Does propionyl-L-carnitine improve hemodynamics and metabolic markers of cardiac perfusion during coronary surgery in diabetic patients?
Significant improvement of hemodynamics following propionyl-L-carnitine administration in diabetic patients undergoing on-bypass coronary surgery was accompanied by reduced trans-cardiac endothelin difference and rapid hypoxanthine washout during reperfusion suggesting improvement of metabolism or vascular function.
To our knowledge, we report the first estimate of hypoglycemia requiring ambulance services among T2D, in contemporary clinical practice. NSFU cohort was associated with lower repeated calls, ERT, and hospitalizations compared to other therapeutic programs. Predictors of mortality post-hypoglycemia were age and hypoglycemia predisposing comorbidities.
