Abstract

Cardiovascular disease is a major complication of diabetes mellitus. Cardiovascular (CV) risk factors should be assessed at least annually in patients with diabetes. These risk factors include dyslipidemia, hypertension, smoking, a positive family history of premature coronary disease, and the presence of micro- or macroalbuminuria. Abnormal risk factors should be treated as guidelines. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recently published management guidelines for CV risk factors that are based on the results of clinical trials examining cardiovascular outcomes. In this section, we summarize the findings of the ADA guidelines, "Prevention and Management of Cardiovascular Disease in Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes-2010," in Korean.
