Abstract
Type 2 Diabetes and Cardiovascular Risk in Women
Highlights
In this special issue, we looked at Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in women with diabetes from different perspectives, giving a great contribution to this topic, in terms of mortality, management of risk factors, and therapies
Since 1998, when Haffner et al [1] stated that subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) had a CVD risk “equivalent” to previous myocardial infarction, a large number of studies have shown that this relative risk for CVD due to diabetes is greater in women than in men [2]
We looked at CVD in women with diabetes from different perspectives, giving a great contribution to this topic, in terms of mortality, management of risk factors, and therapies
Summary
We looked at CVD in women with diabetes from different perspectives, giving a great contribution to this topic, in terms of mortality, management of risk factors, and therapies. Two papers of this special issue looked at sex differences in CVD mortality associated with diabetes.
