简要总结
This study aims to investigate whether a Cardio-Metabolic Clinic can protect the cardiovascular health of patients with both diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
- At the Cardio-Metabolic Clinic, patients will receive a specialized and comprehensive care. This includes applying a systematic approach, considering their whole health based on the latest knowledge in the field, and administering aggressive treatment with heart protective medications.
- The ProtecT-2-D trial will compare the effects of care at the Cardio-Metabolic Clinic to usual care to see if there are any differences in cardiovascular illness and death.
详细描述
Background:
Despite improved treatment options, cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of illness and death among patients with type 2 diabetes. It is crucial to recognize that managing diabetes involves more than just controlling blood sugar levels; preventing and treating cardiovascular disease is of significant importance. Lifestyle changes have been proven to have a substantial impact on cardiovascular health. Additionally, remarkable advancements in treatment options with cardiovascular protective effects have occurred over the past five years. Nevertheless, the traditional healthcare system primarily focuses on managing individual diseases, often leading to fragmented care for patients with type 2 diabetes. This fragmented approach often results in inadequate treatment, higher costs, and worse outcomes for cardiovascular disease. To address these challenges, our goal is to establish a Cardio-Metabolic Clinic that adopts a multidisciplinary approach to optimize diabetes management. The clinic will place special emphasis on implementing measures to protect the cardiovascular system and ensure comprehensive care for the patients. By bridging the gap between diabetes management and cardiovascular health, the aim is to enhance cardiovascular outcomes for patients with type 2 diabetes.
Organization in the Cardio-Metabolic Clinic:
The Cardio-Metabolic Clinic, structured on a cost-effective model, operates through a three-layered system centered on the patient. The innermost layer involves medical students or specialized cardio-metabolic nurses who maintain the daily contact with the patients. Patient medical history and baseline visit data are recorded in the Electronic Case-Report Form (Redcap). Upon randomization to the intervention arm, a decision-making algorithm in the Redcap-system is activated, ensuring that patients receive optimal and tailored medical treatment in accordance with the latest guidelines for diabetes management. The second layer includes a cardiologist who, in collaboration with the medical students or cardio-metabolic nurses, reviews the patients' risk profiles and algorithm-recommended treatments. If further counselling is needed for patient management, the third layer, consisting of an endocrinologist, a nephrologist and a hepatologist, will be consulted. This multidisciplinary collaboration ensures the most optimal diabetes management, especially in challenging cases.
