At the Heart of Diabetes

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in people living with type 2 diabetes.

Since concerns were highlighted with rosiglitazone, it was made mandatory for all new diabetes drugs to prove their cardiovascular safety. Somewhat unexpectedly, not only was cardiovascular safety established with certain newer diabetes drugs but also cardiovascular superiority compared to placebo i.e. significant reductions in major adverse cardiovascular events.

This webinar will summarise key take-home messages from all the published diabetes cardiovascular outcome studies to date, how these studies have changed guidelines and what the implications are for primary care.
