The editors of this volume intended to provide a resource for both the generalist physician as well as the specialist caring for patients with Diabetes or patients whom might be highly prone to the disease. They have assimilated decades worth of research into this volume which highlights the link between diabetes and the subsequent development of heart disease. More than simply reporting this link in an epidemiological treatise and leaving the clinician wondering what they might do in their daily practice to help ameliorate this phenomenon, "Medical Management of Diabetes and Heart Disease" goes beyond and offers highly relevant clinical information that can be used in identifying patients at risk.
The text does an exceptional job at discussing "Syndrome X" which, as a manifestation of insulin resistance and obesity, is highly relevant amidst the obesity epidemic in many developed countries of the world. The mechanisms by which "Syndrome X" might aid in the development of cardiovascular disease are still early in their discovery but these are also discussed within the text along with other novel markers of disease and possible targets of treatment.
In addition to being a valuable source of information to the aforementioned groups of physicians in the clinic, this book also would be an excellent text for those interested in preventative medicine and the epidemiology of heart disease. The book is highly focused on identification and intervention with patients that are at high risk of developing heart disease as a result of diabetes and in the secondary treatment of diabetics with heart disease.
