How diabetes causes heart attacks

A recent study by the Washington University in St. Louis, may explain why die more than 75% of diabetics from heart diseases (Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 7 February 2006). Use the heart of diabetes higher fat into energy from non-diabetics, significantly increases the risk of heart attacks.

Source of energy for myocardial mainly sugar and fat, and lower in the wobdrgh of protein. The muscles need more oxygen for the treatment of fat in the process of sugar. Myocardial blood supply comes from the large arteries of the external surface of the heart. Diabetics and losses the arteries, because high levels of sugar in the blood causes the plates form and reduces coronary arteries. The growing need of the flow of blood fat combustion and low blood flow from a narrow arteries of diabetics are very high for heart attacks and heart failure and sudden death. The increased use of oxygen increases blood levels of internal linings almo ' ksdat injury arteries.



Another study shows from Sweden to discover many people only after they had been diabetes have heart failure. Researchers recorded levels of blood sugar in men who have had heart attacks and diabetes and then tests tolerance in execution, as well as three months later. They found that 35% sugar tolerance tests at hospital discharge, diabetes, and 40% and the tolerance, the tests have hampered after three months of sugar (Lancet, vol. 359, 2002).

And then, 40 percent of people who have diabetes, heart attacks, although they may know. Many diabetics normal HBA1C blood tests, the standard test for measurement of diabetic control. In addition, patients who have diabetes is unknown from sudden heart attacks much more than those who are not diabetic. The authors recommend that all people with heart disease diabetes.
