Blood glucose and atherosclerosis.

Blood glucose and atherosclerosis.

T relationship of diabetes to cardiovascular disease has been known for over half a century and has been the subject of a number of reviews. The topic was discussed by the author and two colleagues in 1975, and the present paper concentrates on information published since that time. Although it is well known that diabetic patients commonly die from cardiovascular disease and that cardiovascular...

Corresponding author: Bo Kyung Koo Department of Internal Medicine, Boramae Medical Center, 39 Boramae Road, Dongjak-gu, Seoul 156-707, Korea E-mail: [email protected] Carotid intimal-medial thickness (IMT) is used as a surrogate marker for atherosclerosis and can predict future clinical cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke [1]. Furthermore, medications f...

Glucose tolerance, plasma lipids and atherosclerosis.

Introduction The problem of atherosclerosis is one of great complexity. Clinically we are concerned with an end result arterial obstruction which is the resultant of a multitude of precursor mechanisms, some external, some internal, many of them interdependent and interacting. We may start with our particular area of study, but if we follow it through, it will often become confluent with others...
