Abstract
This literature review aims to explore the intricate interplay between diabetes, cardiology, and gastroparesis. Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder that significantly affects cardiovascular health, and its association with gastroparesis further complicates patient management. The review critically analyzes recent research articles, clinical studies, and guidelines to elucidate the pathophysiology, epidemiology, diagnostic approaches, and therapeutic interventions for patients with diabetes, cardiology conditions, and concurrent gastroparesis. The findings highlight the impact of gastroparesis on glycemic control, cardiac function, and overall quality of life, emphasizing the need for a multidisciplinary approach to patient care. Additionally, the review explores potential mechanisms linking diabetes, cardiac dysfunction, and gastroparesis, such as autonomic neuropathy, inflammatory pathways, and impaired gut-brain axis communication. Finally, the literature review discusses current treatment strategies, including lifestyle modifications, pharmacological therapies, and novel interventions, while also addressing challenges and gaps in the existing literature. This comprehensive analysis provides clinicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals valuable insights to enhance their understanding of the complex relationship between diabetes, cardiology, and gastroparesis, ultimately promoting optimal patient care and management.
