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.

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 .
