Description
Summary:•Diabetes and heart disease are highly prevalent worldwide, and understanding the relationship between the 2 conditions is of utmost significance due to their significant impact on global health.•Recent research has established a strong correlation between diabetes and heart disease, demonstrating the adverse effects of diabetes on various aspects of cardiovascular health, including coronary artery disease, heart failure, and stroke.•Mechanisms such as insulin resistance, inflammation, and oxidative stress play a crucial role in linking diabetes and heart disease, highlighting the complex interplay between these conditions.•The diabetes-heart disease connection has important implications for clinical practice, emphasizing the need for early detection, risk assessment, and management of both conditions. Lifestyle modifications and pharmacological interventions are key interventions in reducing the burden of diabetes and heart disease.•Managing diabetes and heart disease simultaneously presents challenges that require interdisciplinary collaboration between endocrinologists, cardiologists, and primary care physicians. Ongoing research in personalized medicine and targeted therapies holds promise for optimizing patient care and improving outcomes in the future. Continued research and awareness are essential to mitigate the impact of the diabetes-heart disease connection on global health. Diabetes and heart disease are 2 prevalent and interconnected conditions with a significant global burden. Understanding the relationship between diabetes and heart disease is crucial for effective management and prevention strategies. This article provides an overview of the 2 conditions, highlighting their types, risk factors, and global prevalence. Recent research findings establish a strong correlation between diabetes and various aspects of cardiovascular health, including coronary artery disease, heart failure, and stroke. Mechanisms such as insulin resistance, inflammation, and oxidative stress contribute to the interplay between diabetes and heart disease. The implications for clinical practice underscore the importance of early detection, risk assessment, and comprehensive management of both conditions. Lifestyle modifications, such as diet, exercise, and weight management, are essential interventions. Pharmacological interventions, including antidiabetic drugs and cardiovascular medications, play a crucial role in treatment. Managing diabetes and heart disease simul
