11. Diabetes Mellitus and Other Conditions Predisposing to the Development
of Accelerated Atherosclerosis
INTRODUCTION
This section of the Guidelines provides recommendations for pediatric care providers
on managing cardiovascular (CV) risk factors in children and adolescents with diabetes
mellitus and other conditions that predispose them to accelerated atherosclerosis.
The evidence review did not address management of hyperglycemia, and this is not
addressed in the recommendations. The section begins with background information
on the importance of diabetes as a risk factor for CV disease (CVD). This is followed
by the Expert Panel's summary of the evidence review relative to diabetes, separated
for type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, and then by a subsection on other predisposing
conditions. The evidence review and the development process for the Guidelines are
outlined in the Section I. Introduction and are described in detail in Appendix
A. Methodology. As described, the evidence review augments a standard systematic
review, where the findings from the studies reviewed constitute the only basis for
recommendations, with each study described in detail. This evidence review combines
a systematic review with an Expert Panel consensus process that incorporates and
grades the quality of all relevant evidence based on preidentified criteria. Because
of the diverse nature of the evidence, the Expert Panel provides a critical overview
of the studies reviewed for each risk factor. Detailed information from each study
has been extracted into the evidence tables, which will be available at
http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/guidelines/cvd_ped/index.htm. Following its review
of the limited available evidence for this subject, the Expert Panel elected to
employ expert opinion by expanding on the recommendations of the 2006 guidelines
from the American Heart Association (AHA),[1] which addressed CV risk management
in high-risk pediatric patients, including those with diabetes. This approach is
described in detail in this section, relative to the management of other conditions
predisposing to the development of accelerated atherosclerosis. References are listed
sequentially at the end of the section, with references from the evidence review
identified by unique PubMed identifier (PMID) number in bold text. Additional references
do not include the PMID number.
BACKGROUND
Diabetes mellitus is an established risk factor for early CVD. Metabolically, diabetes
is characterized by hyperglycemia due to defects in insulin secretion (type 1 diabetes
mellitus (T1DM)) and insulin function and/or secretion (type 2 diabetes mellitus
(T2DM)). Both T1DM and T2DM are associated with vascular disease.[2],[3],[4]
Autopsy and noninvasive imaging studies suggest that the extent of vascular involvement
may reflect the duration of the disease and the severity of the chronic metabolic
derangement.[5],[6],[7],[8],[9],[10]
The epidemiologies of the two types differ significantly. T1DM presents at a younger
age, with 25 percent of patients diagnosed between ages 5 and 10 years and another
40 percent between ages 10 and 15 years. If not treated adequately, the degree of
hyperglycemia is severe, and patients are highly symptomatic. By contrast, in T2DM,
the majority of patients present in adult life, but a small and growing number present
in adolescence, and most are relatively asymptomatic, with only mild to moderate
hyperglycemia in combination with obesity.[11],[12]
OVERVIEW OF THE EVIDENCE FOR TYPE 1 DIABETES MELLITUS
In adults with T1DM, clinical heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral
vascular disease represent the most common causes of morbidity and mortality.[13]
Children with T1DM have been shown to have pathologic vascular changes in the form
of microangiopathy in the eye and the kidney and subclinical evidence of atherosclerosis,
with increased carotid intima-media thickness, reduced endothelium-dependent arterial
flow-mediated dilation (FMD), and increased arterial stiffness.[10],[14],[15],[16],[17],[18] Recent
studies of youth with T1DM demonstrate that between one-fourth and three-fourths
of subjects have at least one CV risk factor.[19],[20] Unfortunately,
few are prescribed treatment directed at these abnormalities.[21] Although obesity appears
to be related to CV risk in T1DM patients, hyperglycemia drives the production of
advanced glycolation end products, which are the primary mediators of the vascular
process.[22],[23]
The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial in T1DM patients aged
1339 years found that intensive glycemia control reduced microvascular outcomes
and, in an observational followup period, found lower rates of CVD events in those
previously treated intensively for glycemia.[24],[25] Therefore, glucose
management should be intensive in T1DM, under the care of an endocrine specialist.
