Educational information
This educational video is part of a series called '5 Things a cardiologist needs to know about diabetes' that are aimed to guide cardiologists in management of patients with type 2 diabetes, since the cardiology practice is increasingly confronted with these patients. This series covers five topics that help cardiologists understand what is important when treating patients with diabetes, and what risks these patients face.
This recording was developed under auspices of PACE-cme. Views expressed in the recording are those of the presenter and do not necessarily reflect the views of PACE-cme.
