Cardiology

Overweight/obesity and diabetes mellitus have become a global epidemic, significantly increasing the propensity for cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction, heart failure, stroke, and peripheral arterial disease. This companion volume to Braunwald's Heart Disease delves into the intricate relationship between diabetes and cardiovascular health. It covers the epidemiological, pathophysiological, and genetic underpinnings, as well as clinical presentation, consequences, and diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for managing patients with diabetes at high risk for cardiovascular and kidney complications.