In evaluating the risk for CVD in adults, the presence of diabetes is considered
to be the equivalent of a history of coronary disease.[26]
Management of other risk factors related to T1DM should be aggressive, with the
cut points marking effective therapy mandating intensive risk reduction.[27]
The evidence review for these Guidelines was designed to identify systematic reviews,
meta-analyses, randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and observational studies from
selected large longitudinal cohorts. The evidence review identified only two RCTs
relevant to T1DM that met the inclusion criterion of having CV outcomes. A randomized
crossover trial in a small number of children with T1DM showed a decline in diastolic
blood pressure during sleep with melatonin therapy.[28] The authors propose
that melatonin be considered in trials to prevent the development of hypertension
in individuals with T1DM. In children with T1DM, administration of folate and vitamin
B6 each led to immediate normalization of FMD, which was sustained at 8-week followup.[29]
Findings suggest that, in the setting of T1DM with a high risk for vascular disease,
folate and B6 therapy could be beneficial, but the findings in these two trials
have not been duplicated.
OVERVIEW OF THE EVIDENCE FOR TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS
The incidence of T2DM has increased in parallel with the increased incidence of
obesity.[11],[12]
The highest prevalence of T2DM is seen in certain racial/ethnic groups, specifically
Native Americans, Hispanics, African Americans, Asians, and Pacific Islanders. The
hallmark of T2DM is insulin resistance, which is strongly associated with obesity.[30]
Among obese adolescents, insulin resistance has been reported in 16 percent of Caucasians,
27 percent of African Americans, and 26 percent of Hispanics. Although type 2 diabetes
is widely diagnosed in adults, its frequency has markedly increased in the pediatric
age group over the past two decades. Depending on the population studied, type 2
diabetes now represents 845 percent of all new cases of diabetes reported
among children and adolescents.[31]
Typically, children with T2DM are overweight or obese, are members of a high-risk
racial/ethnic group, and have a positive family history of T2DM. Current guidelines
from the American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommend routine testing for T2DM
in high-risk children starting at age 10 years, as shown in Table 111.[32]
Table 111. ADA Screening Recommendations for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM)
in Childhood
Criteria:
- Overweight, defined by:
- BMI > 85th percentile for age and sex, or
- Weight for height > 85th percentile, or
- Weight > 120% of ideal for height
Plus any two of the following risk factors:
- Family history of type 2 diabetes in first- or second-degree relative
- Race/ethnicity (Native American, AfricanAmerican, Latino, AsianAmerican,
Pacific Islander)
- Signs of insulin resistance or conditions associated with insulin resistance (acanthosis
nigricans, hypertension, dyslipidemia, or polycystic ovary syndrome)
Screening procedure:
Age of initiation:
≥10 years, or at onset of puberty, if puberty occurs at a younger age
Frequency:
Every 2 years
Test:
Fasting plasma glucose
Patients with T2DM are at risk for accelerated atherosclerosis because of hyperinsulinemia
and hyperglycemia and because of the strong association between T2DM and other major
risk factors for CVD, including obesity, hypertension, and dyslipidemia.[31],[33],[34],[35],[36]
As with T1DM, control of hyperglycemia in T2DM is mandatory and should be
in a setting where consultation with an endocrine specialist is possible if needed.
No recommendations for managing hyperglycemia are provided here. Aggressive management
of associated CV risk factors has been shown to improve vascular outcomes.[37],[38],[39]
On the other hand, aggressive control of glycemia in T2DM has not been shown to
reduce CVD events in adults with well-established and long-duration disease.[40],[41],[42],[43]
In evaluating the risk for CVD in adults, the presence of diabetes is considered
to be the equivalent of a history of coronary disease.[26]
The evidence review for these Guidelines identified only two studies relevant to
CV risk reduction in children or adolescents with T2DM . A single systematic review
addressing community-based lifestyle interventions to prevent T2DM in children included
eight studies published between 1990 and 2001.[44] The interventions
were all set in high-risk populations, and design problems included the absence
of comparison groups and brief intervention periods. On short-term followup, results
indicated improvements only in knowledge and preventive behaviors. An RCT of metformin
in children with T2DM showed significant improvements in glycemic control with medication
at up to 16-week followup.[45]
OVERVIEW OF THE EVIDENCE REVIEW FOR OTHER PREDISPOSING CONDITIONS
In certain pediatric disease states, the process of atherosclerosis is dramatically
accelerated, with clinical coronary events occurring in childhood and in early adulthood.
