Assessment of Cardiovascular Risk in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Associated Obesity and Ways of Its Correction

Abstract

The aim: To analyze and calculate CVR in patients with T2DM and concomitant obesity. Materials and methods: The selection of patients was carried out based on the Uzhhorod District Clinical Hospital, in the period from November 2016 to January 2020. All patients were divided into 3 groups: 1 (n=93) with T2DM and concomitant obesity, 2 (n=87) with T2DM, 3 (n=39) with obesity. The treatment period lasted 1 year and included dosed exercise for at least 30 minutes per day and dietary recommendations. Patients in groups 1 and 2 received metformin 850 mg twice daily in combination with dapagliflozin 10 mg once daily. CVR was determined at the time of enrollment and after 1 year of treatment using: American College of Cardiology / American Heart Association Guideline on the Assessment of Cardiovascular Risk (2013) (ASCVD Risk) and Framingham Risk Score (FRS). Results: The data obtained as a result of the study revealed the highest CVR in patients of group 1, in contrast to group 2 and 3 (p<0.05). After 1 year of complex treatment, CVR indicators were statistically significantly reduced in all experimental groups (p<0.05). Conclusions: Determining CVR parameters and exposure to them within 10 years can remove unwanted cardiovascular complications.

Effect of exercise on cognitive impairment in patients undergoing haemodialyses: A systematic review and meta‐analysis of randomised controlled trials

“…This recommendation is consistent with the findings of this review as only those exercising for more than 30 min demonstrated an improvement in cognitive impairment. An increasing number of studies report that exercise lasting for at least 30 min plays an essential role in reducing cardiovascular risk factors (Griadil et al, 2021; Ting et al, 2015; Warburton & Bredin, 2016), which have been linked with cognitive impairment (Maasakkers et al, 2020). Additionally, a review found that cognitive performance could be immediately improved after a single bout of exercise at least for 30 min (Chang et al, 2012).…”

Diabetes mellitus and severity by COVID-19 in hospitalized Brazilians

“…A gravidade mostrou-se, ainda, associada significativamente a todas as covariáveis inseridas no modelo da regressão. O prognóstico da gravidade da associação entre DM e COVID-19 tem várias explicações: por ser uma condição crônica que altera as funções metabólicas, o paciente diabético possui resposta imunológica ineficaz frente às infecções, tornando o organismo inapto a proteger-se contra dados fisio-Garces TS, Sousa GJB, Cestari VRF, Mattos SM, Florêncio RS, Pereira MLD, et al lógicos (15) , além disso, o diabetes amplia o risco de fibrose pulmonar e diminui a função respiratória (16) , sendo considerado um promotor da vulnerabilidade cardiovascular (17) .…”
