BARI 2D Trial*
Patients with type 2 diabetes referred for
evaluation of CAD
 N=2368
 Randomly assigned to

 CABG
v PCI
 Medical therapy v revascularization
 Insulin provision v insulin sensitization
Bypass Angioplasty Revascularization Investigation 2 Diabetes
NEJM, 360:2503-2525, June 11, 2009
BARI 2D Trial Conclusions
Followed for 5 years
 No significant difference medical v
revascularization and insulin provision v
sensitization
 Note - initial Rx strategy for patients with
diabetes and CAD rarely remains
constant over a 5 year treatment period

BARI 2D Trial - Secondary
Secondary endpoints: death, MI, CVA
 Insulin-sensitizing rx associated with
fewer secondary endpoints than insulin
 CABG group (not PCI) fewer major
cardiac events than optimal medical
therapy group

BARI 2D Trial – Take Home



For many patient with diabetes and CAD,
optimal medical therapy is an excellent firstline strategy
When revascularization is indicated several
studies now support CABG over PCI
Comparative effectiveness of rapidly evolving
treatments is a moving target





Department of Health & Human Services
Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality
1st convened by US Public Health Service in 1984
Moved to AHRQ in 1998
to evaluate the benefits of individual services
based on age, gender, and risk factors for disease
which preventive services should be incorporated
routinely into primary medical care and for which
populations
USPSTF Ratings 1
Grade
Definition
Suggestions for Practice
A
The USPSTF recommends the service.
There is high certainty that the net
benefit is substantial.
Offer/provide this service.
B
The USPSTF recommends the service.
There is high certainty that the net
benefit is moderate or there is
moderate certainty that the net benefit
is moderate to substantial.
Offer/provide this service.
C
The USPSTF recommends against
routinely providing the service. There
may be considerations that support
providing the service in an individual
patient. There is at least moderate
certainty that the net benefit is small.
Offer/provide this service only if other
considerations support the offering or
providing the service in an individual
patient.
USPSTF Ratings 2
D
The USPSTF recommends against
the service. There is moderate
or high certainty that the
service has no net benefit or
that the harms outweigh the
benefits.
Discourage the use of this
service.
I Statement
The USPSTF concludes that the
current evidence is insufficient
to assess the balance of
benefits and harms of the
service. Evidence is lacking, of
poor quality, or conflicting, and
the balance of benefits and
harms cannot be determined.
Read the clinical
considerations section of
USPSTF
Recommendation
Statement. If the service
is offered, patients should
understand the
uncertainty about the
balance of benefits and
harms.
USPSTF – Breast Cancer



The USPSTF recommends screening mammography,
with or without clinical breast examination (CBE),
every 1-2 years for women aged 40 and older.
Grade: B Recommendation.
The USPSTF concludes that the evidence is
insufficient to recommend for or against routine CBE
alone to screen for breast cancer.
Grade: I Statement.
The USPSTF concludes that the evidence is
insufficient to recommend for or against teaching or
performing routine breast self-examination (BSE).
Grade: I Statement.
USPSTF – Cervical Cancer 1



The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF)
strongly recommends screening for cervical cancer in
women who have been sexually active and have a cervix.
Grade: A Recommendation.
The USPSTF recommends against routinely screening
women older than age 65 for cervical cancer if they have
had adequate recent screening with normal Pap smears
and are not otherwise at high risk for cervical cancer (go to
Clinical Considerations). Grade: D Recommendation.
The USPSTF recommends against routine Pap smear
screening in women who have had a total hysterectomy for
benign disease. Grade: D Recommendation.
USPSTF – Cervical Cancer 2


The USPSTF concludes that the evidence is
insufficient to recommend for or against the
routine use of new technologies to screen for
cervical cancer. Grade: I Statement.
The USPSTF concludes that the evidence is
insufficient to recommend for or against the
routine use of human papillomavirus (HPV)
testing as a primary screening test for cervical
cancer. Grade: I Statement.
USPSTF – Colorectal Cancer




The USPSTF recommends screening for colorectal cancer (CRC)
using fecal occult blood testing, sigmoidoscopy, or colonoscopy, in
adults, beginning at age 50 years and continuing until age 75
years. The risks and benefits of these screening methods
vary. Grade: A Recommendation.
The USPSTF recommends against routine screening for
colorectal cancer in adults age 76 to 85 years. There may be
considerations that support colorectal cancer screening in an
individual patient. Grade: C Recommendation.
The USPSTF recommends against screening for colorectal cancer
in adults older than age 85 years. Grade: D Recommendation.
The USPSTF concludes that the evidence is insufficient to assess
the benefits and harms of computed tomographic colonography
and fecal DNA testing as screening modalities for colorectal
cancer.
Grade: I Statement.
USPSTF – Prostate Cancer


The USPSTF concludes that the current
evidence is insufficient to assess the balance
of benefits and harms of prostate cancer
screening in men younger than age 75 years.
Grade: I Statement.
The USPSTF recommends against screening
for prostate cancer in men age 75 years or
older. Grade: D Recommendation.
USPSTF – Vitamins (Ca & CAD)


