A STUDY ON CLINICAL IMPORTANCE OF HYPERTENSION, DIABETES, AND INFLAMMATION AS INDICATORS OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE.

Abstract

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) continues to be the foremost cause of morbidity 
and mortality, despite the existence of effective primary and secondary treatment options. 
Traditional cardiovascular risk factors are often inadequate, predicting less than half of future 
cardiovascular incidents. Diabetes typically leads to premature mortality due to CVD, while 
hypertension further exacerbates this risk. Individuals suffering from both hypertension and 
diabetes, particularly when accompanied by dyslipidemia, are particularly vulnerable to 
cardiovascular-related fatalities. Recent research has increasingly highlighted the significance 
of inflammation in the development of atherosclerosis, prompting investigations into whether 
circulating inflammatory biomarkers can aid in identifying individuals at heightened risk for 
future cardiovascular events.
