Diabetes and CVD • In people with diabetes: • Heart disease strikes people with diabetes, twice as often as people without diabetes. • CVS complications occur at an earlier age and often result in premature death. • Diabetics are 2-4 times more likely to suffer strokes and once having had a stroke, are 2-4 times as likely to have a recurrence. • Deaths from heart disease in diabetic women have increased 23 %over the past 30 years compared to a 27 % decrease in women without diabetes. • Deaths from heart disease in men with diabetes have decreased by only 13 % compared to a 36 % decrease in men without diabetes.
Glycemia Is a Cardiovascular Risk Factor: Plausible Biochemical Mechanisms
Haffner Study 1998
Haffner Study • Conclusions Our data suggest that diabetic patients without previous myocardial infarction have as high a risk of myocardial infarction as nondiabetic patients with previous myocardial infarction. These data provide a rationale for treating cardiovascular risk factors in diabetic patients as aggressively as in nondiabetic patients with prior myocardial infarction.

Pathogenesis of Increased CVD in Diabetes • Metabolic Factors Hyperglycemia Lipids , lipoproteins FFA, insulin resistance • Hypertension
Hyperglycemia and Vascular Disease: Pathogenesis • Many aspects of coagulation impaired • Platelet behaviour abnormal: • Hypersensitive to stimuli • Clot lysis inhibited: • Higher Plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 levels • Fibrinogen levels elevated; Disordered kinetics
Insulin resistance – the link between CVD and type 2 diabetes • Insulin resistance is an independent predictor of CVD2 • Insulin resistance is closely linked to a number of CVD risk factors3 • Insulin resistance may develop 20+ years before onset of type 2 diabetes:4 ~50% of newly diagnosed patients show signs of CVD5 • NCEP recognises type 2 diabetes as a coronary heart disease risk equivalent6 2Bonora E, et al.
