The annual Congress on Metabolic Syndrome, type II Diabetes and Atherosclerosis (MSDA) held its 6th international meeting in Berlin, Germany, in May 2009, and brought together experts in the fields of diabetes, atherosclerosis, and cardiovascular disease (CVD).
This specialised meeting provided an opportunity for Bayer Schering Pharma (BSP) to highlight the clinical benefits of nifedipine GastroIntestinal Therapeutic System (GITS) (Adalat®), telmisartan (Pritor®/Kinzal®), acarbose (Glucobay®) and enteric-coated acetylsalicylic acid (AspirinCardio®), as cardiovascular-risk management (CVRM) strategies.
