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 is used in "total heart examination" in Japan's No.1 Cardiovascular Specialist Hospital

MCG is used in the total heart examination in Japan's No.1 Cardiovascular Specialist Hospital detecting the functional ischemia. Tokyo Heart Center, located in Tokyo, is very famous Cardiovascular Specialist Hospital in Japan. In "Premium heart check course" of the hospital, MCG is used as a very important examination detecting functional ischemia, while structural ischemia (stenosis) is detected by CTA. The course includes these examinations and other tests such as blood test, blood pressure, ABI/CAVI, Heart echo, and normal ECG. This is very good example to create a "premium" heart check up with MCG, so please contact Premier Heart for consultation, if you want to know about the details of the course. For the page of the hospital, pleaes visit http://www.tokyoheart.or.jp/jushin/doc/ (The homepage of the hospital is only available in Japanese.)
