Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease: Evaluation, Prevention & Management

Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease: Evaluation, Prevention & Management presents the epidemiologic relation of diabetes and associated risk factors with cardiovascular disease.

This concise guide demonstrates the role of non-invasive imaging strategies for evaluation of cardiovascular disease risk in diabetes, and the role of nutrition and physical activity in preventing diabetes and its cardiovascular complications.

Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease: Evaluation, Prevention & Management also covers the relation of chronic kidney disease to diabetes and cardiovascular consequences, and offers glycaemic control strategies for reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease with diabetes. The wide scope of this book makes it an essential resource for diabetologists, cardiologists and physicians.