Probably the best example of this is homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, an
extremely rare condition in which low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC)
levels are markedly elevated from birth due to the absence or near absence of functional
hepatic LDL receptors. In this diagnosis, clinical coronary events begin in the
first decade of life, and aggressive lipid management is needed. For these Guidelines,
management of hypercholesterolemia is described in Section IX. Lipids and Lipoproteins.
Diabetes, another high-risk diagnosis, is addressed above, but there are other conditions
in which the risk of accelerated atherosclerosis is known to be high, that are not
necessarily identified in a risk factor-based evidence review such as the one preformed
for these Guidelines.
The Expert Panel recognized the importance of reviewing the evidence for these conditions
so that appropriate recommendations could be made to guide pediatric practice. A
separate category was created as part of the evidence review that identified potential
relevant diagnoses and included Kawasaki disease, postorthotopic heart transplant,
chronic kidney disease, nephrotic syndrome, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection,
and chronic inflammatory diseaseall of which may increase the risk for early
atherosclerosis and may require more aggressive control of CV risk factors. Although
data exist demonstrating a higher prevalence of early CVD and CV risk factors in
conditions such as these, the evidence review for these Guidelines was designed
to identify high-level studies, including systematic reviews, meta-analyses, RCTs,
and observational studies from selected large longitudinal cohorts.[46],[47]
Given the relatively small number of children with these diagnoses
and the early stage of knowledge in this area, it is not surprising that the evidence
review identified only three relevant RCTs, all in patients with chronic kidney
disease.
In the first of these, a small number of children with advanced chronic kidney disease
were treated with folic acid and placebo, and red cell folate levels, homocysteine
levels, and FMD were compared.[48]
On folic acid treatment, red cell folate levels increased, homocysteine levels
decreased, and FMD improved significantly. A second similar trial of oral L-arginine
from the same investigators showed no improvement in FMD.[49] Finally, a protein
restriction trial was shown to result in higher polyunsaturated/saturated fat ratios
in the diets of children with chronic kidney disease, with an associated decrease
in total and LDLC compared with a control group on a normal diet.[50]
These studies support the concept that risk factors can be changed and that arterial
function can be improved in patients with chronic kidney disease.
CONCLUSIONS OF THE EVIDENCE REVIEW FOR DIABETES AND OTHER PREDISPOSING CONDITIONS
Children with T1DM or T2DM represent the prototype of the child at special risk
for accelerated atherosclerosis and early clinical CVD. To maximize identification
of T2DM in childhood and adolescence, the ADA screening algorithm is recommended
for screening in all children (see Table 111).
A very limited number of high-quality studies were found addressing CV risk reduction
in children with conditions predisposing them to accelerated atherosclerosis, including
diabetes mellitus, which is insufficient for development of evidence-based recommendations.
The Expert Panel therefore elected to modify the recommendations of an expert pediatric
panel convened by the AHA that published its recommendations for risk factor management
in children with these conditions in 2006, after an extensive conventional literature
search; these recommendations are endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics
and are included in the database for these Guidelines.[1] These recommendations
therefore represent the expert consensus of the Panel (Grade D).
The AHA statement recommends specific risk identification and management stratified
by risk based on defined conditions that parallel the recommendations for adults
with diabetes or other CVD equivalents (see Table 112). For the high-risk
category, the disease process has been associated with clinical coronary disease
before age 30 years. For the moderate-risk category, the disease process has been
shown to be associated with pathologic, physiologic, or subclinical evidence of
accelerated atherosclerosis.
The Expert Panel believes that these recommendations should be used for the management
of children and adolescents with diabetes and other conditions predisposing to the
development of accelerated atherosclerosis, as outlined in the algorithm in Figure
111 and in Tables 112 and 113. With the growing evidence of CVD
in children with T2DM, the Expert Panel believes it is prudent to include both T1DM
and T2DM in the high-risk category.[51],[52] With the increasing
evidence of vascular dysfunction in children with HIV[53],[54]
and treatment-resistant nephrotic syndrome,[55] these two conditions are included
in the selected disease settings in the moderate-risk category. Patients in the
high-risk category require intensive management, with more aggressive goals for
therapy than those in the moderate-risk category as outlined in the algorithm in
Figure 111.

Step 4: Initial therapy: For tier I, initial management
is therapeutic lifestyle change PLUS disease-specific management (Table 113).
For tier II, initial management is therapeutic lifestyle change.
