Excerpt

To the Editor: We thank Drs Brassard and Poirier for their valuable comments on our recent publication in Diabetologia [1, 2]. We found that female adolescent patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes had an impaired stroke volume response to submaximal exercise and reduced maximal oxygen consumption compared with non-diabetic controls. We suggested that these impairments might be partially attributed to early cardiac impairments, which are observed in diabetic adults, including altered myocardial and left ventricular (LV) filling characteristics [3, 4]. …

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on medication adherence

Live: Thursday 27th June 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
