Nurse Practitioner –Directed Cardio-Diabetes Pilot Program
Historically, antihyperglycemics for patients with Type 2 diabetes have not been managed by cardiology clinicians. This paradigm has shifted after the release of cardiovascular (CV) outcome trials using 2 new classes of antihyperglycemics agents, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors or glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists, which demonstrated a decrease in all-cause mortality, CV death, and stroke. The purpose of this pilot program was to translate this trial data into practice by developing a protocol for cardiology-based nurse practitioners (NPs) to initiate these agents.

Comparisons of cardiometabolic biomarkers, lifestyle behaviors, and dietary sodium and potassium intake in a representative sample of Korean adults with and without cardio-cerebrovascular diseases
Conclusion The cardiometabolic condition varied, with hypertensives having a higher prevalence for obesity, high blood pressure, and cholesterol; poorer adherence to the behavioral recommendations was also noted in cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. Such variations in cardiovascular risks would provide implications for addressing vulnerability across groups.
