This volume brings together discoveries that shed light upon the overall picture of the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis in diabetes. The book is divided into three diabetes and lipids; diabetes and atherosclerosis; and diabetes and hypertension. Chapters within each section highlight new research and a concluding chapter in each part summarizes the clinical applications and practical implications of the research presented. Written by internationally-recognized experts in the field, it should be of interest to academic physicians and private practitioners alike. R.
