Scientists have reported an increased heart risk in diabetes
The risk of sudden cardiac death is significantly higher in people with both types of diabetes, especially among young people. This was reported on December 3 in Medical Xpress.
The researchers analyzed 54,028 deaths using death certificates, hospital data, and autopsy results. A total of 6,862 cases of sudden cardiac death were identified. Comparing groups of people with type I and type II diabetes and without diabetes, scientists found that the risk of sudden cardiac death in people with type I diabetes is 3.7 times higher, and with type II diabetes is 6.5 times higher than in the general population. In people under the age of 50, the risk increased up to seven times.
The average life expectancy for people with type 1 diabetes was 14.2 years less, and for those with type 2 diabetes it was 7.9 years less. Sudden cardiac death accounted for 3.4 years in people with type 1 diabetes and 2.7 years in people with type 2 diabetes.
The causes of increased risk include coronary artery disease, hypoglycemia, and diabetic autonomic cardioneuropathy, which can provoke arrhythmias. Experts noted that although the study does not prove a causal relationship, the relationship highlights the importance of controlling cardiovascular risk in patients with diabetes.
In the future, scientists plan to identify groups of people with diabetes at particularly high risk and develop prevention strategies, including the use of implantable defibrillators and wearable devices for early detection of cardiac arrhythmias.
Earlier, on September 15, the CCTV channel talked about the dangers of sugar in drinks. It was clarified that 30 grams of sugar in drinks have a more pronounced negative effect on the body compared to food with the same content. According to the publication, frequent consumption of appropriate beverages affects the risk of developing type II diabetes.
