Influence of Family History of Diabetes on Cardiac Autonomic Dysfunction of Adolescents

Abstract

The main risk factors for the pathogenesis of DM are related to family history and lifestyle, such as impaired fasting blood glucose, reduced glucose tolerance, gestational diabetes, birth weight greater than 4 kg, sedentary lifestyle, dyslipidemia (triglycerides 360

Identification of Preclinical Markers Related to Hereditary Diseases: Expanding the Horizons of the Study of Cardiac Autonomic Modulation

“…6 Early determination of CAN is vital to the success of therapeutic input, as it has been suggested that cardiovascular denervation may be reversible if diagnosed soon after onset, through a combination of nonpharmacological and pharmacological approaches, including lifestyle modification, intensive glycemic control, and treating underlying risk factors, such as hyperlipidemia and hypertension. 9 Dias-Filho et al 10 , conducted a Brazilian multicenter study to evaluate cardiac autonomic modulation of adolescents with a family history of diabetic parents. They selected 69 teenagers from state public schools, aged 11 to 18 years, 23 with family history of diabetes.…”
