In all patients with diabetes, cardiovascular risk factors should be systematically assessed at
least annually. These risk factors include dyslipidemia, hypertension, smoking, a family
history of premature coronary disease, and the presence of albuminuria. Abnormal risk
factors should be treated as described elsewhere in these guidelines. Atherosclerotic
cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) ddefined as acute coronary syndromes (ACSs), a history of
myocardial infarction (MI), stable or unstable angina, coronary or other arterial …

American Diabetes Association - Diabetes care, 2015 - Am Diabetes Assoc
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the major cause of morbidity and mortality for individuals
with diabetes and is the largest contributor to the direct and indirect costs of diabetes. The
common conditions coexisting with type 2 diabetes (eg, hypertension and dyslipidemia) are
clear risk factors for CVD, and diabetes itself confers independent risk. Numerous studies
have shown the efficacy of controlling individual cardiovascular risk factors in preventing or
slowing CVD in people with diabetes. Large benefits are seen when multiple risk factors are …

(ACSs), a history of myocardial infarction (MI), stable or unstable angina, coronary or other
arterial revascularization, stroke, transient ischemic attack, or peripheral arterial disease
presumed to be of atherosclerotic origindis the leading cause of morbidity and mortality for
individuals with diabetes and is the largest contributor to the direct and indirect costs of
