The prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) is well known. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), almost 18 million people die from CVDs worldwide every year, accounting for 31% of all causes of death [1]. CVDs often develop concomitantly with diabetes mellitus (DM), with approximately 20% of cardiovascular deaths attributed to elevated blood glucose levels [2].
