Change in common carotid artery diameter, distensibility and compliance in subjects with a recent history of impaired glucose tolerance

Abstract: In subjects with a recent history of impaired glucose tolerance, we observed an increase in carotid artery diameter and a decrease in distensibility. Change in blood pressure level and baseline fasting glucose and HbA1c levels were positively related to the increase in diameter. In men, but not in women, baseline fasting insulin levels were associated with an acceleration of these changes.

“…16 On the other hand, the role of hyperglycaemia in the pathophysiology of macro-angiopathy remains controversial and the prevention of macro-vascular events seems to involve the treatment of CV risk factors associated with DM, essentially HTN. 17 Several studies [35][36][37][38][39][40][41] have analysed the effect of DM on the arterial wall in an attempt to determine early indices of diabetic alteration. The results are heterogeneous but there is a general tendency toward an increase of the arterial stiffness in diabetic and in insulin resistant patients.…”

“…Premature conduit vessel arteriosclerosis predicts mortality in type 2 diabetes [3] and may be attenuated by therapeutic approaches with potential to lower glucose or blood pressure directly [4][5][6][7]. The independent association of FPG and 2-HPG indices with the haemodynamic consequence of early sclerosis (aortic stiffness) implies that modifiable structural mechanisms connect hyperglycaemia with vascular complications even within prediabetes thresholds of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) [8][9][10][11] and impaired fasting glycaemia (IFG) [12,13]. These relationships are reported individually [11][12][13] or as a cumulative effect of the metabolic syndrome.…”

“…[6][7][8] Estimation of arterial stiffness has been reported to be a useful method for assessment of early preclinical atherosclerosis. 9) Nonetheless, the relationships between different arterial stiffness indices and glucose homeostasis status were reported individually 10,11) or as a cumulative effect of the metabolic syndrome. 12,13) It is rare that studies have specifi cally addressed the effects of different stages of glucose homeostasis on peripheral arterial stiffness index.…”
