Overview
Michael T. Johnstone, MD, and Aristidis Veves, MD, DSc, have comprehensively updated their classic reference that reviews both the clinical and scientific aspects of diabetic cardiovascular disease. The contributors thoroughly discuss the mechanisms and risk factors of diabetes in relation to hypertension, dyslipidemia, thrombosis, atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, and congestive heart failure. Their review includes a full examination of the epidemiology, mechanisms, methods of assessment, and treatment of the disease at the macrovascular level, and a discussion of the microvascular effects, including retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy, and compromised microcirculation in the diabetic foot.
