PG - 21-26 LID - S0022-0736(17)30257-1 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jelectrocard.2017.08.016 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: We tested the hypothesis that an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor (alpha-GI), miglitol, is effective in protecting the cardiovascular system in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS: We studied 19 hospitalized heart disease patients with T2DM in whom we performed continuous glucose monitoring, Holter electrocardiogram, and ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring simultaneously for 48h. The alpha-GI miglitol was administered for half of the study period by a cross-over fashion. T-wave alternans (TWA), a marker of future fatal arrhythmic events, was also analyzed by Holter ECG. RESULTS: Of the 19 patients, the measures of glucose variability were significantly lower during miglitol therapy than in control period. BP variability was similar with/without miglitol. However, TWA was significantly lower during the miglitol period compared to control period (63+/-4.8 vs. 75.8+/-5.1muV, p=0.032). CONCLUSION: An alpha-GI, miglitol, can reduce TWA by reducing the fluctuation of glucose in heart disease patients with T2DM. CI - Copyright (c) 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
