Cardio Diabetes Medicine 2017 XIII

FOREWORD

We are all aware of the twin epidemics namely Diabetes and Coronary artery heart
disease in our country and similar phenomenon is spreading to rest of the world. We
are struggling to cope with the burden imposed by the epidemics. Cardio diabetolo-
gy or Vascular medicine has been trying to take shape as an interrelated speciality
to set focus on the dual issue, which is an evolving agenda of public health world
wide. The Global cardio diabetic conclave exactly addresses the issue and provide
a platform for the experts to converge in the related specialities namely cardiology
and diabetology in our country.

The first attempt of this kind of conference will make relevant doctors like GPs,
Physicians, Diabetologists, Endocrinologists, and Cardiologists to come together to
share their knowledge and experiences . The scientific topics has been thoughtfully
prepared by the scientific committee which I am sure will be appreciated by the
participants. It will also help the research minded people to do collaborative research
and to network with their peers. The innovative aspect of GCDC 2017 is its book
release. The compilation of the topics presented in the conference will be a torch
bearer of future books on Cardiodiabetology.
