Factors associated with carotid intima-media thickness and carotid plaques in type 2 diabetic patients

Abstract: In type 2 diabetic patients, older age, male sex, smoking status and ambulatory BPs, particularly night-time pulse pressure, were the main independent correlates of ultrasonographic carotid atherosclerosis. This finding reinforces the importance of ambulatory BP monitoring in type 2 diabetes management.

“…Age is well established as a predictor of CCA IMT in subjects with type 1[10,22] and type 2 diabetes[23]. In addition, weight was a positive predictor of CCA IMT in this study, independent of sex, and has been previously associated with CCA IMT in cohorts with and without diabetes[24,25].…”

“…Univariate analysis showed male sex was non-significantly associated with greater mean ( P = 0.12) and mean maximum ( P = 0.089) CCA IMT. Previously it has been shown that male sex is associated with greater CCA IMT in people with diabetes[23,24]. Univariate analysis showed that smoking pack years was weakly positively associated with mean and mean maximum CCA IMT but this correlation did not persist after adjustment for age and weight.…”

“…Moreover, this surrogate index of large artery compliance has been demonstrated to predict cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in a variety of populations (3-7). Additionally, increased IMT has also been reported as a risk factor for future cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes or hypertension (8). …”
