  • Overview

    Type 2 diabetes and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) can have detrimental impacts on our patients. In fact, it’s been shown that life expectancy for patients with both type 2 diabetes and ASCVD (stroke and heart attack) may be nearly 15 years shorter than those without diabetes.1,2 So how can we reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events for these patients? Joining Dr. Jennifer Caudle to share his perspective as an interventional cardiologist is Dr. Robert Chilton, Professor of Medicine and Director of the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio.
