Importance of high triglycerides as a cardiovascular risk factor in Indian diabetic population – A review
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Public Health - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a complex metabolic disorder characterized by a state of chronic hyperglycaemia which may lead to various disabling and life-threatening macrovascular and microvascular complications resulting in reduced quality of life and premature mortality. As per many recent evidences, Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in these individuals and is responsible for 70-75% of deaths in diabetes population. India is carrying almost 65 million diabetic populations with almost 77 million populations with pre-diabetes. Majority of diabetes patients suffers from dyslipidaemia. Dyslipidaemia in diabetes is usually a mixed type of hyperlipidaemia, i.e. elevated small dense LDL, high TG and low HDL-C. This pattern of dyslipidaemia is also termed as an Atherogenic Diabetic Dyslipidaemia (ADD). Current evidences suggest that elevated TG is an important independent risk factor for future CV risk.
