In recent years, there have been serious changes in the close relationship between diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases. From the early stages of insulin resistance and prediabetes to serious cardiac complications caused by diabetes. Coronary heart disease is the main
cause of morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients, but not all diabetic patients have an equally high risk of heart attacks. More than a third of asymptomatic patients have no signs of coronary atherosclerosis and have a very low annual heart attack rate. Early detection of patients
with subclinical coronary artery atherosclerosis and/or significant obstructive coronary artery disease with asymptomatic myocardial infarction may help in making a therapeutic decision to prevent future devastating acute cardiovascular conditions. This article is devoted to the peculiarities of the course of cardiovascular diseases in concomitant diabetes mellitus, its role in increasing the frequency and severity of complications after acute cardiovascular episodes, as well as modern views on the therapy of this combined condition.
