It is important for cardiovascular nurses, nurse practitioners and other members of the cardiovascular health care team to ensure patients with diabetes are effectively treated with evidence-based therapies. By initiating or switching to appropriate treatments for diabetes, improved patient outcomes are possible, with reduced risk of major cardiovascular events including heart attack and stroke.

Join us in February for an hour-long webinar as we learn about Connecting Diabetes and Heart Disease – Steps to Achieving Improved Cardiovascular Outcomes in Diabetic Patients.
