Genetic determinants of diabetes and atherosclerosis

Current Atherosclerosis Reports
Braxton D Mitchell, Ikhide G Imumorin

Abstract

Common risk factors for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease are suspected because of the higher than expected prevalence of cardiovascular disease in individuals with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes and in nondiabetic individuals with impaired glucose tolerance. Some of these risk factors may be genetic in origin. The risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease may be linked through common pathways, including insulin resistance and/or inflammation. In this review, we describe the rationale for proposing these as common mechanisms affecting both diabetes and cardiovascular risk, and we then summarize the available evidence suggesting that common genes within these pathways have pleiotropic effects influencing susceptibility to both diseases.

CV Disorders & Type 2 Diabetes

This feed focuses on the association of cardiovascular diseases in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Cardiovascular Inflammation

Inflammation plays a significant role in the development of cardiovascular diseases, an understanding of these endogenous processes is critical for evaluating the risks and potential treatment strategies. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular inflammation here.

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.
