Common forms of diabetes related heart risks:
The commonest form of heart disease is coronary artery disease (CAD), which presents as heart attacks. Diabetes damages the blood vessels of the heart.2 Almost 75% of patients with diabetes die due to cardiac disease. Every 1% increase in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) above 6.5, increases the risk of CAD by 11%.2
In people with diabetes, death due to heart disease increases by 40% for every 5-unit increase in BMI above 25.2 Diabetes increases a person's risk of developing heart failure, a serious condition in which the heart is unable to pump enough blood1. Hospitalisation for heart failure is twice as common in people who are diabetic than it is in non-diabetics.2
Atrial fibrillation is the third form of diabetes-related heart disease, characterised by irregular heartbeats. Patients with diabetes account for about 30% of the cases3 of atrial fibrillation.
