Myocardial Ischemia and Components of Oxidative Stress in Diabetes – an Accidental Association? Case Report and Literature Review
Year: 2020
Type: article
Abstract: The global epidemic of diabetes can be alarming and extremely severe. Diabetes, especially in type 2 cells, is officially recognized as a major and independent cardiovascular risk factor. We are presenting the case of a 55-year-old female diabetic patient, with postoperative status, admitted to the internal medicine clinic for polymorphic symptomatology and elevated blood pressure values at home. From an evolutionary point of view, the patient presents electrocardiographic and enzymatic dynamics, and the therapeutic approach was non-interventional. This case was particular due to the postoperative status, cardiovascular risk factors and important prognostic implications through pain perception disorders. The assessment of the overall cardiovascular risk is important to determine the optimal time to initiate the therapy, its intensity, and therapeutic targets. The role of the multidisciplinary team is essential in the complex management of the patient. The aim of this paper is to make a brief review of the role that endothelial dysfunction and oxidative stress have in diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
