Diabetes in Cardiovascular Disease: A Companion to Braunwald's Heart Disease

Darren McGuire, MD, is Professor of Internal Medicine and The Dallas Heart Ball Chair for Research on Heart Disease in Women at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. Dr McGuire is also the Director of the Cardiology Clinic at Parkland Hospital and Health System in Dallas. His coeditor Nikolaus Marx, MD, is Professor of Medicine and Cardiology and Head of the Department of Internal Medicine at the University Hospital in Aachen, Germany. Both are highly regarded international experts, writers, and researchers in the increasingly converging area of diabeto-cardiology as well as editors of the first edition of this title.

"This is a superbly written summary of cardiodiabetic epidemiology, pathophysiology, and management from an international panel of multidisciplinary faculty. The book has an encyclopedic level of content that has been restructured in an eminently readable fashion." --Conrad Jablonski, MD (Ochsner Clinic Foundation) for Doody's Review Service
