title: Cardiovascular disorders in patients with diabetes mellitus.
abstract: Diabetes mellitus is a disease with multiorgan involvement. Besides retinopathy, nephropathy and peripheral neuropathy induced by microangiopathy, both cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications are significant. Both cardiomyopathy and coronary artery disease are observed in patients with diabetes, and the latter is clinically more important because of its high incidence and seriousness.
