PREVENTING ADVERSE OUTCOMES OF ISCHEMIC STROKE IN PATIENTS WITH TYPE II DIABETES MELLITUS: A COMPARATIVE STUDY
Keywords:
Ischemic stroke, Type II diabetes mellitus, glycemic controlAbstract
Ischemic stroke in the setting of Type II Diabetes Mellitus presents several unique challenges, reflected in increased complication rates and poorer long-term outcomes. This review will attempt to point out possible strategies for avoiding adverse outcomes in patients with ischemic stroke and concomitant DM-2. 256 patients with IS were investigated: MG consisted of 124 patients who presented with IS and DM-2, and CG included 132 patients with IS who did not have DM-2. According to the results obtained, it can be concluded that proper blood glucose control, early thrombolysis, and rehabilitation measures adapted to the individual features of a patient may weaken the noxious effects of ischemic stroke in patients with DM-2. Besides, addressing underlying cardiovascular risk factors and optimizing pharmacological therapy are both vital in the improvement of clinical outcomes in this high-risk population.
