[The heart of a patient with type 1 diabetes].
The heart of a patient with type 1 diabetes might be affected by ischemic heart disease, cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy as well as diabetic cardiomyopathy. These diseases might occur in isolation, although, more frequently, their effects are combined. Also, these co-morbidities have common risk factors. The aim of this review paper is to summarise the options currently available for the diagnostics, prevention and treatment of the listed heart diseases and, since the most frequent cause of death in the type 1 diabetes patients are cardiovascular diseases, to emphasise the fact that these patients should have cardiology assessment. To ensure clarity of the paper, each disease is discussed in a separate chapter.
