Changes in carotid intima‐media thickening in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: Subanalysis of the Sitagliptin Preventive Study of Intima‐Media Thickness Evaluation
Figure 1 shows differences in treatment-induced delta change in carotid IMT relative to baseline, according to various pre-defined risk factors for atherosclerosis. These data suggest that treatment with DPP-4 inhibitors seem to prevent the progression of carotid atherosclerosis regardless of disease burden.
متن کاملCarotid wall viscosity increase is related to intima-media thickening in hypertensive patients.
Increases in arterial wall viscosity and intima-media thickness (IMT) were found in hypertensive patients. Because smooth muscle cells are responsible for the viscous behavior of the arterial wall and they are involved in the process of thickening of the intima-media complex, this study evaluates the relationship between carotid thickness and wall viscosity. The simultaneous and noninvasive ass...
متن کاملdiurnal variations in blood pressure and their relation with carotid artery intima-media thickening
abstract introduction: hypertension is a very common cardiovascular disease with extensive effects on body organs. this study was conducted to compare the extent of target organ damage in hypertensive patients with and without significant nocturnal fall in blood pressure (dippers and non-dippers, respectively). methods: one-hundred patients with recently diagnosed hypertension underwent 24-hou...
متن کاملNateglinide reduces carotid intima-media thickening in type 2 diabetic patients under good glycemic control.
OBJECTIVE Postprandial hyperglycemia observed in type 2 diabetes mellitus is a risk factor for atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of strict glycemic control by nateglinide on common carotid far wall intima-media thickness in type 2 diabetic patients who were already under good glycemic control. METHODS AND RESULTS We performed an open labeled randomized prosp...
متن کاملSitagliptin Attenuates the Progression of Carotid Intima-Media Thickening in Insulin-Treated Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: The Sitagliptin Preventive Study of Intima-Media Thickness Evaluation (SPIKE)
This prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded end point, multicenter, parallel group, comparative study included 282 insulin-treated patients with T2DM free of a history of apparent cardiovascular diseases who were recruited at 12 clinical units and randomly allocated to either the sitagliptin group (n = 142) or the control group (n = 140). The primary outcomes were changes in mean and maxi...
