| Abstract: | Purpose: We determined the prevalence of the clinical and biochemical risk factors as well as the extent of atherosclerosis in carotid arteries in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2(DMT2). Methods: A total of 289 subjects with DMT2 and 157 healthy subjects were enrolled in this prospective cross-sectional study. Leveles of total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), triglycerides, fasting, blood glucose, fribrinogen, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) were measured using standard biochemical methods. Carotid atherosclerosis was assessed by ultrasonography. Intima media thickness (IMT), plaque type and plaque score were also determined. |
