L'Endocrinologo Aims and scope

Sommario

Il diabete mellito aumenta tra 2 e 4 volte il rischio di complicanze cardiovascolari maggiori e richiede, pertanto, strategie precoci e aggressive di prevenzione cardiovascolare primaria che dovrebbero comprendere, oltre all’educazione a uno stile di vita sano, l’uso delle statine e di farmaci ipoglicemizzanti con effetti cardioprotettivi. Nell’ambito della prevenzione cardiovascolare primaria assistiamo da anni al dibattito sull’efficacia e la sicurezza dell’aspirina a basse dosi. Nonostante le evidenze non del tutto incoraggianti questo farmaco viene ampiamente prescritto ai soggetti diabetici, spesso in maniera impropria. Lo scopo di questo articolo è quello di fornire una rassegna critica delle evidenze e delle raccomandazioni sull’uso dell’aspirina in prevenzione cardiovascolare primaria nei diabetici e di proporre un approccio ragionato alla prescrizione di questo farmaco.
