Is hip replacement surgery safe for my heart if I have diabetes?

While people with diabetes have a generally higher risk of cardiac problems than those without this condition, the increase in risk for cardiac complications with major surgery is quite low—and there may be no increase at all with good care. People with diabetes have higher rates of atherosclerosis, of course, and if you've already had a heart attack or kidney problems, those risk factors do increase your risk of heart problems with surgery. But after taking those factors into account, diabetes is not clearly linked to short-term complications with surgery.

Major orthopedic surgery procedures such as hip replacement have a pretty low rate of major cardiac complications when performed by experienced teams at good hospitals. In short, good care can mitigate whatever increased risk of complications that your diabetes may carry. If you are having considerable pain from your hip, such as pain at rest, then I would strongly consider moving ahead with the surgery.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
