Publisher's Synopsis
Diabetes refers to a type of chronic condition characterized by the insufficient insulin production by the pancreas or inefficient insulin utilization by the body. Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) include a variety of conditions that affect blood vessels and heart negatively. The risk of CVD is almost doubled in people with diabetes and increased blood glucose. Diabetes is also linked to high blood pressure and cholesterol levels, which increases the risk of cardiovascular problems like myocardial infarction, peripheral artery disease (PAD), angina, congestive heart failure, coronary artery diseases (CADs) and stroke. Diabetes patients can decrease their risk of CVD by lowering their glucose levels and blood pressure. The risk of developing CVD and the complications that accompany it can be minimized by adequate diet, exercise and diabetes treatment. This book provides comprehensive insights on diabetes and cardiovascular disease. It aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of these medical conditions. This book will help new researchers by foregrounding their knowledge in this area of study.
