The study was designed to investigate the correlation between perioperative adverse cardiovascular events and the degeneration of sensory nerves in patient diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus, undergoing elective non-cardiac surgery. Diabetes mellitus and peripheral sensory nerve degeneration will be diagnosed via clinical evaluation. Serum levels of constituent neuropeptides, including neuropeptide Y (NPY), calcitonin and substance P (SP) and calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP), and transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1), a molecular nociceptor in peripheral sensory nerves will be quantitatively evaluated. The clinical and the biochemical consequence will be compared between the cohorts of diabetic and non-diabetic patients. The differences and the correlations will be analyzed. The results of the study may reveal whether or not the perioperative adverse cardiovascular events in diabetic patients are correlated with degeneration of peripheral sensory nerves and the alterations in the neuropeptides and TRPV1 are potentially applicable for evaluation of the risk of cardiovascular events in perioperative period in diabetic patients.
