Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to investigate the association between hypoglycemia, glycemic variability and cardiac arrhythmias in patients with diabetes Type II (T2D) already implanted with implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) and monitored remotely through Bluetooth technology and CGM (continuous glucose monitoring).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Studies have shown that, when diabetes is present, there is a 35% to 60% greater risk of developing atrial fibrillation (AF). Diabetic patients with AF had a 61% increase in total mortality, a 77% increase in cardiovascular death and a 68% increase in heart failure. The greatest risk with the combination of AF and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2D) is a 79% increase in thromboembolic risk, particularly stroke.Hypoglycemia, frequently asymptomatic, may lead to cardiac arrythmias and induce an increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with T2D.

However, these conclusions need to be tempered by the limitations of all studies available to date, making it difficult to determine the onset and burden of AF, especially when it is not a monitored end-point.Since prospective randomized trials would be unethical, future research should focus on establishing whether such a link exists by employing an observational design and taking advantage of modern tools for long-term, real-life monitoring.
