Cardiovascular risk in type 1 diabetes mellitus

Ines Ben Hadj Slama Slim. Indian J Endocrinol Metab. 2013 Oct.

Abstract

Commonly cardiovascular risk (CVR) is linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus as this type is known to be part of the metabolic syndrome, which includes other cardiovascular factors such as hypertension, dyslipidemia. Inversely, CVR of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is currently being debated apart from the occurrence of diabetic nephropathy (DN). For this, we did a review of CVR in patients with T1DM complicated or not with DN. The place of novel non-invasive techniques in screening of subclinical vascular damage is also discussed in this review.

Keywords: Cardiovascular risk; diabetic nephropathy; subclinical atherosclerosis; type 1 diabetes mellitus.
