The American Heart Association Professional Education Podcast Series focuses on diabetes. Diabetes is one of the major controllable risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). People living with type 2 diabetes are more likely to develop and die from cardiovascular diseases, such as heart attacks, strokes, and heart failure, as well as develop other risk factors such as chronic kidney disease than people who don't have diabetes. Explore this podcast series and raise your awareness and understanding of the link between diabetes and CVD.
