Cardiomyopathy is very common complication of mismanaged diabetes. But it can be avoided by maintaining few important parameters: (i)- Persistent high glucose levels: It makes the inner lining of blood vessels, stiffer. Which affects the normal physiology of blood vessels and makes them incapable of responding against high blood pressure. (ii)- Cholesterol values: Second very […]

Diabetes causes high glucose levels in blood, that damages heart and blood vessels in different ways: (i)- Persistent high level of glucose in blood causes the production of highly reactive oxygen radicals and oxidative stress, which potentially damage the inner layer of blood vessels, made up of endothelial tissue. (ii)-This endothelium produces nitric oxide, that […]
