Prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease at the Universitas Kristen Indonesia General Hospital

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the most significant global health emergencies of the 21st century, characterized by high glycemic levels. Type 2 DM (T2DM) is the predominant form, accountings for approximately 90-95% of all diagnosed DM cases, and is associated with an increased cardiovascular risk. In this study, 138 patients with T2DM were examined, revealing that left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) was prevalent. Coronary artery disease (CAD) was most common among patients aged 56-65 years, while LVH predominantly occurred in those over 65. The risk factors were identified as genetic and metabolic. Comprehensive and holistic management is essential for improving mortality rates.
