Preventing heart failure in patients with diabetes

The Medical Clinics of North America
Preethi Srikanthan, Willa Hsueh

Abstract

Diabetic cardiomyopathy is characterized by a prominent interstitial fibrosis. Postulated etiologies include microangiopathy, autonomic neuropathy, and metabolic factors. A common root of these pathologies is hyperglycemia or hyperinsulinemia, both of which are prominent in type 2 diabetes mellitus, which has the highest incidence of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The relative importance of each factor is a matter of debate; it is likely that both of these factors in addition to the concomitant risk factors seen in diabetics (dyslipidemias, hypertension, obesity, coagulation abnormalities) contribute to the spectrum of myocardial disease in diabetes. A discussion of these contributive pathologies and the hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia that underlie them is the subject of this review. Treatment methodologies to control the development of such pathology also are discussed.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
