Diabetes and atherosclerosis: an overview

G Steiner

    Diabetes
    |January 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Diabetes significantly increases atherosclerosis risk due to various factors like altered lipoproteins and clotting. Hyperinsulinemia may be a key contributor, highlighting the complexity of these conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Science
    • Endocrinology
    • Metabolic Disorders

    Background:

    • Atherosclerosis is a frequent complication of diabetes.
    • Multiple pathophysiologic factors link diabetes and atherosclerosis.
    • Hyperinsulinemia is increasingly recognized as a risk factor.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the multifaceted reasons for the high incidence of atherosclerosis in diabetic patients.
    • To investigate the role of hyperinsulinemia in the development of atherosclerosis.
    • To emphasize the complex, multifactorial nature of both diabetes and atherosclerosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of epidemiologic and pathophysiologic evidence.
    • Analysis of alterations in lipoproteins, platelets, and clotting factors.
    • Examination of vascular and metabolic changes associated with hyperinsulinemia.

    Main Results:

    • Identified alterations in lipoproteins, platelets, clotting factors, prostacyclin-thromboxane balance, blood pressure, and smooth muscle cell metabolism.
    • Linked many of these alterations to hyperinsulinemia.
    • Highlighted that diabetes and atherosclerosis are not single disorders.

    Conclusions:

    • Hyperinsulinemia is a significant risk factor for atherosclerosis in diabetic individuals.
    • Understanding the complex interplay of factors is crucial for managing diabetes complications.
    • Future research requires novel approaches to detect subtle, long-term changes in these complex disorders.
