"Diabetes: The Magnitude of the problem and it's relationship to the Metabolic Syndrome"Prof. Bernard Zinman (biography)
English - 2003-06-16 - 14 minutes
|
 | (11 slides) |
Summary :
The prevalence of diabetes is expected to increase by 76% by 2025, and this increase seems to be taking place not only in Europe and North America, but in developing countries as well. Driving this epidemic is another one - the obesity epidemic, and we know that larger and larger food portions have been contributing to this. Regarding pathophysiology, we know that beta cell failure leads to type...
Learning objectives :
The participant will be given a recap of the recent foci of research on the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes, as well as an introduction to baseline findings from the ADOPT study addressing the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome in recently diagnosed type 2 diabetics:
- Beta cell failure leads to type 2 diabetes, but treatment of insulin resistance improves many of its associated factors such as hyperinsulinemia, ambulatory BP, dyslipidemia, visceral fat, microalbuminuria and hyperglycemia, with data still to come on whether CVD outcomes can also be changed.
- New research is giving us more and more information on the role of “adipokines” in contributing to insulin resistance.
- The ADOPT Study has so far revealed a > 80% prevalence of metabolic syndrome in recently-diagnosed type 2 diabetics, and points to NCEP criteria as being superior to WHO criteria in identifying affected patients.

"DM and Cardiovascular Disease in Women"Dr. Gillian Booth (biography)
English - 2003-05-23 - 28 minutes
|
 | (35 slides) |
Summary :
We are now all familiar with the increased risk of heart disease in patients with diabetes mellitus (Haffner et al.1998. NEJM 339: 229-34). What about gender differences within this population? The Nurses Health Study showed a marked increase in the risk for diabetic women with a history of CHD to have a fatal CHD event if they had diabetes for over 15 years (Hu et al. 2001. Arch Int Med 161:...
Learning objectives :
The participant will review a substantial body of data derived from the Ontario Diabetes Database (ODD) elucidating the following points:
- DM reduces the gender gap in CVD
- Relatively higher CVD procedure use in men than in women
- Both genders – earlier and greater risk of CVD

"Microalbuminuria and Kidney Disease In Type 2 Diabetes"Dr. Steven Soroka (biography)
English - 2002-11-23 - 28 minutes
|
 | (46 slides) |
Summary :
Here we will get a nephrology perspective on type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease are both common, but microalbuminuria (MAU) is more closely correlated with CVD than is kidney disease. Two important questions we have been asking ourselves are: What are the modifiable risk factors for kidney disease? And, What is the most cost effective way of treating kidney disease and...
Learning objectives :
The participant will get a nephrology perspective on the delay of onset and treatment of diabetic nephropathy:
- Diabetes and chronic kidney disease are common
- Early, aggressive treatment is needed
- Blood pressure control is essential and cost effective
- RAAS blockade confers additional cardio renal protection

"Genetics, Environment and a Global Epidemic"Dr. Salim Yusuf (biography)

Summary :
It is not commonly recognized that the majority of cardiovascular disease now occurs in developing countries. While cardiovascular disease rates had increased in western countries between 1950 and 1980, they have come down markedly (by as much as 50%) in many countries, including Canada and the US. By contrast the age-adjusted rates of cardiovascular disease is increasing in most of the...
Learning objectives :
The presentation will outline the rising burden of obesity and diabetes globally and discuss the proposed hypotheses for the dramatic rise in metabolic syndrome.

Global burden of cardiovascular diseases: part I: general considerations, the epidemiologic transition, risk factors, and impact of urbanization.

This two-part article provides an overview of the global burden of atherothrombotic cardiovascular disease. Part I initially discusses the epidemiologic transition which has resulted in a decrease in deaths in childhood due to infections, with a concomitant increase in cardiovascular and other chronic diseases; and then provides estimates of the burden of cardiovascular (CV) diseases with specific focus on the developing countries. Next, we summarize key information on risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and indicate that their importance may have been underestimated. Then, we describe overarching factors influencing variations in CVD by ethnicity and region and the influence of urbanization. Part II of this article describes the burden of CV disease by specific region or ethnic group, the risk factors of importance, and possible strategies for prevention.