The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force
(USPSTF) concludes that the evidence is
insufficient to recommend for or against the
use of supplements of vitamins A, C, or E;
multivitamins with folic acid; or antioxidant
combinations for the prevention of cancer or
cardiovascular disease. Grade: I Statement.
The USPSTF recommends against the use of
beta-carotene supplements, either alone or in
combination, for the prevention of cancer or
cardiovascular disease. Grade: D

How Do I Lower My Risk?
Don't smoke, and if you do, quit
 Aim for a healthy weight
 Get moving
 Eat for heart health
 Know your numbers. Ask your doctor to

check your blood pressure, cholesterol (total, HDL, LDL,
triglycerides), and blood glucose.
The American Heart Association's
Nutrition Committee strongly
advises these fat guidelines for
healthy Americans over age 2:
AHA Fat Dietary Guidelines - 1
Limit total fat intake to less than 25–35
percent of your total calories each day;
 Limit saturated fat intake to less than 7
percent of total daily calories;
 Limit trans fat intake to less than 1
percent of total daily calories;

AHA Fat Dietary Guidelines - 2


The remaining fat should come from sources
of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats
such as nuts, seeds, fish and vegetable oils;
and
Limit cholesterol intake to less than 300 mg
per day, for most people. If you have
coronary heart disease or your LDL
cholesterol level is 100 mg/dL or greater, limit
your cholesterol intake to less than 200
milligrams a day.
LDL Targets
160 mg/dL is considered a high LDL.
 130 mg/dL and lower is a good target for
most healthy people.
 100 mg/dL is the target if you have other
risk factors for heart disease.
 70 mg/dL is the target if you already
have heart disease.

In the United States the main sources are
meats and dairy products
They result in a rise in LDL-cholesterol and
a reduction in HDL-cholesterol
They have been linked to vascular
inflammation and elevation of C-reactive
protein
Consumers can avoid them by consuming
foods with zero trans-fatty acids listed on
the nutrition label
Consumers should be advised to avoid
foods containing hydrogenated oils

Evidence)
Increase LDL-cholesterol, reduce HDL-cholesterol,
increase serum triglycerides, and reduce the size of

Systemic inflammation has also been linked to the
consumption of TFAs, with increased activity of the
tissue-necrosis factor system and increases in
interleukin-6 and C-reactive protein

How to Lower Cholesterol
Follow a low saturated fat, low
cholesterol diet
 Be more physically active
 Lose weight if you are overweight

Monounsaturated Fat

remains liquid at room temperature but
may start to solidify in the refrigerator.
Foods high in monounsaturated fat
include olive, peanut and canola oils.
Avocados and most nuts also have high
amounts of monounsaturated fat.
Polyunsaturated fat

is usually liquid at room temperature and
in the refrigerator. Foods high in
polyunsaturated fats include vegetable
oils, such as safflower, corn, sunflower,
soy and cottonseed oils.
Omega-3 fatty acids

are polyunsaturated fats found mostly in
seafood. Good sources of omega-3s
include fatty, cold-water fish, such as
salmon, mackerel and herring.
Flaxseeds, flax oil and walnuts also
contain omega-3 fatty acids, and small
amounts are found in soybean and
canola oils.

Aerobic Exercise 1


Group exercise was found to be superior to other group
activities in treating older depressed patients already on
similar pharmacotherapy (SOR B)
In a study of older men with established coronary heart
disease, light and moderate levels of physical activity (e.g.,
walking, gardening, and recreational activity) were
associated with a significant reduction in all-cause and
cardiovascular mortality rates. The benefit was seen in
men both younger and older than 65. Even those with
chest pain or severe breathlessness achieved significant
benefit from these lighter activities (SOR A)
Aerobic Exercise 2


The American Heart Association recommended target
heart rate range for adequate aerobic exercise intensity
is 50%–75% of a patient’s maximum heart rate, or 75–
113 beats/min for 70-year-old adults. The formula used
to derive this range is 220 (maximum heart rate in young
adults) minus patient age times 0.55–0.75 (SOR C)
Data from the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention indicate that about 28%–34% of adults aged
65–74 and 35%–44% of adults age 75 or older are
inactive, meaning they engage in no leisure-time
physical activity. Inactivity is more common in older
people than in middle-aged men and women. Women
were more likely than men to report no leisure-time
activity (SOR C).

What About
Chocolate?

A study at Penn State University found
that people who ate lots of chocolate
had higher anti-oxidant levels in their
blood and lower levels of LDLcholesterol – the type that in implicated
in hardening of the arteries

Cocoa seems to keep down the blood
pressure of the Kuna Indians who live
off the coast of Panama and eat lots of
locally grown cocoa that is high in
flavenoids.

At Brigham and Women’s Hospital in
Boston, volunteers had less arterial
stiffness after consuming 100 grams of
good quality , plain chocolate.
Researchers speculate that cocoa helps
dilate blood vessels, improves kidney
function, and lowers blood pressure.

At the University of California,
volunteers ate 25 grams of semi-sweet
chocolate. Two and six hours later, the
platelets of the chocolate eating group
took significantly longer to close an
opening compared with those of a
control group who ate bread.

Researchers concluded that eating
small amounts of chocolate could have
the same anti-clotting effect as aspirin
and might reduce the risk of deep vein
thrombosis when flying.
