How can Diabetics Prevent Heart Disease?

Diabetes and Heart disease

Experts say people with diabetes should be alert to heart disease. A recent study reveals that people with diabetes are at increased risk of heart disease. Researchers have found that unexpected changes occur in the heartbeat of those with chronic diabetes. It is a big mistake for diabetics to think that they are taking tablets for sugar and so their blood sugar levels are under control. Experts warn that even long-term medications for diabetes may, by chance, risk heart failure.

Blood percentage is the standard factor:

The heart is in the left ventricle, where the blood is purified and pumped into the arteries. However, diabetes has the risk of decreasing the standard portion (pre surgical ejection fraction measurement) of blood from the left ventricle during congestion and dilation. If the blood volume is less than the standard dose from the ventricle, it can lead to heart failure. Cardiologists say that it is not possible for diabetics to adjust to just the sugar levels.

Cardiovascular diseases, such as hypertension and arterial thrombosis, are thought to be the cause of heart attacks. Researchers, after a study of many people, including patients at a medical college, concluded that this was not always the case. Tests based on diabetic cardiopathy and heart attack have also shown that heart failure is the result of diabetes.

In the study, scientists have examined the effect of diabetes on heart failure in the long term in terms of the standard fraction of ejection fraction measurement of blood released from the heart during a heart attack. The study compared 116 diabetics with 232 non-diabetics treated for hypertension, coronary artery disease and other cardiovascular diseases. The study, which lasted for ten years, found that one-fifth of diabetic patients had a heart attack.

Only twelve percent of people without diabetes suffer from a heart attack. They did not study only a difference in the statistics of heart attack victims in these two groups. Researchers said they had studied diabetes mellitus (diabetes) on its own risk of heart failure. This study helps to understand deeper and faster the risk of heart disease caused by diabetes.

Blood pumping ability:

The percentage of ejection fraction that pumps blood from the ventricle into the arteries is usually between 50 and 70 percent. Heart failure can occur despite normal ejection fraction. This is known as heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. If the heart muscle is damaged due to a heart attack, heart failure and a problem with the heart valves, ejection fraction (pumping count) is low. In general, the minimum capacity for pumping blood should be between 50 and 65 percent.

But, if it (ejection fraction) falls below 35 percent, it can lead to sudden cardiac arrest. Pumping is defined as the percentage of blood pumping from the left ventricle to the arteries for each heartbeat, if it is greater than fifty percent. At the same time, the blood supplied to the body by the arteries becomes less than normal if the heart's left ventricle is not filled.

Can increase capacity:

If the heart's pumping capacity is less than forty percent to fifty-four percent, then the purified blood supply may not be adequate for other parts of the body. If the heart muscles and valves are damaged, the pumping capacity will be less than 35% and the risk of heart attack will be high. Fifty percent of patients with a pumping rate of twenty-five percent will have a life expectancy of five years. Twenty-five percent of the life expectancy is up to ten years, if cautious. Medical experts say that some lifestyle changes may increase the ability of the blood from the ventricle to the arteries.
