Carotid Doppler Ultrasonography in Diabetic Mellitus
摘要
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is correlated with high morbidity, and mortality, with diverse acute and primarily chronic problems arising from both functional and structural impairments to the vascular. The primary features of diabetic vasculopathy include modifications to the vascular wall, which can cause dysfunction in both endothelial and smooth muscle cells. Several clinical investigations have examined the correlation between particular sonographic properties of the carotid arteries and the short-term clinical outcomes of individuals with carotid atherosclerosis in diabetes.
