Abstract
One of the most prevalent chronic illnesses in the world is diabetes mellitus. It is occurring concurrently with the aging of the population and the rising prevalence of overweight and obesity worldwide. Diabetes and cardiovascular illnesses are strongly correlated. Individuals with diabetes, particularly those with type 2 diabetes mellitus, are at a higher risk of developing cardiovascular illnesses, which are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Compared to the healthy population, persons with diabetes have a 2-4 times higher cardiovascular risk. Cardiovascular illness explains a significant portion of the higher mortality, and diabetes has been linked to a 75% increase in death. Numerous issues, including hyperglycemia, diabetic dyslipidemia, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, and heart failure, can occur and lead to a reduced quality of life. This review covers current therapy, care, and therapeutic processes in addition to describing the diagnosis. To lessen the long-term cardiovascular problems of diabetes, it is crucial to focus on cardiovascular factors in those who have the disease. To improve medical treatment, it is necessary to understand how a disease condition affects cardiovascular function. People with diabetes are more susceptible to cardiovascular diseases.
