Heart disease and diabetes - Miles Fisher

Cardiovascular disease is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in people with diabetes, and it is an issue that is becoming increasingly important to both cardiologists and specialists in diabetes. The routine management of patients with diabetes now includes close attention to the methods to control hyperglycaemia that give maximum reduction in cardiovascular events. This pocketbook details the complications that diabetes presents in relation to heart disease, introduces the reader to various risk factors and discusses the possible treatments that can be explored. This second edition has also been updated throughout to include new trial data, new drugs and updates on treatment of diabetes in heart failure patients.
The information in this book is presented in an easy to use format, and supplemented with key figures, tables and summarized research findings.
