"Introduction"Prof. Jean-Pierre Després (biography)
English - 2005-10-25 - 16 minutes
|
 | (7 slides) |
Summary :
In this introduction, Prof. Després talks about the “toxic” environment in today's society which promotes obesity, the development of type 2 diabetes and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
Hyperglycemia management is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to preventing first or recurrent myocardial infarction in diabetic patients. The underlying metabolic abnormalities and inflammation associated with abdominal obesity must be additionally controlled in order to minimize the risk of cardiovascular outcomes in these individuals. Prof. Després presents data from the NHANES study showing how the presence or absence of the metabolic syndrome affects CHD risk in diabetes (1).
