Diabetes Mellitus is commonly known as Diabetes, it is a type of metabolic disorder in which there is too much sugar in the blood over a period of time. However there are so many reasons to a person become diabetic patient. People has to face many long term complications due to diabetes, these typical complication develop after many years, it varies from person to person. The major complications with diabetes are related to Circulatory system (blood vessels). From recent studies we know that 68% of diabetic people age >65 are die due to some form of Ischemic Heart Disease, so Diabetes is closely related with Heart Disease.
A strong interrelation exists in between Ischemic Heart Disease and Diabetes. According to the recent studies in United States, most of the adult persons who have heart diseases are more likely to be Diabetic. As per the World Health organization studies, in 2014, 8.5% of adults aged 18 years and older had diabetes. In 2012 diabetes was the main cause of 1.5 million deaths and high blood glucose was the cause of another 2.2 million deaths.
We can try to improve life expectancy period of the diabetic patients by Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG). Coronary artery bypass grafting is a surgery that improves blood flow to the heart. CABG is used to treat Coronary Heart Diseases. Coronary Heart Disease is a disease in which a waxy substance called plaque (plak) builds up inside the coronary arteries. This plaque accumulation is step up by High Cholesterol, Smoking and diabetes. CABG surgery creates a bypass around the blocked and narrowed blood vessels, allowing sufficient nutrients and oxygen rich blood to heart muscles.
There is much research is going on bypass surgery and grafting, few recent surgical records states that those diabetic patients who underwent Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery had better short- and long-term survival than those who had the other types of surgery.
