    Abstract

    In 2007, over 23 million people had diabetes in the United States and death from cardiovascular disease is estimated to occur in 80% of those Americans. Risk factor reduction is the most important therapy for primary and secondary prevention of macrovascular disease in patients with and without diabetes mellitus. Despite this, presentation and response to therapy is often different for patients with diabetes compared to their non-diabetic counterparts. This paper will review the current targets for therapy of cardiovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease, and cerebrovascular disease in patients with diabetes.
