Key result
Diabetes is linked to a ~3-fold higher risk of CHD mortality vs non-diabetics.
Why the study?
The relationship between diabetes types, duration, and clinically manifest coronary heart disease, as well as associated risk factors and outcomes, requires comprehensive characterization.
What is the relationship between diabetes and the incidence and mortality of coronary heart disease?
What is the relationship between diabetes and the incidence and mortality of coronary heart disease?
Effect estimate: 3 to 4 times higher
Diabetes significantly increases the risk of coronary heart disease, congestive heart failure, and CHD mortality, eliminating the typical female protective effect against CHD seen in premenopausal women.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May warrant heightened CHD vigilance in premenopausal diabetic women; leaves open whether contemporary therapies modify these historical patterns.
Kalevi Pyörälà (1985) conducted a review in Diabetes and Coronary Heart Disease. Diabetes vs. Non-diabetics was evaluated on Coronary heart disease mortality (3 to 4 times higher). Diabetes is associated with a 3 to 4 times higher risk of coronary heart disease mortality compared to non-diabetics, alongside increased incidence of congestive heart failure.
