Premature Aging and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: an Increased Risk of Cardiomyopathy? (R2D2)

August 2, 2017 updated by: Hospices Civils de Lyon

The potential clinical implications of this study are to optimise the selection of a population at risk for developing a diabetic cardiomyopathy among diabetic patients in order to develop early therapeutic strategies to prevent the left ventricular remodelling.

Therefore, the originality of this project is to hypothesize that :

  • Diabetes mellitus is often associated with a premature aging syndrome
  • Cellular senescence may potentiate the mechanisms that are involved in decreasing myocardial contractility in DM and,
  • DM associated to premature aging may increase the risk of developing a cardiomyopathy Thus, the modulation of telomerase activity and the control of telomere length, together with the attenuation of the formation of reactive oxygen species, might represent important new targets in order to develop therapeutic tools in prevention of diabetic cardiomyopathy.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Telomere shortening
Time Frame: 36 months
Investigate whether biomarkers for senescence determined from blood samples, including telomere shortening and telomerase activity in diabetic patients have an impact of left ventricular remodelling as compared with age-matched controls and biological aged control subjects.
36 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Dysfunction by speckle tracking imaging
Time Frame: 36 months
Study the incidence of subtle regional myocardial dysfunction by speckle tracking imaging (longitudinal and radial systolic strain)
36 months
Determine the predictive value of alteration
Time Frame: 36 months
Determine the predictive value of alteration : Proteinuria, glycosylated haemoglobin, diabetes mellitus duration, blood pressure, BNP dosage, MRI diagnoses
36 months
Cardiovascular events
Time Frame: 36 months
Investigate the predictive value of all those factors( telomere shortening, telomerase activity, echo abnormalities) on cardiovascular events including MI, HF, arrhythmia; ACV
36 months
