Heart Disease And Diabetes
Diabetic people are at a higher risk of heart attack. Women are more prone to heart disease as the protective layer before the menopause no longer exists due to diabetes. Many undiagnosed diabetic patients realise the condition when they actually suffer a heart attack.
Coronary Artery Disease is twice as frequent in diabetic men and four times as frequent in diabetic women after menopause compared to non‐diabetics.
Most of the times, undiagnosed diabetes worsens the cardiac condition making the case more complicated.
Look out for the following signs of diabetes:
Blurry vision Increased thirst or the need to urinate Feeling tired or ill Recurring skin, gum or bladder infections Dry, itchy skin Unexpected weight loss Slow healing cuts or bruises Loss of feeling in the feet or tingling feet
In case you notice any one of them, consult our experts at Apollo Clinics who can analyse your case and give you professional advice regarding the possible complications, precautions and cure.
Risk Factors
Following are the metabolic and biochemical dysfunctions due to diabetes which further increase or worsen the condition of heart:
Hyperglycaemia Hyperinsulinemia Insulin resistance Diabetic dyslipidemia Renin angiotensin activation
Cardiac Dysfunction
Impaired calcium cycling Abnormal sympathetic function Reduced cardiac compliance and diastolic dysfunction
