Impacts of Diabetes Type 1 on the Heart of Children

Abstract

The current study conducted an in-depth analysis of the most recent findings to be published in the peer-reviewed scientific literature on the topic of the effects that having type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) has on the hearts of young people. The authors conducted an in-depth analysis of the most recent articles that were released to the public. The findings of this study indicate that children who have type 1 diabetes are at a greater risk of developing cardiovascular events than children who do not have type 1 diabetes. It has been postulated that diabetic children have insulin resistance as well as an impaired lipid profile. This is a factor that raises the risk of cardiovascular events happening to the patient. Screening for cardiovascular changes is something that needs to be done for children who have type 1 diabetes as a part of the overall management of their diabetes.
