are pyruvate and lactic acid  Oxidative phosphorylation – aerobic process  Occurs in the mitochondria  Involves the Krebs cycle and electron transport chain  Byproducts are CO2 and H2O  Primarily oxidative phosphorylation     Aerobic process Takes place in the mitochondria Utilizes the Krebs cycle and electron transport chain Generates ATP, H2O and CO2  Myocardium uses two major substrates for energy production: 1) Glucose 2) Free fatty acids  FFAs are the main source of acetyl-CoA under normal conditions     FFAs support 60% of total energy demand Ketone bodies support 27% of total energy demand Lactate supports 12% of total energy demand Glucose contributes <1%  Under conditions of limited O2 and perfusion (e.g. ischemia) myocardium switches from aerobic metabolism to glycolysis  Anaerobic process  Substrate is glucose from blood stream or from glycogen stores  Byproducts include pyruvate and lactic acid  Requires less O2 than oxidation of FFAs   Onset of ischemia associated with very rapid loss of intracellular K+ Shift believed to be mediated by ATP-sensitive potassium channels     Studies in myocytes have shown glycolysis to prevent opening of potassium channels Maintains mitochondrial function during ischemia and reperfusion Prevents myocardial contracture Improved membrane phospholipid synthesis   Hyperglycemia causes an osmotic diuresis that reduces intravascular volume Glucose promotes inflammation, an important factor in the pathogenesis of ACS  Activates transcription factors that promote expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines  Hyperglycemia promotes coagulation  Prolongs fibrinogen half-life, increases pro-thrombin fragments, factor VII Glucose iNOS - Induces myocardial depression eNOS - Prevents: - microvascular permeability - capillary leakage - leuk adhesion & activation - intravascular coagulation & thrombosis   Hyperglycemia is an independent predictor of abnormal coronary vasodilation Hyperglycemia promotes oxidative stress  Excess glucose shifted to polyol pathway which generates superoxide radicals  Radicals inactivate ATP production & promote more radical production  U.S. registry of 141,680 patients ≥65 years presenting with ACS 30.00% 25.00% 20.00% * Blood Glucose at Admission (mmol/L) 15.00% 10.00% 5.00% 0.00% Kosiborod et al. Circulation 2005; 111:3078-86 * 74% previously diagnosed with DM, but DM diagnosed in minority of cases in other groups  Hyperglycemia associated with increased in-hospital mortality  Relationship stronger in non-diabetics than diabetics  Non-diabetics BG 6.1-8mmol/L 3.9 fold higher risk of mortality  An increase in BG by 1mmol/L associated with 4% increase in mortality over 50 months after MI Stranders et al. Arch Int Med 2004; 164:982-8  In non-diabetics admission BG also associated with increased morbidity  Reinfarction  Hospitalizaton with heart failure  Adverse ventricular remodelling    Not necessarily! Admission BG is not an independent predictor of an abnormal OGTT In those with BG >11.1mmol/L, DM only diagnosed in 50% and IGT in only 69%   Post MI catecholamine response occurs during first 5 days after event Catecholamine response proportional to size of infarct  Faster heart rate  Poorer Killip class  Lower EF on discharge  Hyperglycemia may be an epiphenomenon  Associated with larger infarction  Associated with HF on admission  In STEMI, admission hyperglycemia independently associated with  Incomplete resolution of ST segment elevation  Persistent occlusion of artery  Reduced microvascular myocardial perfusion  Not affected by HbA1c and previous diagnosis of DM 25% 20% 15% Acute Hyperglycemia Normoglycemia 10% 5% 0% Death - 1720 subjects post AMI, 72% received PCI Ishihara et al. Am Heart J., 2005; 150:814-20 MACE 16% P = NS 14% 12% P = NS 10% 8% Diabetic 6% Non-diabetic 4% 2% 0% Death - 1720 subjects post AMI, 72% received PCI Ishihara et al. Am Heart J., 2005; 150:814-20 MACE    Persistent hyperglycemia more accurate predictor of death Mean glucose concentration the most practical tool Relationship between mean BG and mortality demonstrated by “J-shaped” curve Kosiborod et al. Circulation; 2008: 1018-27   Concept that insulin may be beneficial