Abstract

SUMMARY. Insulin resistance (IR) plays a significant role in the development of cardiovascular diseases and has an adverse prognostic effect on the course of an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) due to a direct proatherogenic effect and a metabolically damaging effect on the contractile function of the myocardium.

The aim – to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment of patients with ACS (STEMI) in combination with T2DM by including the course of parenteral L-carnitine-carnivit and SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin in the protocol therapy program.

Material and Methods. 85 patients with ACS (STEMI), which developed against the background of T2DM, were examined. The patients were divided into three groups: the 1st group consisted of 25 patients who received protocol drug treatment after PCV, the 2nd experimental group consisted of 28 people who additionally received carnivit (2.0 g) in the form of intravenous infusions, the 3rd group consisted of 32 people who dapagliflozin (10 mg/day) was additionally prescribed. The control group consisted of 20 practically healthy volunteers without cardiovascular pathology. The diagnosis of ACS (MI) was verified according to the recommendations of the ESC (2018), and T2DM - according to the ADAiIDF (2010). The presence of insulin resistance (IR) was assessed by the level of the HOMA-IR index.

Results. The majority of comorbid patients (ACS+T2DM) (87.5 %) had a complicated course of MI, which was caused by metabolic (energetic) changes in the myocardium and coronary vessels as a result of the additional effects of insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, and hyperinsulinemia. Violation of carbohydrate metabolism in these comorbid patients is evidenced by hyperglycemia and an increase in the NOMA index. Correction of detected hemodynamic disorders by using an arginine/carnitine mixture contributed to the reduction of post-infarction heart remodeling, an increase in PV (by 7 %) and a decrease in the frequency of life-threatening complications, and complex treatment with the additional inclusion of dapagliflozin significantly improved the disturbed hydrocarbon metabolism and reduced the level of IR.

Conclusions. Patients with myocardial infarction in combination with type 2 diabetes in the initial state develop pronounced insulin resistance with a violation of carbohydrate metabolism and a decrease in the systolic-diastolic function of the heart, which are triggers for the development of a complicated course of this comorbid pathology. Complex treatment with the inclusion of carnitine and dapagliflozin in these comorbid patients helped restore tissue sensitivity to insulin, improve carbohydrate metabolism, and significantly reduce the frequency of life-threatening complications.
