Introduction: Large clinical trials demonstrate that glycemic, blood pressure, and cholesterol control lead to risk reduction in cardiovascular events. We determined whether A1c, blood pressure, and cholesterol control were associated with incident cardiovascular disease [CVD] in a community-based endocrinology practice over 10 years. Methods: 385 consecutive patients seen for diabetes management in a CBEP comprised the analysis cohort. To be included, a patient had ≥2 A1c, blood pressure, and LDLc measurements respectively without prevalent CVD. All patients were 18 years or older with a diagnosis of diabetes before or during calendar year 2000. Results: 17.6% of patients developed incident CVD over 10 years. After controlling for age, gender, and time, patients who improved their A1c to

Varma et al. (2013) conducted a cohort in Diabetes without prevalent cardiovascular disease (n=385). A1c, blood pressure, and cholesterol control was evaluated on Incident cardiovascular disease. In a cohort of patients with diabetes without prevalent cardiovascular disease, 17.6% developed incident cardiovascular disease over 10 years.
