Abstract

Background: Atherosclerotic heart disease in diabetic patients is the most common and leading cause of death from cardiovascular causes. Good treatment and prevention have been shown to significantly reduce morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study is to estimate the risk of coronary artery disease over the next 10 years on a Framingham scale and identify relevant factors based on the risk factors, thereby guiding treatment plans as well as active prophylaxis for patients. Objective: 1. Survey on some of Framingham scale cardiovascular risk factors in patients with type 2 diabetes at Kontum General hospital; 2. Prediction of the risk of coronary artery disease in the next 10 years by Framingham scores in these patients. Method: The study cross-sectional described 302 patients with type 2 diabetes to visit at Kon Tum General Hospital, including 136 male patients and 166 female patients, from 40 to 75 years old. Framingham scale cardiovascular risk factors include age, sex, total cholesterol, HDL-C, smoking, and systolic blood pressure to assess risk of coronary artery disease over the next 10 years. Results: Mean age: 57.62 ± 8.15. 40.7% of patients > 60 years. The proportion of risk factors include: 64.9% hypertension, 47.46% increase in CT, 29.2% decrease HDL-C, 21.2% smoke cigarettes and 54% of patients are overweight and obese. The total Framingham score for the whole group is 14.19 ± 4.04 points. The risk of getting CAD over the next 10 years as a whole group was 9.77 ± 8.62%. Low-risk stratification: 57.6%; Medium: 24.2% and High Risk: 18.2%. Conclusion: Applying a simple Framingham scale and helping to stratify the risk of coronary artery disease for at-risk subjects such as type 2 diabetes.
