Though traditionally viewed as metabolic disorder, diabetes is now considered a vascular disease as well. Most patients with diabetes develop cardiovascular complications, accounting for the majority of deaths in diabetic patients. This book focuses on therapeutic strategies for treating diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Titles include: role of insulin secretagogues and insulin sensitising agents; lipid management; PCI vs. CABG in diabetic patients; intensive glycemic control in the management of patients with acute myocardial infarction; and the strategy and selection of drug therapy for diabetes and hypertension.
