Abstract
BackgroundUncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is widely recognized as a significant risk factor for the emergence of cardiovascular events. Early risk assessment, especially for coronary artery disease, is crucial to starting therapeutic strategies to lower cardiovascular risk.ObjectiveTo assess cardiovascular risk in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods64 patients were divided into groups according to age, gender, disease duration, glucoregulation, and applied treatment. The SCORE table was used to quantify cardiovascular risk.ResultsOur research showed that cardiovascular risk in patients with diabetes mellitus increases with age (rho = 0.458; p = 0.0001; p <0.05) and is higher in men (rho = -0.417; p <0,0001). It has been found that patients with a longer duration of diabetes mellitus have a higher cardiovascular risk (rho = 0.266; p = 0.032). Patients with better glucoregulation had a slightly lower cardiovascular risk, but correlation was statistically insignificant. No statistically significant correlation was observed between applied therapy and cardiovascular risk.ConclusionGood control and treatment of T2DM is of crucial importance for reducing cardiovascular risk.
