Text Extraction
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading
cause of morbidity and mortality
worldwide, making the early identification
of associated risk factors crucial.1 Insulin
resistance is recognized as a pathophysiological
precursor to the development of Type 2
Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), hypertension, and its
complications: ischemic heart disease, stroke,
and kidney failure.
