Why Do Diabetics Have Silent Heart Attack?
STAYFIT|October 2018

Diabetes mellitus is a group of diseases characterized by high blood glucose levels that result from defects in the body's ability to produce and/or use insulin. The higher a person's blood sugar level is, the higher his or her risk of heart disease. Compared with people who don't have diabetes, people who have diabetes are at higher risk for heart disease.

Why Do Diabetics Have Silent Heart Attack?

Diabetes alone is a very serious risk factor for heart disease. other factors that can raise the risk of heart disease in people who have diabetes are high cholesterol levels, high blood pressure, smoking, overweight, obesity, Lack of physical activity, unhealthy dietary pattern, Family history of early heart disease, stress etc . Individuals with insulin resistance or in combination with one or more of these risk factors are at even greater risk of heart disease or stroke.

People often assume they'll know when a heart attack hits, expecting crippling chest pain or pain that travels down the left arm. But not every heart attack is accompanied by these "classic" symptoms. Approximately 15-20% are considered "silent" heart attacks. A silent heart attack is a heart attack that occurs without clear symptoms, or sometimes without any symptoms at all. This causes the heart attack to go unnoticed, often being recognized only days, months or even years following its presentation. Silent heart attacks occur more commonly in men than in women; however, silent heart attacks are more often fatal for women.
