Diabetes and Cardiology

Diabetes is a cardio metabolic disease that is characterized by inflammation. It raises practically every cardiovascular risk factor, and the majority of diabetics die from cardiac disease. However, recent clinical research findings combined with patient education provide new ways to enhance cardiovascular outcomes in diabetic patients. Diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD) have a complicated and multiple pathogenesis. Understanding these complex disease mechanisms can aid doctors in detecting and treating CVD in diabetic patients, as well as assisting patients in avoiding these potentially fatal consequences.

Diabetic cardiomyopathy is defined as cardiovascular diseases in diabetic patients that are not caused by another known CVD, such as hypertension or coronary artery disease. Patients with diabetes are vulnerable to heart failure even early in the course of their disease due to the anatomical and functional abnormalities that occur in diabetic cardiomyopathy.
