Abstract
- It is well established that aggressive risk factor modification results in improved cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes. Yet, patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus have a much higher baseline risk for cardiovascular events. As type 2 diabetes and hypertension commonly coexist, achieving recommended targets for diabetes, hypertension, and CVD requires aggressive management. Global risk reduction with aggressive low-density lipoprotein reduction and through the additional normalization of glucose levels and blood pressure can help to reduce absolute risk in this very high-risk population.
