Zusammenfassung

Der Diabetes mellitus gehört zu den weitverbreitetsten Stoffwechselerkrankungen in den westlichen Industrienationen. Die Prävalenz steigt weiter aufgrund einer stetig älter werdenden Bevölkerungsstruktur, die auch durch eine Zunahme der Adipositasrate und durch einen bewegungsarmen Lebensstil charakterisiert ist. Dabei stellen die kardiovaskulären Erkrankungen die prognostisch wesentlichen Komplikationen des Diabetikers dar. Von kardiologischer Seite kann sich eine diabetische Kardiopathie auf unterschiedlichen funktionellen und strukturellen Ebenen des Herzens manifestieren. Dabei sind Störungen der Mikro- und Makrozirkulation (Angiopathie), der Ventrikelfunktion (Kardiomyopathie) und des intrakardialen Nervensystems (autonome Neuropathie) zu unterscheiden.

In der folgenden Übersichtsarbeit fassen wir vor allem das kardiovaskuläre Risiko mit besonderem Augenmerk auf die Pathogenese, Diagnostik und Therapie der diabetes-mellitus-bedingten koronaren Herzerkrankung und der diabetischen Kardiomyopathie zusammen.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is one of the most widespread metabolic diseases in Western industrial countries with increasing prevalence due to a progressively aging population that is also characterized by increasing obesity and a sedentary life style. Cardiovascular conditions are the major prognostic complications of diabetes. Cardiologically, diabetic cardiopathy may become manifest on different structural and functional levels of the heart. Disorders may involve the micro- and macrocirculation (angiopathy), ventricular function (cardiomyopathy) and the intracardial nervous system (autonomous neuropathy).

The following survey summarizes the cardiovascular risk with particular attention to the pathogenesis, diagnostics and therapy of diabetes mellitus related coronary disease and diabetic cardiomyopathy.
