Pattern and outcome of the first manifestation of cardiovascular disease among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Cameroon: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the most common cause of morbidity and mortality among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). There is a paucity of data on the pattern of first manifestation of CVD and the outcome among patients with T2DM in Cameroon.

Objectives

We aimed to examine the pattern of the first manifestation of CVD and the outcome among patients with T2DM.

Methods

Between January 2017 and December 2023, files of patients with T2DM hospitalized for the first observed CVD were reviewed. We identified cases of three incident overt clinically manifest CVD complications (acute myocardial infarction [AMI], stroke, and heart failure) in hospitalized T2DM patients. Patients with a previous history of CVD were excluded.
