Abstract:

Objective To investigate the effect of semaglutide on the prognosis in patients with unstable angina complicated with diabetes after percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods A total of 178 patients with unstable angina complicated with diabetes diagnosed in Zhengzhou Cardiovascular Hospital from September 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023 were included. The patients were divided into a study group (43 patients) and a control group (135 patients) according to whether they received semiglutide or not. Changes in HbA1c, fasting blood glucose, body weight, blood pressure and blood lipid were observed before and after treatment. Baseline data and differences in postoperative adverse cardiovascular events including cardiovascular death, all-cause death, acute myocardial infarction, acute ischemic stroke, re-hospitalization due to unstable angina, and coronary revascularization were compared between the two groups. Results After 12 weeks of treatment, fasting blood-glucose levels in the study group and the control group were (6.0 ± 0.9), (8.5 ± 1.3) mmol/L, HbA1c levels were (6.5 ± 0.7)%, (7.9 ± 0.5)%, BMI was (22. 8 ± 3.0), (25.0 ± 2.4) kg/m2, systolic blood pressure was (135.3 ± 9.7) (141.5 ± 8.3) mmHg, respectively, with significant differences (P < 0.05 for all comparisons). Diastolic blood pressure showed a trend of improvement (84.7 ± 7.7), (86.6 ± 7.7)mmHg, but there was no statistical difference. Conclusions For patients with unstable angina complicated with diabetes after percutaneous coronary intervention, the application of semaglutide can effectively control blood glucose, body weight, systolic blood pressure, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.
