Overview
The Diabetes-CV study is an observational study designed to assess the prognostic value of serum cardiac damage markers high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI), N-terminal pro-B-natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), and soluble suppression of tumorigenesis-2 (sST2) in predicting mortality, major adverse cardiovascular events, and diabetic complications in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Description
This single-center, investigator-initiated, prospective observational study aims to evaluate the prognostic value of serum cardiac damage markers such as high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI), N-terminal pro-B-natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and soluble suppression of tumorigenesis-2 (sST2) in subjects with type 2 diabetes. The study will utilize clinical and laboratory data from patients attending the Diabetology Unit at the IRCCS INRCA Hospital in Ancona (Italy), including both study-specific data and information extracted from routine outpatient medical records.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- type 2 diabetes
- patients attending the outpatient services
Exclusion Criteria:
- type 1 diabetes
- patients with active cancer or cancer in remission for less than 5 years
- any medical or other reason that leads the investigator to consider the subject ineligible for the study.
