  10. Epidemic of diabetes - causes

  11. There’s something wrong with this ….

  12. Causes of death in patients with diabetes Geiss LS et al. In: Diabetes in America 2nd ed. 1995: 233-257

  13. Diabetes and CV mortality % change in age adjusted mortality rate since 1979

  14. Diabetic patients are different Hyperglycaemia Accelerated CAD

  15. Risk Reduction

  16. Reducing cardiac risk in diabetic patients • Good Diabetic control • Treat Blood Pressure • Treat Cholesterol and lipid abnormalities • Treat increased risk of clotting • Lifestyle modifications

  17. What can be done?

  18. School fruit scheme (over 2 million children in 14,000 schools)

  19. Ban on tobacco advertising

  20. The First Diabetic Coronary Disease Clinic

  21. DCD Clinic rationale Patients with diabetes • die from CHD more often • are more difficult to diagnose often presenting with silent ischaemia or atypical symptoms • have more diffuse disease on presentation, with more LV dysfunction often first presenting with an ACS • suffer a more aggressive disease process • receive evidence based standard CHD treatments less often in both acute and clinic settings

  22. Clinic Aims • Allow earlier diagnosis of CHD in diabetic patients even when they present atypically • Commence and optimise evidence based medical therapies • “Fast-track” high risk patients to angiography and appropriate revascularisation

  23. Clinic Structure • Consultant Cardiologist led • DCD Specialist Nurse support • Referral base • General Practice • Endocrinologists • Cardiologists • General medical teams

  24. Our ResultsApril 2007 to April 2009 • 200 consecutive diabetic patients were followed up for 6 months • 105/200 had atypical symptoms on presentation • All patients received exercise, dietary and lifestyle education. • 99% had changes to initial medical therapy

  25. Modifiable Risk Factors

  26. Overall 10 year UKPDS Risk Score

  27. The Future • DCD clinic in every NHS trust ??? • Asymptomatic diabetic patients
