Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM), especially type 2, is associated with high morbidity and mortality. The incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD) in the population is 2-4%, in diabetics up to 55%. the risk of developing ichs increases with the presence of other risk factors such as a positive family history, arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity and smoking.
Approximately 50% of patients with type 2 DM have dyslipidemia, 80% of patients are obese, and more than 50% of patients suffer from arterial hypertension. Due to the fact that the course of cardiovascular diseases in patients with DM is associated with a high risk of fatal and non-fatal complications, it is necessary to focus on aggressive non-pharmacological and pharmacological intervention of all risk factors and concomitant diseases.
