Insulin resistance and cardiovascular diseases: focus on common in pathogenesis and treatment.

Abstract

The prevalence of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes has increased dramatically worldwide over the past 30 years. These diseases have become a worldwide epidemic and the main cause of disability and premature death. The reasons for these negative trends are the wide distribution of improper nutrition, sedentary lifestyle, smoking, lack of sleep, which lead to the development of insulin resistance. Insulin resistance underlies the development of multiple metabolic disorders: hyperinsulinemia, hyperglycemia, proatherogenic dyslipidemia, and inflammation, which lead to cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. With this in mind, scientists and medical professionals should focus on the development and implementation of effective methods for the prevention and treatment of insulin resistance. An important tasks are the implementation of a healthy lifestyle, namely proper nutrition and regular physical activity, the use of pharmacological drugs that improve cardiovascular risk factors. However, there remains a need for further research and improvement of these treatment methods, as well as the development of new methods of prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes.
