According to the latest information, type 2 diabetes, about 80% of patients die of cardiovascular disease, especially ischemic heart disease, there are 10 ~ 15% died of cerebral vascular disease, there are still some patients died from malignant tumors and diabetic nephropathy. China recently concluded a large-scale study also showed that about 80% of patients with coronary heart disease combined with sugar metabolism disorders, including more than half of that of type 2 diabetes, as well as the early stage of type 2 diabetes, “sub-healthy” state, that is, glucose to reduce the tolerance (IGT) or impaired fasting glucose (IFG).
These data have fully proved that as early as in 1999, the American Heart Association on the assertion made by: diabetes is a cardiovascular disease. Can also be said that diabetes is a risk of heart disease and other disorders. Why is diabetes so easy to hurt “heart” mean?
Diabetes, especially type 2 diabetic patients prone to cardiovascular complications of the reason why is because type 2 diabetes and coronary heart disease, hypertension, obesity, hyperlipidemia and other diseases there are many inter-related genetic susceptibility genes, it is internal. In addition, patients with type 2 diabetes are frequently complicated with fatty liver, high uric acid or gout, etc. In fact, these anomalies with these disorders have a common susceptibility genes, can be called “sister disease.” Type 2 diabetes caused by metabolic disorders, covering almost all the risk factors related to cardiovascular disease, such as high blood sugar, blood lipid disorders, hypertension, high visceral fat, high blood viscosity, high weight, high blood coagulation state, high insulin blood disorders, vascular endothelial dysfunction, low-grade systemic inflammation. Any one can be a independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, but combined with type 2 diabetes for at least a “three high” for more than a few patients can even be as many as 10 are not normal, the risk factors for cardiovascular disease if you do not lifted as soon as possible long period of time is very likely to cause diabetes, heart disease. While the lives of patients with type 2 diabetes is the most harmful diabetes, heart disease. Compared with non-diabetics, diabetic patients the incidence of heart disease 2 to 4 times its not only a high incidence and the incidence of early, rapid development, there are a considerable number of patients with diabetes and coronary heart disease found that almost simultaneously, and some even in the treatment of the long after the heart attack that she was found to have diabetes. In diabetic patients, in addition to coronary atherosclerosis, the often accompanied by the merger of myocardial damage and cardiac autonomic nervous system, so that the seriousness of diabetes, heart disease is far greater than non-diabetic people with coronary heart disease.
Therefore, in order and healthy life with diabetes, we must maintain a relatively “young heart”, and actively combating diabetes, heart disease.
