The Relationship Between Time-Varying Achieved HbA1c and Risk of Coronary Events Depends on Haptoglobin Phenotype Among White and Black ACCORD Participants

© 2023 by the American Diabetes Association..

OBJECTIVE: Intensive glycemic therapy reduced coronary artery disease (CAD) events among White participants in the Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes (ACCORD) study with the haptoglobin (Hp)2-2 phenotype, while participants without the Hp2-2 phenotype had no CAD benefit. The association between achieved glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and CAD for each Hp phenotype remains unknown.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Achieved HbA1c was similar in each phenotype throughout the study. Prospectively collected HbA1c data (categorized as <6.0%, 6.0-6.5%, 6.6-6.9%, or ≥8.0% compared with 7.0-7.9%) from the ACCORD study, updated every 4 months over a median of 4.7 years, were analyzed in relation to CAD in the Hp2-2 (n = 3,322) and non-Hp2-2 (n = 5,949) phenotypes separately overall, and within White (63%, 37% Hp2-2) and Black (19%, 26% Hp2-2) participants using Cox proportional hazards regression with time-varying covariables.

RESULTS: Compared with HbA1c of 7.0-7.9%, having HbA1c ≥8.0% was associated with CAD risk among White (adjusted HR [aHR] 1.43, 95% CI 1.03-1.98) and Black (2.86, 1.09-7.51) participants with the Hp2-2 phenotype, but not when all Hp2-2 participants were combined overall (1.30, 0.99-1.70), and not among participants without the Hp2-2 phenotype. HbA1c <7.0% was not associated with a lower risk of CAD for any Hp phenotype.

CONCLUSIONS: Achieving HbA1c >8.0% compared with 7.0-7.9% was consistently associated with incident CAD risk among White and Black ACCORD participants with the Hp2-2 phenotype, while no association was observed among participants without the Hp2-2 phenotype. We found no evidence that HbA1c concentration <7.0% prevents CAD in either Hp phenotype group.
