[Comprehensive care: CVD and diabetes mellitus].
Diabetes and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) often appear as two sides of a coin. Diabetologists and cardiologists join their forces in a supply grid to improve the quality management in diagnosis and care in accordance with section 140a-d SGB V in the version from January 1, 2004. An algorithm was developed to help discover CVD in patients with diabetes and vice versa the metabolic diseases in patients with CVD, setting the basis for appropriate joint therapy.
