Diabetes induced by a new evidence of coronary heart disease

Many people can lead to heart disease risk factors: high cholesterol, smoking, high blood pressure, family history of disease, including diabetes. However, the latest data indicate that the incidence of diabetes in the course of heart disease played a more important role in diagnosis of diabetes in the moment, we should start protecting the heart.

Robert W, MD, Rush Medical College is the University of Michigan associate professor of clinical medicine, endocrine physician. He found an increasing number of patients suffering from diabetes and heart disease at the same time, many patients suffering from pre-diabetes or diabetes, but they are not aware of diabetes on the heart of their negative impact. He pointed out that there is now sufficient evidence to indicate this fact: it is heart disease began to rise in glucose levels when germination. As a result, early treatment of diabetes prevention and treatment for heart disease is also important.

John Fleming famous heart study data indicate that the incidence of diabetes in the course of heart disease played a more important role. Researchers in two different time periods on the age of 45 to 64 people between the 9500 survey, and their heart disease and cardiovascular events (including heart attack) risk factors for contrast. Preliminary study found that in between 1952 to 1974, type 2 diabetes so that the 5.2% deterioration in patients with heart disease. However, between 1975 to 1998 on the back of a group of study patients, the percentage rose sharply to 7.8%.

Dr.Lash pointed out that the study sent to the people of the risk of a number of important signal: With the increasing weight of people, sitting motionless longer time, suffering from diabetes (with or without heart disease heart disease) of the number continues to grow, of which about 65% of patients will die of cardiovascular disease.

In an earlier study, researchers from others with diabetes, there is a history of heart attack patients and two patients with both diseases had a follow-up survey. Seven years later, compared with patients suffering from heart disease alone, patients with diabetes and heart disease risk of another attack more than twice as high.

"When asked about such a study of patients, I tell them about what it?"Dr.Lash said, "First of all, to prevent diabetes, make the greatest efforts to prevent diabetes. Diet and active lifestyle is the most effective prevention of diabetes strategy, at least do not let the weight gain. Second, if you have diabetes, talk with the doctor and asked what the drug would reduce the risk of heart disease, these may include the treatment of high blood pressure and high cholesterol medication. If appropriate, also should ask the importance of aspirin every day. "

The adoption of the new research, combined with the fact that - in diabetic patients with cardiovascular disease risk of dying from heart disease so high,Dr.Lash discovered an important principle: patients and doctors need to make every effort to actively to prevent diabetes, and to ensure that diabetic patients with appropriate treatment, to reduce the incidence of heart disease.
