26 ACCORD blodpressure STUDY-Overview In a randomized trial, 4733 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were at high risk for cardiovascular events received treatment aimed at a target systolic blood pressure of less than 120 mm Hg or less than 140 mm Hg. Systolic BP averaged 119 mmhg in the intensive group and 134 mmhg In the control group. (134 mmhg was mean syst BP in ADVANCE- intensive group) Followup time 4.7 years. Pimary endpoint: nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, or cardiovascular death.

41 How to reduce CVD in CKD patients? No RTC in patients with CKD<60 ml/min have shown a reduction in CVD as primary endpoint. 1. Statintreatments in Dialysispatients(4D and AURURA) vs placebo. Treatment with ESL(Darbepoetin in diabetic patients with Cl<60 vs. placebo

Cumulative Incidence 0.15 Primary End Point* 0.10 CKD, placebo 0.05 No CKD, placebo CKD, rosuvastatin No CKD, rosuvastatin No. at Risk CKD Rosuvastatin Placebo No CKD Rosuvastatin Placebo Follow-up (years) *Primary end point: non-fatal MI, nonfatal stroke, hospital stay for unstable angina, arterial revascularization, or CV death Ridker PM et al. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2010;55(12):

46 What did he say? Definition of nepropathy is repeated macroalbuminuria in 2 of 3 samples >300mg/24 hour or Alb/Creatininratio > 30 mg/mmol. In healty population 7 % develops micro or macroalbuminuria, among diabetics this is 30-40%. Albuminuria is a strong predictor for both renal and cardiovascular risc. Nephropathy can be prevented or at least halted by blodpressure control, metabolic control and RAS-inhibition Targets bloodpressure <130/80, In patients with nephropathy important to reduce albuminuria to protect kidneys and perhaps reduce CVD. Will be studied in the ALTITUDE-study Due to new mechanisms of disease alternative treatments need to be tested in RCT. Eg calcimimetics in EVOLVE-study.
