Acute coronary syndrome and chronic heart failure in patients with type 2 diabetes, complicated cardioneuropathy

Type 2 diabetes significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. Long duration of type 2 diabetes leads to the development of cardiac autonomic neuropathy. Observed a significant increase in the detection rate of postinfarction cardiosclerosis, acute Q-wave myocardial infarction, pulmonary edema, acute and chronic left ventricular aneurysm, chronic heart failure II, III and IV functional classes, paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation in patients with type 2 diabetes by compared to patients without diabetes. When the duration of diabetes over 5 years significantly increased the frequency of postinfarction cardiosclerosis, acute Q-wave myocardial infarction, chronic left ventricular aneurysm, chronic heart failure III and IV functional class, paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation compared with patients with a shorter duration of type 2 diabetes.
