Evaluation of cardiovascular risk according to the 2019 ESC/EASD guidelines in type 1 diabetes mellitus patients: A population-based survey study
Authors' conclusion
This was the largest cross-sectional screening study to assess the CVD risk in T1DM patients in mainland China. The CVD risk among Chinese DM patients has reached a critical level which may necessitate the comprehensive strategies for the control and management of CV-related risk factors, such as blood pressure, BMI, and lipids in DM patients, to effectively reduce the incidence of CVD events and death.
