Supports arrhythmia vigilance in diabetes; leaves open dedicated intervention trials.
The incidence of diabetes mellitus (DM) is increasing rapidly. DM is the leading cause of cardiovascular diseases, which can lead to varied cardiovascular complications by aggravated atherosclerosis in large arteries and coronary atherosclerosis, thereby grows the risk for macro and microangiopathy such as myocardial infarction, stroke, limb loss and retinopathy. Moreover diabetes is one of the strongest and independent risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, which is associated frequently with rhythm disorders such as atrial fibrillation (AF) and ventricular arrhythmias (VA). The present article provides a concise overview of the association between DM and rhythm disorders such as AF and VA with underlying pathophysiological mechanisms.
