Abstract
Type 1 diabetes mellitus, an autoimmune disorder characterized by beta-cell destruction and absolute insulin deficiency, is associated with significantly increased cardiovascular disease risk but the mechanisms underlying this enhanced risk are unclear. Results of the pivotal Diabetes Control and Complications Trial/Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications study have shown that compared to conventional therapy, intensive glycemic control results in decreased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Evidence from this study also revealed contributions of blood pressure, renal disease, body weight, and lipids to cardiovascular disease in type 1 diabetes mellitus. Extrapolating from existing evidence, this article addresses clinical strategies to mitigate cardiovascular risks.
