You see a consult for a CABG and your patient asks you why they need surgery. Upon reviewing their history you note they have Type 2 Diabetes. “Why did this develop? I keep track of my blood sugars, I’m pretty good with my diet and I take metformin”! Next time you are in this situation, educate your patients on their increased risks of CVD with Diabetes. #cardiovasculardisease #cardiovasculardiseaseawareness #heartmonth #palife #cvt #cardiology #heartcatheterization #operatingroom #congenitalheartdisease #criticalcare #cardiacsurgery #apacvs2025 #thoracicsurgery #yourpacan #vascularsurgery #cardiothoracic #surgerypa #congenitalheartdisease #physicianassistant #physicianassociate #physicianassistantstudent

Today is #WearRedDay. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women. As medical providers we need to continue to educate our patients on their risk factors and management of their co-morbidities!
