Cardiovascular disease may affect brain with those with diabetes
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., Aug. 4 () -- Cardiovascular disease may affect the brains of diabetes patients long before they realize they have it, U.S. researchers say. Christina Hugenschmidt of the Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, N.C.,[url=http://www.jdebug.net]Jimmy Choo Outlet[/url], analyzed data on 516 people with diabetes. She checked data on hearts and blood vessels for sub-clinical signs of damage, but with no noticeable symptoms. Hugenschmidt also examined results of tests that gauge thinking ability."People with higher levels of sub-clinical cardiovascular disease had lower scores on several different kinds of thinking tests," Hugenschmidt said in a statement. She said the results indicated the effects of diabetes on blood vessels impact the brain's functioning ability."There has been a lot of research looking at the links between type 2 diabetes and increased risk for dementia, but this is the first study to look specifically at sub-clinical cardiovascular disease and the role it plays," Hugenschmidt said. "Our research shows cardiovascular disease risk caused by diabetes even before it's at a clinically treatable level might be bad for your brain."The study was published at the Journal of Diabetes.
