The leading cause of death for diabetics





  
About 422 Million adults were suffered from diabetes in 2014 worldwide, as reported by WHO in 2016.
One of the leading cause of death in these patients is heart disease.
According to the report, about 2.2 million deaths are from cardiovascular diseases, chronic kidney disease, and others related to higher-than-optimal blood glucose.
Also, adults with diabetes have a two or three times higher rate of cardiovascular disease (CVD) than adults without diabetes.

The study conducted in Japan revealed that the heart disease is the No.1 Killer of diabetes.
This study follows 1939 diabetic patients in Osaka about 10 years, and the mortality rates per 1000 person-years were 31.35 for males and 21.99 for females.
Among them, heart disease killed 19.5%, cerebrovascular disease 16.7% and renal disease 13.1%.
Thus this study showed heart disease is the No.1 killer of diabetes.

It is told that many of diabetic patients are suffered from diabetic peripheral neuropathy. In heart it is recognized as the diseases such as microvascular disease which are difficult to find by imaging technology for examining large vessels.

MCG detects the abnormality of the electricity generated by heart cell. That means, if the small vessels of heart are damaged by diabetes and the electric activity of heart are declined by it, MCG detects such abnormality without invasion for diabetic patients.

Cardiovascular Health Level in Older Age may associate with Cognitive Decline

In French population-based cohort study involving 6,626 individuals, an increased number of optimal cardiovascular health metrics were significantly associated with lower risk of incident dementia.  The metrics are defined by AHA, the American Heart Association, as a 7-item tools such as; 1)nonsmoking, 2)body mass index <25, 3)regular physical activity, 4)eating fish twice a week or more and fruits and vegetables at least 3 times a day, 5)cholesterol <200 mg/dL[untreated], 6)fasting glucose <100 mg/dL[untreated],and 7)blood pressure <120/80 mm Hg[untreated] These findings may support the promotion of cardiovascular health to prevent development of risk factors associated with dementia. MCG is the non-invasive test device to detect the cardiovascular disease related to the above metrics. Check MCG and improve your life style not only for your cardiovascular health but also for dementia. For more details of the study, please see th...

MCG Clinical Case is reported in Malaysia

The MCG case report is published in the issue of February of “MIMIS DOCTOR”, the famous trusted information source of health care in Malaysia. The author, Dr.Ebrahim reported  a case that MCG score is low even the stenosis is  recognized by CTA. However in this patient, he also recognized collateral circulation supplying enough blood to the heart cell instead of the main vessel, which may affect the MCG score is low. He concluded “Coronary artery computed tomography angiogram is currently used to assess coronary artery disease. Multifunction cardiogram is a new diagnostic tool in cardiac care to detect microvascular and cellular function of the heart muscles.” For details, please see the attached journal.

More time spending in sitting is related to the cause of cardiovascular disease

A cohort study is published in the U.S. mentioning that prolonged leisure-time sitting (6+ vs <3 hours/day) is associated with higher risk of not only cardiovascular disease (including coronary heart disease and stroke-specific mortality),  but also cancer, diabetes, kidney disease and other diseases. This cohort study includes 127,554 men and women who were free of major chronic disease at study entry and among whom 48,784 died during 21 years follow-up, and supports that encouraging individuals to reduce sedentary time may provide health benefits. Premier Heart's  MCG is an easy test to check the condition of your heart. Because MCG is non-invasive test, it is beneficial for the people who have no symptom but spend longer time in sitting in their lifestyle. For the details of the study, please refer to the article from here .
