Type 2 diabetes: “sweet crisis” of the cardiovascular system

Type 2 diabetes is inextricably linked to cardiovascular diseases, and the risks to the health of diabetics cannot be minimized. Today, let’s talk about the effects of type 2 diabetes on the cardiovascular system. First, diabetes causes vascular disease. Long-term high blood sugar causes silent damage to inner-vascular cells. Once the inside of the vein is damaged, it is as if the inner walls of a smooth pipe have become flat, where fat, cholesterol, etc. in the blood, are easily deposited, forming an artery porridge stubble. These spots will gradually increase the vascular wall, harden it and narrow the cavity, affecting the smooth flow of blood. The coronary artery, for example, is an important artery that provides blood to the heart, and if porridge is hardened and the heart is not provided with enough blood, it causes an arrhythmia, and diabetics often feel grafted pain in their chests, as if there was a boulder on their chest, which could even lead to myocardial infarction in serious cases, which is a very dangerous situation and could endanger life in a moment. Second, diabetes also affects the nerve function of the heart. The heart nerve is responsible for regulating the rhythm and contraction of the heart. In the event of diabetes, the heart neurosis is likely to cause a cardiac autoneurological disorder. At this point, the heart beats like a loss of precise command, which can result in abnormal rates, sometimes excessive heart rate, causing panic and heart failure; sometimes the heart beats too slowly, and can cause dizziness, fatigue or even fainting. Moreover, the ability of the heart to react to motor or other stress is reduced and the blood supply cannot be adjusted in a timely manner to the needs of the body, further increasing the heart burden. Furthermore, diabetes patients are often associated with haemoglobin abnormalities and hypertension, which are linked to high blood sugar and form a “bad alliance” that significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. Plasmodium abnormalities increase the mucousity of the blood and make it easier to form a clot; hypertension causes additional pressure on the vascular wall and accelerates the process of vascular disease. In order to maximize the protection of cardiovascular health, reduce the incidence of cardiovascular diseases and improve the quality of life in the long struggle against diabetes, persons with type 2 diabetes must be fully aware of the potential risks to their own cardiovascular system and take effective measures to prevent and treat them.
