CME Information: Diabetes from the Perspective of the Cardiologist: An Evolving Paradigm
Diabetes from the Perspective of the Cardiologist: An Evolving Paradigm
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Discuss the connections between the etiology and the pathophysiology of various components of the cardiometabolic syndrome and the development of cardiovascular disease in people with type 2 diabetes
- Describe the rationale for evaluating the cardiovascular impact of antidiabetes medications, and key data from recent cardiovascular outcomes trials of antidiabetes medications
- Discuss how antidiabetes medications with demonstrated cardiovascular benefits can be integrated into guideline-driven glycemic control programs for people with type 2 diabetes
- Identify methods whereby cardiologists can spearhead coordination of care among various providers for a person with both cardiac disease and type 2 diabetes to optimize outcomes for both conditions
