Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Diseases in People With Diabetes Mellitus. A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association and the American Diabetes Association

John B. Buse MD, PhD, Co-chair, Henry N. Ginsberg MD, FAHA, Co-chair, George L. Bakris MD, FAHA, Nathaniel G. Clark MD, MS, RD, Fernando Costa MD, FAHA, Robert Eckel MD, FAHA, Vivian Fonseca MD, Hertzel C. Gerstein MD, MSc, FRCPC, Scott Grundy MD, FAHA, Richard W. Nesto MD, FAHA, Michael P. Pignone MD, MPH, Jorge Plutzky MD, Daniel Porte MD, Rita Redberg MD, FAHA, Kimberly F. Stitzel MS, RD, and Neil J. Stone MD, FAHA

Abstract--The American Heart Association (AHA) and the American Diabetes Association (ADA) have each published guidelines for cardiovascular disease prevention: The ADA has issued separate recommendations for each of the cardiovascular risk factors in patients with diabetes, and the AHA has shaped primary and secondary guidelines that extend to patients with diabetes. This statement will attempt to harmonize the recommendations of both organizations where possible but will recognize areas in which AHA and ADA recommendations differ.


Key words: AHA Scientific Statement • cardiovascular diseases • diabetes mellitus • primary prevention
