Abstract

The number of diabetic people will be doubled worldwide in the following 10 years, due to an increase in the number of type 2 diabetic patients. Because type 2 diabetes increases the risk for cardiovascular disease by two- to fourfold, cardiovascular complications will become a major health problem. This review will focus on definition, classification and diagnostic criteria for diabetes, risk factors for type 2 diabetes, macrovascular complications of diabetes, and prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease in type 2 diabetic patients.
