Oral hypoglycemic drugs and cardiovascular pathology
Abstract
The classification, the mechanisms of action and the main side effects of sulfonylureic derivatives and biguanides are discussed. Emphasis is laid on the present controversy concerning the assumed adverse effect of these drugs on the cardiovascular system. The authors' opinion in this problem and their practical conclusions are based on their experience at the Center of Nutrition and Metabolic Diseases, Bucharest.
