Is it true that insulin resistance is strongly connected to cardiovascular disease?
Yes. Current clinical and experimental evidence strongly supports a robust connection between insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease, mediated heavily by metabolic syndrome, endothelial dysfunction, and vascular remodeling.
Verdict: SUPPORTED · 8 sources for, 0 against · Last checked
The analysis
The retrieved literature consistently links insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, and metabolic syndrome to pathological changes in the cardiovascular system, such as endothelial dysfunction, arterial stiffness, vascular remodeling, and atherosclerosis. All relevant papers support the claim, and no papers refute it.
Evidence for · 8
The study highlights that insulin resistance is a core component of metabolic syndrome, which directly drives endothelial dysfunction and cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis and hypertension.

Pathophysiology of Prediabetes Hyperinsulinemia and Insulin Resistance in the Cardiovascular System.
The paper discusses how chronic hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance promote cardiovascular remodeling and lead to vascular diseases such as hypertension.
