Abstract
The relationship between macrovascular complications of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and dyslipidemia is explored. Management strategies for patients with lipid abnormalities are given, along with indications and use of available drug classes. Pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic approaches to hypertension management are reviewed. The controversies concerning the use of various classes of anti-hypertensive drugs including calcium channel blockers and diuretic therapy are also discussed.
