The mortality rate of cardiovascular disease in diabetes is so high

Diabetic heart disease is a cardiovascular disease complicated or associated with diabetes, including diabetic cardiomyopathy, cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy, hypertension, and coronary heart disease. The incidence and mortality of cardiovascular disease in diabetic patients is 2-3 times higher than that in non-diabetic patients. The average life expectancy of cardiovascular disease and diabetes is 15 years. Diabetes is one of the more common diseases in the middle-aged and elderly population. Clinically, when the disease progresses to a certain stage, various complications will occur and the disease will be accelerated.

The mortality rate of cardiovascular disease in diabetes is so high

A study released by British researchers on the 7th showed that people with both cardiovascular disease and diabetes had an average lifespan of 15 years shorter than those with or without these two diseases. From 1960 to 2010, Cambridge University and other institutions collected 1.2 million volunteers and conducted long-term follow-up investigations on their health. With the help of big data, the researchers analyzed more than 135,000 deaths and estimated the proportion of people with diabetes, stroke, and myocardial infarction in the deceased, and compared it with other people.


The results showed that one in every 100 people had two or more cardiovascular and metabolic diseases among the respondents. If you have both cardiovascular disease and diabetes, it will generally reduce the life expectancy of a person. For people over the age of 60, their life expectancy will be reduced by an average of 15 years.

John Danesh, head of the School of Public Health and Primary Care at the University of Cambridge, said that although there are only a handful of people with the above-mentioned diseases, this study has sounded the alarm, and anyone with one of these diseases should be even more Pay attention to health and avoid multiple diseases at the same time.

1. Diabetes (mainly type 2 diabetes) has a high incidence of concomitant or complicated cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which is 3-5 times higher than that of normal people, accounting for about 1/3 of diabetics.

2. The age of diabetes associated with or complicated with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases tends to be younger, generally about 5 years earlier than non-diabetics.

3. Diabetes with or with coronary heart disease mortality is high, in type 2 diabetes, the mortality rate accounts for about 50%.

4. Diabetes with or complicated by myocardial infarction or cerebrovascular disease is easy to recurrent, which greatly increases the mortality rate.

5. Diabetes or associated with heart disease due to atypical symptoms, patients are difficult to prevent, more likely to die.

6. Because diabetes is associated with high blood pressure, so hemorrhagic cerebrovascular disease is not uncommon, and the mortality rate can be as high as 90% or more.

Diabetic cardiovascular disease mortality is high, but the terrible is not diabetes cardiovascular disease, but more than two-thirds of diabetic patients still do not know the close relationship between diabetes and cardiovascular disease, do not know diabetes patients in addition to strict control of blood sugar It is also necessary to strictly control blood lipids and blood pressure, and timely correct the high blood viscosity, high blood coagulation and hyperinsulinemia in the body.
