Suggests early vascular changes in genetic diabetes risk; hypothesis-generating and needs prospective validation before any clinical role.
Is arterial pulse wave velocity increased in potential diabetic subjects compared to normal subjects?
Potential diabetic subjects show increased pulse wave velocity, suggesting early degenerative vascular disease occurs in those genetically destined to develop diabetes.
Gunn et al. (1965) studied this question.
