The dysvascular and diabetic patient: Update in diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation. Preface.

摘要

The number of patients with cardiovascular diseases, such as coronary heart disease and peripheral vascular diseases, and related conditions such as diabetes mellitus continues to increase in the United States. All these patients have diseases that cause ischemia and macro- and/or microvascular abnormalities, and thus they can all be grouped under the category of dysvascular diseases. All rehabilitation providers will encounter these patients in their practices regardless of their rehabilitation specialty, and they must have the tools to ensure that, after appropriate diagnosis, function is maximized through appropriate treatment and rehabilitation.
