Cardiovascular risk in diabetes mellitus: Epidemiology, assessment and prevention
Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Secular changes in CVD outcomes have occurred over the past few decades, mainly due to a decline in the incidence of ischaemic heart disease. The onset of T2DM at a young age (<40 years), leading to a greater number of life-years lost, has also become increasingly common. Researchers are now looking beyond established risk factors in patients with T2DM towards the role of ectopic fat and, potentially, haemodynamic abnormalities in mediating important outcomes (such as heart failure). T2DM confers a wide spectrum of risk and is not necessarily a CVD risk equivalent, indicating the importance of risk assessment strategies (such as global risk scoring, consideration of risk-enhancing factors and assessment of subclinical atherosclerosis) to inform treatment. Data from epidemiological studies and clinical trials demonstrate that successful control of multiple risk factors can reduce the risk of CVD events by ≥50%; however, only ≤20% of patients achieve targets for risk factor reduction (plasma lipid levels, blood pressure, glycaemic control, body weight and non-smoking status). Improvements in composite risk factor control with lifestyle management (including a greater emphasis on weight loss interventions) and evidence-based generic and novel pharmacological therapies are therefore needed when the risk of CVD is high.

Individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus and prediabetes have a 2- to 7-fold higher risk of developing vascular events, mainly major macrovascular diseases and microvascular diseases.
“Individuals with T2DM and prediabetes have 2- to 7-fold higher risk of developing vascular events,3 mainly including major macrovascular diseases (e.g., myocardial infarction, stroke, or heart failure (HF)) and microvascular diseases (e.g., chronic kidney diseases or retinopathy).”
In spite of adequate glycemic control and advanced drug treatment for diabetes, vascular events remain the leading contributors to morbidity and mortality for adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus and prediabetes.
“In spite of adequate glycemic control and advanced drug treatment for diabetes, these vascular events remain the leading contributors to morbidity and mortality for adults with T2DM and prediabetes.3”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