during AMI developed 45 years ago Rationale involves using glucose-insulinpotassium (GIK) infusion to shift myocardial FFA use to glucose  Reduces myocardial O2 demand  Reduces glycolytic generation of radicals that can further damage myocardium  Focus of early uses of GIK on correcting relative insulin deficiency and NOT establishing euglycemia  Reduces production and uptake of FFAs by myocardium  FFAs increases myocardial O2 requirements  FFAs depress myocardial mechanical function  Promotes glucose as primary energy substrate  Increases efficiency of ATP production  Glycolytic ATP protects cell membrane, drives transport of Ca, improves Na homeostasis  Promotes cell survival  Anti-apoptotic effects by upregulating eNOS  Limits effects of reperfusion injury  Anti-inflammatory effects  CRP increase post MI blunted ~ 50% by insulin Marfella et al. Diabetes Care 2003; 26:3129-35  Inhibits platelet aggregation   Promotes vasodilatation Improves myocardial perfusion and coronary flow in dose dependent manner      Objective to correct relative insulin deficiency Providing GIK infusion Glucose acting to prevent hypoglycemia and acting as an alternative energy substrate Achieving a target BG not a priority Goal is to improve myocardial metabolism   Insulin administered to reduce elevated BG levels to normal levels Goal to reverse any direct adverse effects of hyperglycemia  Meta-analysis of 9 RCTs 1965-1987     Total of 1932 patients All studies provided GIK infusion Most studies excluded patients with DM Evaluated in-hospital mortality Fath-Ordoubadi F & Beatt KJ 1997 Circulation 96:1152-1156  in-hospital mortality:  21% placebo group vs. 16.5% GIK group (P=0.004, OR 0.72, 95% CI 0.57-0.90)  “…GIK therapy may have an important role in reducing in-hospital mortality after acute MI”   First studies of GIK infusion in reperfusion era DIGAMI Study  Published in 1995  Included only patients with DM and acute MI  DIGAMI-2 Study  Published in 2005  Studied 3 different management strategies in subjects with T2DM or admission BG>11.1 with acute MI In patients with T2DM and acute MI does treatment with glucose-insulin infusion followed by MDI insulin reduce mortality at 1-year compared to standard care? 620 Subjects Control Infusion Conventional CCU care +/- insulin if needed Glucose-insulin infusion target BG 7-10mmol/L ≥ 24h until BG stable Patient switched to MDI insulin T2DM = known history T2DM or admission BG >11.1 mmol/L  Primary Outcome  Mortality at 3 months At 3 mo P value NS At 1 year P value = 0.0273 Low cardiac risk and not previously on insulin Patients with T2DM who are immediately post MI have improved long-term mortality when given insulin-gluc0se infusion to a target BG followed by MDI insulin  Are we simply seeing the benefits of better glycemic control? In patients with T2DM and acute MI does an insulin-glucose regimen followed by insulin based therapy reduce mortality more so than a glucoseinsulin infusion followed by standard care or standard care alone?  1253 subjects with T2DM or BG >11.1mmol/L suspected of acute MI (Q waves, ST segment changes) 1253 Subjects Group 1 Group 2 Group 3 24h insulin-glucose infusion then longterm MDI insulin 24h insulin-glucose infusion then routine metabolic management Routine metabolic management Glucose-insulin infusion: 80U insulin in 500mL D5W BG targets - decrease BG as fast as possible to 7-10mmol/L - While on MDI, FBG 5-7 mmol/L and post prandial <10mmol/L (Group 1)  Primary outcome  Mortality between Group 1 and Group 2  Secondary Outcomes  Mortality between Group 2 and Group 3  Morbidity (nonfatal reinfarction, CHF etc) between all 3 groups  Study failed to recruit target number of subjects  Originally planned to recruit 3000 patients  Recruitment stopped early because of slow rate   Inability to attain major difference in BG between treatment groups Initial decrease in BG less substantial than in DIGAMI For similar glycemic control, insulin therapy is not superior to other glycemic control options GIK Infusion Treat with insulin to a BG target  In their systematic review Anantharaman et al. point out that Anantharaman, R. et al. Heart 2009; 95:697-703  Trials with an