ABSTRACT
Background:
There is mounting evidence that diabetic-related cardiac metabolism abnormalities with oxidative stress and inflammatory mechanism activation align with the functional impairments that result in atherosclerotic lesion formation. Among the possible non-traditional coronary lesion risk factors, environmental exposure may be significant, especially in diabetic patients.Methods:
A total of 140 diabetic patients (115 (82%) males and 25 (18%) females) with a mean age of 65 (60-71) underwent surgical revascularization due to multivessel coronary disease. The possible all-cause mortality risk factors, including demographical and clinical factors followed by chronic air pollution exposure, were identified.Results:
All patients were operated on using the off-pump technique and followed for 5.6 (5-6.1) years. The multivariable model for 5-year mortality prediction presented the nitrogen dioxide chronic exposure (HR 3.99, 95% CI 1.16-13.71, p = 0.028) and completeness of revascularization (HR 0.19, 95% CI 0.04-0.86, p = 0.031) as significant all-cause mortality risk factors.Conclusions:
Ambient air pollutants such as an excessive chronic nitrogen dioxide concentration (>15 µg/m3) may increase 5-year all-cause mortality in diabetic patients following surgical revascularization.Palabras clave
