The relative risk is 20-fold higher in 30- to 40-year-old people with type 1 diabetes than in the general population.
LONDON — Patients with either type of diabetes, but especially type 1, have higher incidence rates of sudden cardiac death across age groups, showed data from a nationwide study. The heightened risk underscores the importance of improved risk stratification for these patients.
Of those who experienced SCD, 155 had type 1 diabetes, 1055 had type 2 diabetes, and 5641 did not have diabetes at all. "Cardiac disease was more common in the diabetes patients but so too were other diseases, compared with the general population. So chronic kidney disease, for example, is found in 0.6%, 12.0%, and 5.9% in the general, type 1, and type 2 diabetes populations, respectively," said Tfelt-Hansen. Pulmonary and neurologic diseases were also higher in diabetes populations.
The study found that total life years lost at age 30 years was nearly 14 years for an individual with type 1 diabetes, and of these, 3.8 were due to SCD."For type 2 diabetes, the life years lost are less pronounced at 6.1 total life years lost, with 2.2 years of these lost to SCD," he said."The way we could try to prevent , of course, could be better treatment for patients who have diabetes, but we need to prevent type 2 diabetes in the first place.
