title: Cardiac disease in diabetes.
abstract: The current approach to cardiac disease recognizes that the cardiovascular problems of diabetic patients have both a coronary artery atherosclerotic component and an independent myocardial component. The presence of the myocardial component has become more apparent in recent years, and a full understanding of the balance between the two components is necessary for proper treatment of the cardiac problems of patients with diabetes.
