Abstract

Diabetes mellitus especially type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is becoming more common at an alarming rate, resulting in increased disability, morbidity, and premature mortality. Chronic hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, oxidative stress, hypercoagulability, vascular calcification, inflammation, obesity, and genetic polymorphism in T2DM individuals can lead to macrovascular diseases development and progression like cardiovascular diseases (CVD). CVD is the primary cause of death among T2DM patients, and T2DM patients are at twofold more risk of developing CVD. This chapter focuses on the major mechanisms involved in cardiovascular complications among T2DM individuals and also discusses the various pharmacological interventions and agents developed to delay cardiovascular events and thereby the quality and duration of the patients.
