My name is Fernando Florido and I am a GP in the United Kingdom. In this podcast I I give my summary of the online course by the EASD learning website “Cardiovascular health and diabetes”.This podcast will be saved on a website. There is also a YouTube video on this subject and other NICE guidance. You can access the channel here:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClrwFDI15W5uH3uRGuzoovw The online course can be found on the EASD learning website:https://easd-elearning.org/courses/cardiovascular-health-and-diabetes/ Intro / outro music: Track: Halfway Through — Broke In Summer [Audio Library Release]Music provided by Audio Library PlusWatch: https://youtu.be/aBGk6aJM3IUFree Download / Stream: https://alplus.io/halfway-throughTranscriptHello everyone and welcome to the channel. My name is Fernando Florido and I am a GP in the United Kingdom. Today we are going to talk about the link between cardiovascular health and diabetes. The information that I am going to give is based on an online course that is available on the EASD learning website. I highly recommend it and I will put the link to access this course in the episode description. It has seven modules and it is likely to take you between 5 and 7 hours to complete it, depending on how quickly you can process the information. Today’s episode is a summary of the course, which I hope that you will find useful. As ever, remember that there is a YouTube version of this episode and the link to the YouTube channel is also in the episode description.People with type 2 diabetes have twice as many coronary heart disease and strokes as those without it. At first glance, you could think it was too much, but in reality, this is a significant improvement. Previous data indicated that the risk of cardiovascular disease increased by around four to six times. Thus, doubling the risk indicates a significant improvement. Blood pressure control and strict cholesterol treatment are now standard management. And as a result, there are far fewer atherosclerotic events that affect persons with type 2 diabetes. However, as a result, heart failure is now becoming more common.According to research, people with type 1 diabetes have steadily experienced a decline in CVD, CV mortality, and CV hospitalisation. However, there is still a significant gap between those who have type 1 diabetes and those who do not.The same research, however, revealed that those with type 2 diabetes had experienced a far bigger improvement, resulting in, at worst, a doubling of the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), hospitalisation for CVD, and cardiovascular mortality. And once more, this has been associated with intensive blood pressure and cholesterol management; perhaps this is something that might be applied to patients with type 1 diabetes, where the focus is still often on glycaemia-related issues.According to other studies, people with type 2 diabetes have an increased chance of developing heart failure. This increased risk is most noticeable in the middle-aged group, perhaps those up to the age of 55, and it appears to be less of an issue as people get older. Therefore, heart failure is now one of the most significant CVD symptoms in persons with type 2 diabetes.Atherosclerotic disease, coronary heart disease, or strokes are still the earliest signs of vascular illness in the non-diabetic population. However, peripheral vascular disease or heart failure are the most typical early presentations of vascular disease in persons with type 2 diabetes.Heart failure in diabetics is caused by a number of different ways. First, excess atherosclerotic disease. Also, the heart's ability to operate can then be impacted by hypertension itself. Additionally, a lot of our patients are now recovering from myocardial infarctions, and as time passes, the ventricle develops scarring that exacerbates heart failure. Furthermore, apart from atherosclerosis and hypertension, there is a heart condition known as "diabetic cardiomyopathy" that damages the myocardium. The ventricle becomes extremely stiff due to a combination of metabolic and pathological causes, making it difficult for the ventricle to relax and fill. And finally, diabetic autonomic neuropathy also plays a role in the development of heart disease in patients with diabetes.Variations in glycaemic control and chronic hyperglycaemia are recognised epidemiologically as risk factors for cardiovascular disease in people with diabetes.There are now numerous things we can do for our patients with diabetes to lower cardiovascular risk, just as there are numerous risk factors for heart disease in those with diabetes. One factor we take into account is lifestyle, but studies have shown that this is a pretty unsatisfactory intervention when we focus on heart disease, frequently failing to show any benefit on lowering cardiovascular disease rates. However, we continue to believe that lifestyle intervention is crucial for some people.After bariatric ...
