The Diabetes-CV study is an observational study designed to assess the prognostic value of serum cardiac damage markers high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI), N-terminal pro-B-natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), and soluble suppression of tumorigenesis-2 (sST2) in predicting mortality, major adverse cardiovascular events, and diabetic complications in patients with type 2 diabetes.
This single-center, investigator-initiated, prospective observational study aims to evaluate the prognostic value of serum cardiac damage markers such as high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI), N-terminal pro-B-natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and soluble suppression of tumorigenesis-2 (sST2) in subjects with type 2 diabetes. The study will utilize clinical and laboratory data from patients attending the Diabetology Unit at the IRCCS INRCA Hospital in Ancona (Italy), including both study-specific data and information extracted from routine outpatient medical records.
