background: pregnant women with previous gestational diabetes mellitus are at increased risk of progressive carotid artery disorders. the current study evaluated carotid intima-media thickness (imt) in pregnant women with gestational diabetes at two time points of mid-term and full-term pregnancy to determine whether gestational diabetes mellitus causes increased imt. methods: this cross-sectio...

background diabetes mellitus is a widespread disease. its vascular complications can be characterized by arteriosclerosis formation in carotid arteries. due to its delayed diagnosis resulting in more complications in iran, it seems that screening diabetic patients is mandatory. objectives the aim of this study was to compare the intima-media thickness (imt) of carotid artery in diabetic and non...

BACKGROUND Pregnant women with previous gestational diabetes mellitus are at increased risk of progressive carotid artery disorders. The current study evaluated carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) in pregnant women with gestational diabetes at two time points of mid-term and full-term pregnancy to determine whether gestational diabetes mellitus causes increased IMT. METHODS This cross-sectio...

conclusions our study shows a relationship between cimt and renal parameters, including egfr and albuminuria. this study confirms the importance of intensive examinations for early detection of atherosclerosis and treatment of risk factors. patients and methods this cross-sectional study was included 205 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (t2dm). we recorded clinical and biochemical data su...

objective: gestational diabetes mellitus occurs during pregnancy is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. carotid intima media thickness (cimt) is a surrogate maker of subclinical atherosclerosis. the aim of this study is assessment of relationship between cimt and infra-renal abdominal aorta diameter in women with and without gestational diabetes mellitus. materials and methods: the c...

AIMS Patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus have greater carotid intima media thickness and they are at risk for generalized atherosclerosis. This study aimed to compare the thickness of carotid artery intima media in type-2 diabetes mellitus patients with and without nonblood pressure component metabolic syndrome. SETTINGS AND DESIGN This was a comparative observational study conducted in th...

Objective: Gestational diabetes mellitus occurs during pregnancy is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) is a surrogate maker of subclinical atherosclerosis. The aim of this study is assessment of relationship between CIMT and infra-renal abdominal aorta diameter in women with and without Gestational Diabetes Mellitus. Materials and Methods: Th...

type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated with increased inflammation and accelerated atherosclerosis. the association of the pro-inflammatory and potentially pro-atherosclerotic molecule, pregnancy associated plasma protein-a (papp-a) with diabetes and vascular diseases remains to be further established. a total of 107 patients with type 2 diabetes and 101 healthy controls participated in this st...
