Abstract
Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) caused 1.3 million deaths in 2010, and cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality of diabetic patients. Cardiovascular disease in DM involves complex pathophysiology processes, which are promoted by many risk factors.
Objective: Genetic, epigenetic, lifestyle and environmental factors are responsible for the current epidemic of diabetes and the subsequent increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Over the past years, targets focusing on the increased risk of cardiovascular events in diabetic patients have attracted significant interest.
Conclusion: Within this review, the roles of insulin resistance, endothelial dysfunction and lifestyle changes in the development of cardiovascular disease in diabetic patients are discussed. Potential strategies and challenges in targeting cardiovascular risks in diabetic individuals are also considered.
Keywords: Diabetes mellitus (DM), cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance, endothelium, cardiovascular risk, hyperglycaemia.

New drug therapy for eye diseases
Eyesight is one of the most critical senses, accounting for over 80% of our perceptions. Our quality of life might be significantly affected by eye disease, including glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, dry eye, etc. Although the development of microinvasive ocular surgery reduces surgical complications and improves overall outcomes, medication therapy is ...read more
