Less than two out of 10 patients with type 2 diabetes associate cardiovascular alterations with their disease and, in the case of myocardium infarction, only 3.2 percent believe that there is any relationship, according to data from a survey conducted the yearpassed through the Boehringer Ingelheim and Lilly alliance in diabetes.
These results have been disseminated by both companies on the occasion of Valentine's Day that is celebrated this Tuesday, February 14, remembering that these results show the need to boost communication campaigns on cardiovascular risks in type 2 diabetes.
In addition, they insist that there is scientific evidence that points out that a person's loving state can influence the health of the heart, both for better and for evil.
Thus, while love reduces the risks of suffering from cardiovascular diseases and contributes to greater life expectancy, sentimental instability produces concern and stress, which can negatively affect the heart.