insulin focus do not show any significant benefit  Trials with a glycemic focus are inconclusive  In general these trials also have higher admission BGs  Paucity of non-diabetics in the euglycemia focus studies  DIGAMI, DIGAMI-2  HI-5 50% non-DM  Early, substantial decreases in BG compared to control not achieved in some studies  In CREATE-ECLA treatment arm BG actually rose, higher at 24h compared to treatment  CARDINAL study showed hyperglycemia in first 24h after AMI predicts higher mortality in non-DM  In all euglycemia focus trials treatment started >12h from time of symptom onset  Adverse effects of hypoglycemia may be overshadowing possible benefits  More patients in the insulin therapy or GIK infusion arms affected by low BGs   Both DIGAMI-2 and HI-5 both failed to recruit sufficient number of patients In the era of reperfusion and use of ASA, statins and beta blockers, any benefit achieved may be overshadowed  Meta-analysis of RCTs comparing GIK or insulinglucose therapy vs. standard therapy in AMI in the reperfusion era Zhao, Y et al. Heart 2010; 96:1622-1626 • 11 studies identified • 8 with insulin focus, 3 with euglycemia focus Large degree of heterogeneity between trials  Authors conclude:  In the reperfusion era treatment with an insulinfocused strategy does not reduce mortality  It may be possible that treatment with insulin infusion with glycemia focus may improve mortality in AMI     Immediate administration of GIK at the first signs of a heart attack (pre-hospital) by EMS vs. placebo All-cause mortality at 30 days 15,450 participants planned to be recruited Recruitment ended July 2011   Non-diabetics and type 2 diabetics not requiring insulin admitted for AMI Study Arms  Treatment: IV glulisine for ≥ 24h and duration of CCU admission then glargine insulin, target BG 56.6mmol/L  Control: Usual care for AMI  Primary Outcome  24h difference in mean BG between two study groups  Data collection now complete    All patients with AMI should have their BG checked regardless of history DM When BG >12mmol/L, insulin-glucose infusion should be used to maintain BG 7-10mmol/L for at least 24h Patients should be maintained on MDI insulin for at least 3 mo “ … reduction of glycemia per se, and not necessarily the use of insulin, is associated with improved outcomes. It remains unclear, however, whether hyperglycemia is a marker of underlying health status or is a mediator of complications after AMI. Noniatrogenic hypoglycemia has also been associated with adverse outcomes and is a predictor of higher mortality.”  Treatment of Hyperglycemia in non-critically ill Patients  Pre-meal targets <7.8mmol/L  Random BG <10mmol/L  Reassess insulin regimen if BG <5.6mmol/L “… our recommendations are based on clinical experience and judgment.”  Recommend treatment of hyperglycemia when BG > 180mg/dL (> 10mmol/L) while avoiding hypoglycemia  Recommend treatment of hyperglycemia when BG > 180mg/dL (> 10mmol/L) while avoiding hypoglycemia   Cardiac metabolism is primarily oxidative phosphorylation with FFAs as primary energy substrates In ischemia, glycolysis becomes primary mode of energy metabolism  Conserves oxygen use  May have cardiac protective effects  Admission hyperglycemia following AMI associated with higher mortality and major cardiac events  More pronounced in non-diabetic patients  Persistent hyperglycemia better predictor of death    Interventions either have euglycemia focus or insulin focus In the pre-reperfusion era GIK infusion may have had mortality benefit In the reperfusion era  Insulin focus trials do not show mortality benefit  Euglycemia focus trials suggest possible benefit  Primarily driven by DIGAMI results   Without any RCTs, most clinical guidelines suggest treatment admission hyperglycemia in AMI when BG > 10-12mmol/L Emphasis on less stringent glycemic targets and avoidance of hypoglycemia There is a clear need for a well-designed, definitive randomized trial of target-driven glucose control in UA/NSTEMI patients with meaningful clinical endpoints so that glucose treatment thresholds and glucose targets can be determined. -- 2011 ACCF/AHA Guidelines for the Management of UA/NSTEMI    Anantharaman, R. et al.
