  2. Diabetic cardiomyopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_cardiomyopathy

    Diabetic cardiomyopathy is a disorder of the heart muscle in people with diabetes.It can lead to inability of the heart to circulate blood through the body effectively, a state known as heart failure(HF), [2] with accumulation of fluid in the lungs (pulmonary edema) or legs (peripheral edema).

  3. Pulmonary edema - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_edema

    Pulmonary edema (British English: oedema), also known as pulmonary congestion, is excessive fluid accumulation in the tissue or air spaces (usually alveoli) of the lungs. [1] This leads to impaired gas exchange , most often leading to shortness of breath ( dyspnea ) which can progress to hypoxemia and respiratory failure .

  4. Acute decompensated heart failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_decompensated_heart...

    Flash Pulmonary Edema or Crash Pulmonary Edema is a clinical characterization of acute heart failure with a dramatic presentation. [4] It is an acute cardiac disease precipitated by cardiac events and usually associated with severe hypertension.

  5. Complications of diabetes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complications_of_diabetes

    [3] [4] [5] Some non-modifiable risk factors such as age at diabetes onset, type of diabetes, gender, and genetics may influence risk. Other health problems compound the chronic complications of diabetes such as smoking , obesity , high blood pressure , elevated cholesterol levels, and lack of regular exercise .

  6. Capillary leak syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capillary_leak_syndrome

    Intravascular fluid overload leads to polyuria and can cause flash pulmonary edema and cardiac arrest, with possibly fatal consequences. [3] [4] Death from SCLS typically occurs during this recruitment phase because of pulmonary edema arising from excessive intravenous fluid administration during the earlier leak phase.

    In short, yes, air pollution can increase risks of developing or irritating symptoms of type 2 diabetes, according to multiple studies. A study by the Washington University School of Medicine and ...

  8. Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_failure_with...

    Risk factors for HFpEF include hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, smoking, and obstructive sleep apnea. HFpEF is characterized by abnormal diastolic function: there is an increase in the stiffness of the left ventricle , which causes a decrease in left ventricular relaxation during diastole, with resultant increased pressure and/or ...

  9. Acute respiratory distress syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_respiratory_distress...

    Alcohol excess appears to increase the risk of ARDS. [47] Diabetes was originally thought to decrease the risk of ARDS, but this has shown to be due to an increase in the risk of pulmonary edema. [48] [49] Elevated abdominal pressure of any cause is also probably a risk factor for the development of ARDS, particularly during mechanical ventilation.
