Abstract

In most developed countries, Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) remain the main cause of morbidity and mortality in the general population, especially among the elderly.1 People with Diabetes mellitus (DM) are on average at double the risk of CVD.2 Cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention includes all the actions intended to eliminate or reduce the impact of these disorders and their disabilities in the population or even targeted at individuals. The goal of this editorial is to review the pharmacological strategies aimed to control blood glucose that was proven to be useful in preventing death related to CVD or other important cardiovascular outcomes (i.e. myocardial infarction, stroke or renal impairment).
