A subgroup of diabetic patients with aortic valve pathology have increased fasting plasma GLP-1 levels, which may be of importance for the low prevalence of aortic dilation in this patient group. Further, in TAV patients, GLP-1 secretion and plasma levels of intact GLP-1 are upregulated in association with aortic dilation, possibly indicating a compensatory mechanism.
