This book examines developing topics from a largely cardiological perspective, covering both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe DIGAMI study on the use of intravenous insulin infusion at the time of myocardial infarction (MI) has stimulated a large number of discussion papers on the best treatment of MI in the diabetic patient. The UKPDS has shown that treatment of Type 2 diabetes does not reduce cardiovascular end-points significantly, but that aggressive treatment of blood pressure can do so. In addition, sub-group analysis from several large cardiovascular trials has shown that treatment with statins, anti-platelet therapy, ACE inhibitors and other drugs will also reduce cardiovascular events in people with diabetes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wiley-Interscience\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2008-02-04\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780470862049\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 308\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Interscience","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44378545160332,"sku":"9780470862049","price":137.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780470862049_90471686-508d-496e-9006-a4a98104052d.jpg?v=1768917359","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780470862049","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
