Cardiovascular Disease and Its Risk Factors in IDDM in Europe

Abstract: The overall prevalence of CVD in these IDDM patients was approximately 10%, increasing with age and duration of diabetes and with a sixfold variation between different European centers. CVD prevalence was most strongly associated with elevated triglyceride and decreased HDL cholesterol concentrations. CVD was also associated with albuminuria, but when adjusted by age, this association vanished. Increasing waist-to-hip ratio was associated with a number of adverse characteristics, particularly in IDDM men, refl… Show more

“…1,2 In particular, patients with clinical diabetic nephropathy and a long duration of diabetes have an extremely high morbidity from macrovascular disease. [2][3][4][5] Proteinuria and microalbuminuria in patients with type 1 diabetes are known to be associated with several adverse cardiovascular risk factors, including hypertension and lipoprotein abnormalities, characterized mainly by elevated serum total and LDL cholesterol and high total and VLDL triglyceride levels, low HDL cholesterol, and low ApoA1 levels. 6 -8 Chronic hyperglycemia 9 -12 and poor glycemic control [13][14][15][16] have been implicated in the pathogenesis of microvascular complications in patients with type 1 diabetes, but little data are available on the role of these factors for the development of macrovascular complications.…”

“…Entretanto, este comportamento não foi observado no grupo de púberes, que apresentou menor tempo de duração do DM do que o grupo de adultos. Possivelmente este achado se deve ao fato de que a maior duração da doença está relacionada à maior ocorrência de complicações crônicas, que freqüentemente são associadas com aumento da pressão arterial (2). Não observamos correlação entre PAS e PAD com IMC, o que pode decorrer da nossa população ter incluído predominantemente pacientes com IMC normal.…”

“…Dois estudos, baseados em aferição auscultatória da PAS e PAD, demonstraram que a hipertensão pode ser em alguns pacientes fator de risco para doença coronariana, independente da presença de nefropatia diabética incipiente e/ou clínica (2,18). Entretanto, no paciente que apresentou alterações tensionais apenas no primeiro dia de aferição da pressão arterial, não podemos excluir o fenômeno do "white coat hypertension", descrito em pacientes não diabéti-cos, especialmente se a aferição é realizada por médico (19).…”
