Coronary heart disease = diabetes?

High blood glucose, coronary heart disease, stroke, seems unrelated, but inextricably linked. In order to address cardiovascular diseases in patients with abnormal glucose metabolism exist in a large number of problems.
Master Chen has just been hospitalized due to coronary heart disease, doctors gave him check blood sugar, but also in the sugar after the blood, which makes him puzzled, “I came to see heart disease, how can also check blood sugar?” In fact, the above-mentioned Cardiology confused a minority of patients. People’s Liberation Army General Hospital, told the Endocrine Copan, Professor Chang-yu “Life Times” reporter on the etiology of coronary heart disease and diabetes are closely linked, like one of the two melons grown on the dendrites, both suffering from any one of them, and then suffering another The odds will be greatly increased. Therefore, she reminded coronary heart disease patients, must be concerned about their blood sugar.
”Diabetes is equivalent coronary heart disease”
In the American Diabetes Association, there is a saying: diabetes, coronary heart disease equivalent. Seemed sound alarmist, but it is based on a large number of long-term study of the medical profession. Pan Chang-Yu told reporters, according to research, 70% – 80% of people with diabetes eventually die of cardio-cerebral vascular diseases. Finland took a 18-year study results show that diabetes, without coronary heart disease in patients with coronary heart disease, non-diabetic patients the survival rate curves overlap. Based on this, “U.S. National Cholesterol Education Program adult treatment guidelines Ⅲ” (ATPIII) clearly points out that diabetes and coronary heart disease is “and other Dangerous Disease.”
In turn, the number of people with coronary heart disease patients with blood sugar a problem? 5,000 people took part in the heart of Europe survey results showed that in patients diagnosed with coronary heart disease, if the blood glucose testing, 2 / 3 of people high blood sugar. “In the heart of China recently concluded survey, this proportion is 78%. Both of which the abnormal glucose tolerance, but also mildly elevated fasting glucose, and even some of them have reached the diagnostic criteria for diabetes.” Pan Chang-yu said, .
Fasting blood glucose to normal is not equal to normal blood glucose
Coronary heart disease, diabetes and why the shadow each other, go hand in hand? Pan Chang-Yu explained that the current study found that diabetes and coronary heart disease share a common genetic background, another common way of life as the bad soil, close is not difficult to understand. “And our ultimate aim is not only to prevent coronary heart disease patients, but also prevention of diabetes in patients with cardio-cerebral vascular accident onto the road of no return.”
The chef admitted to hospital, Chen fasting blood glucose checked before the result is normal, but do oral glucose tolerance test, or oral administration of 75 g anhydrous glucose 2 hours after the blood glucose test, it was significantly higher than the reference value of. Pan Chang-yu said, this is called “impaired glucose tolerance”, blood glucose levels between normal and diabetes later, it shows the body deal with sugar in patients with impaired in their ability, “It is noteworthy that the Chinese people are more susceptible than Europe and the United States Sugar damage tolerance. “Therefore, if only to check fasting blood glucose, there will be a large number of missed diagnosis in patients with impaired glucose tolerance, resulting in adversely affected by illness.
Check blood glucose in patients with coronary heart disease are the
Coronary heart disease coupled with a high blood sugar, as worse, high blood sugar in patients with coronary heart disease myocardial infarction, stroke, put-stent restenosis, would greatly increase the chances of sudden death, a serious threat to patient survival. She therefore appealed to all patients with coronary heart disease, and the family history of diabetes, age over 40 years of age, smoking, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes or pregnancy have occurred in patients with birth macrosomia, blood sugar tests every year, if necessary, make candy tolerance test. Once problems are detected, we should as soon as possible interventions, including medication and lifestyle changes to avoid from the “impaired glucose tolerance” to continue development of diabetes, diabetes complications occurred.
Attention to blood sugar, take the initiative to do inspections to assess their health, is responsible for the performance of themselves and their families.
