Abstract:Diabetic cardiomyopathy is a disease characterized by abnormal changes in myocardial structure and function. Its pathogenesis includes disorder of glycolipid metabolism, oxidative stress, inflammatory reaction, endoplasmic reticulum stress, myocardial microangiopathy and so on. There are many factors affecting the occurrence and development of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Studies have shown that glycemic excursion can cause the same pathophysiological changes, and there have been several studies supporting glycemic excursion abnormalities closely related to poor cardiovascular outcomes. However, the mechanism by which glycemic excursion causes myocardial damage needs to be further clarified. This article will mainly review the possible mechanisms of glycemic excursion for diabetic myocardial injury from the above aspects, so as to provide a theoretical basis for delaying diabetic cardiomyopathy.
