Insulin resistance: a multifaceted syndrome responsible for NIDDM, obesity, hypertension, dyslipidaemia and atherosclerosis

The Netherlands Journal of Medicine
R A DeFronzo

Abstract

Insulin resistance syndrome (IRS) has the potential to explain a large group of common metabolic and cardiovascular disorders [e.g., obesity, non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, hypercoagulability] which are all in themselves cardiovascular risk factors. This contribution firstly reviews the convincing evidence from glucose-clamp studies that all of these conditions are characterised by the presence of combined insulin resistance and hyperinsulinaemia, and secondly examines the relationships of the components of this syndrome to coronary artery disease and to the rational choice of antihypertensive therapy.

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.

Antihypertensive Agents: Mechanisms of Action

Antihypertensive drugs are used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) which aims to prevent the complications of high blood pressure, such as stroke and myocardial infarction. Discover the latest research on antihypertensive drugs and their mechanism of action here.

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.
