Description

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is highly prevalent and is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients. Patients with diabetes and mixed hyperlipidemia should control glucose, blood pressure and lipid levels; however, less than 20 percent of patients are at goal for all three. With new medications and treatment modalities available, physicians must have an understanding of these latest advancements to effectively manage diabetic patients.

At the conclusion of this session, the participant should be able to:

  • Define CV risk in diabetic patients
  • Discuss treatment options to reduce risk
  • Review newer treatments to reduce risk
