We often assume that diabetes and kidney disease affect only these organs, but these diseases can gradually affect our entire body, especially our heart. Let us know how these three diseases are related to each other and how people with diabetes and kidney disease are at higher risk of heart disease.
A recent research has revealed that the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in people suffering from chronic kidney disease (CKD) and type 2 diabetes is estimated to be 8 to 28 years earlier than others. Scientists at Northwestern University in Chicago conducted a simulation to estimate the impact of cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. They found that patients with chronic kidney disease alone had a higher risk of developing Dick’s disease eight years earlier than those without heart disease. In patients with type 2 diabetes, this risk may occur about a decade earlier than in people without the disease.
What do the experts say?
In patients suffering from both chronic kidney disease and diabetes, CVD before the age of 26 years in women and before the age of 28 years in men. The risk is expected to increase. “Our findings help explain the combination of risk factors and predict when a risk factor is higher at which heart disease risk is higher,” said Vaishnavi Krishnan, a researcher at Northwestern University and lead author of the study.
Who is at greater risk, men or women?
The study found that without cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome, the expected age at increased heart disease risk was 68 years for women and 63 years for men. The findings will be presented at the American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions 2024, to be held Nov. 16-18 in Chicago.
