Diabetes mellitus como factor de riesgo para estenosis valvular aórtica

Abstract

It is a fact that Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 (DMT1) and Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 (DMT2) are linked to a wide range of cardiovascular diseases, which can be fatal on several occasions. Patients with diabetes mellitus tend to have a higher risk of diseases of the cardiovascular system, due to the intervention of obstructive tissues that come from glycation by accumulation of glucose in the body, one of the most common examples is aortic valve stenosis. Objective: To present a complete and updated view of the influence of Diabetes Mellitus as a risk factor for valvular stenosis. Methodology: The development of the study starts with a qualitative review of the theoretical foundations and practical background regarding Diabetes Mellitus and Valvular Stenosis. The data and information will be obtained from the search in databases whose documents have scientific rigor, among these are: indexed articles, books, congresses and doctoral theses. Results: The correlation between diabetes mellitus and aortic stenosis disease leads to a large number of studies that propose different ways to eradicate the condition, placing surgical intervention as the most recommended method, however, biotechnological and pharmacological methods are also proposed.
