Abstract
Patients with type 2 diabetes or CVD are subject to an increased incidence of cardiovascular events and interventions compared to high-risk patients without type 2 diabetes or vascular disease. Patients with type 2 diabetes and CVD have the highest incidence of new cardiovascular diseases and vascular interventions when compared to patients without type 2 diabetes and CVD. These results underline the need for optimal risk factor treatment as well as the need for new prevention and treatment strategies in this very high risk population.
