Title: Microvascular Dysfunction in Diabetic Patients Leading to Cardiovascular Complications and Risk Factors

🔍 Overview of the Research Question

This paper explores how diabetes-induced microvascular dysfunction contributes to the development of cardiovascular complications. The writer should discuss the biological mechanisms behind microvascular damage (e.g., endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, impaired vasodilation) and how these changes increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other related conditions. Key risk factors such as hyperglycemia, hypertension, and oxidative stress should also be covered.
