title: Office management of cardiac disease in the diabetic.
abstract: Atherosclerotic vascular disease is very common in diabetic patients. It often occurs at an earlier age and is more severe than in nondiabetic individuals. The medical management of cardiac disease in diabetics is much the same as in nondiabetics. Risk factors such as obesity, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia must be vigorously treated, and smoking should be restricted.
