Conclusions Patients with diabetes have excessive risk for CVD: primary cause of morbidity and mortality in this patient population. Comprehensive risk management is effective in reducing cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes. Early intervention may reduce the substantial residual risk we observe even when comprehensive cardiovascular risk intervention is adopted.
