Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) represents one of the typical complications associated with
diabetes. It has been described as anomalies in heart function and structure, with consequent high
morbidity and mortality. DCM development can be described by two stages; the first is characterized
by left ventricular hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction, and the second by heart failure (HF) with
systolic dysfunction. The proposed mechanisms involve cardiac inflammation, advanced glycation
end products (AGEs) and angiotensin II. Furthermore, different studies have focused their attention
on cardiomyocyte death through the different mechanisms of programmed cell death, such as
apoptosis, autophagy, necrosis, pyroptosis and ferroptosis. Exosome release, adipose epicardial
tissue and aquaporins affect DCM development. This review will focus on the description of the
mechanisms involved in DCM progression and development.
