What factors are related to increased carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) in adolescents and young adults with IDDM?
What factors are related to increased carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) in adolescents and young adults with IDDM?
Carotid intima-media thickness, an index of atherosclerosis, is increased early in adolescents with IDDM and correlates with urinary albumin, endothelin-1, blood pressure, and free cortisol.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
IMT may mark early vascular risk in adolescent IDDM; leaves open causal roles of albuminuria and cortisol in progression.
IMT, an index of atherosclerosis (macroangiopathy), is increased in IDDM subjects quite early (already in adolescence), and it is positively related to urinary albumin, UET1, blood pressure, and UFC.
