Background Cardiovascular diseases are the most common cause of disability and death
among subjects with non–insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). The atherosclerotic …

Background—Type 2 diabetes (DM-2) and impaired glucose metabolism (IGM) are
associated with an increased cardiovascular disease risk. In nondiabetic individuals …

Impaired glucose metabolism (IGM) and type 2 diabetes (DM-2) are associated with high
cardiovascular disease risk. Increases in peripheral and central artery stiffness may …

Increased arterial stiffness associated with diabetes and the metabolic syndrome may in part
explain the increased cardiovascular disease risk observed in these conditions. Arterial …

Rationale: Previous studies on the relationship between diabetes and arterial stiffness were
mostly cross-sectional. A few longitudinal studies focused on one single direction. Whether …

OBJECTIVE Diabetes is known to be associated with increased arterial stiffness. However,
the temporal association between increased carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf PWV) …

The excess risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus remains
largely unexplained. Arterial stiffness, an early feature of diabetic vasculopathy involving …

Large artery stiffening could contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease. The
aim of this study was to investigate associations between arterial stiffness and diameter with …

Hypertension (HT) is frequently associated with diabetes mellitus (DM) and its prevalence
doubles in diabetics compared to the general population. This high prevalence is associated …

Arterial stiffness is an age-related process that is a shared consequence of numerous
diseases including diabetes mellitus (DM), and is an independent predictor of mortality both …
