Some subclinical conditions that show milder and more attenuated symptoms can become potentially harmful to various diseases. This is the case of those who, for example, have certain levels of glycemia in the blood that cannot justify a diagnosis of diabetes but which in any case should be monitored. In such circumstances, in fact, science says that the indicator of cardiovascular disease could be this high value in the blood that many underestimate. Below we illustrate what it is and what are the indicators to be taken as a reference.
How important is constant monitoring?
Those who wish to periodically monitor their health often resort to routine tests such as blood chemistry. For this reason, in a previous article we explained what are the 3 blood values that could be the indicator of a tumor in the body. The same rule also applies to diseases of the cardiovascular system that affect millions of people every year. In such circumstances, those with particular disabling health conditions can request financial aid as can be read in the in-depth analysis: “The 5 chronic heart diseases that ensure the INPS disability pension”. According to recent scientific research presented at the American College of Cardiology, a prediabetes condition could also prove dangerous to heart health.
The indicator of cardiovascular disease could be this high blood value that many underestimate
When we talk about prediabetes we mean a blood glucose level that is between 100 and 125 mg / dl. This threshold, which is not yet diagnosable as type 2 diabetes, is often underestimated according to researchers from Beaumont Hospital-Royal Oak (USA). The risk of stroke, ischemia or other heart problems could increase drastically even in these people who are in this premorbid condition. Scientists collected data on a sample of around 12,000 prediabetic patients.
In almost 20% of the subjects, doctors found cardiovascular problems. A higher share than those with low and normal blood sugar levels. The hypothesis is that the high levels of glucose in the blood also damage and inflame the blood vessels and therefore the heart. These results highlight how important it is to work synergistically on risk prevention even in those preclinical conditions. In these cases, the clinical tests to detect prediabetes are generally those that assess blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin and oral glucose load.
