Given that cardiovascular health is an area of major concern in diabetes, multidisciplinary care is essential to ensure that comprehensive and multifactorial management plans can be put in place. So how can diabetes specialists best work with those in cardiology?

Today we’re joined by Professor Lars Rydén, to discuss collaboration opportunities for healthcare professionals in both diabetes and cardiology. Professor Rydén is Senior Professor of Cardiology at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm and is a past president of the European Society of Cardiology. As well as focusing much of his research on cardiovascular disease in diabetes, he also chaired the Task Forces of the 2007 and 2013 ESC Guidelines on diabetes, pre-diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases.
