Globalization, increase in the economy and the lifestyle has promoted Cardiovascular deaths as the leading cause of death amongst all causes. Diabetes; a significant risk factor of Cardiovascular disease is associated with great risk of morbidity and mortality accounting for up to two-thirds of all deaths in the diabetic population. Evidence suggests that hyperglycemia, the hallmark of diabetes, along with other associated factors contributes to myocardial damage after ischemic events and ultimately triggers the CV mortality and morbidity. Reducing coronary risk from diabetes requires a multifactorial approach to manage all atherogenic influences with change in the lifestyle manner.

Abstract


Globalization, increase in the economy and the lifestyle has promoted Cardiovascular deaths as the leading cause of death amongst all causes. Diabetes; a significant risk factor of Cardiovascular disease is associated with great risk of morbidity and mortality accounting for up to two-thirds of all deaths in the diabetic population. Evidence suggests that hyperglycemia, the hallmark of diabetes, along with other associated factors contributes to myocardial damage after ischemic events and ultimately triggers the CV mortality and morbidity. Reducing coronary risk from diabetes requires a multifactorial approach to manage all atherogenic influences with change in the lifestyle manner.
