Vascular risk factors in the obliterative peripheral arteriopathy of diabetic patients
Abstract:
To estimate the role of some vascular risk factors in the obliterative arteriopathy of diabetic patients, 71 subjects have been investigated: diabetics without arteriopathy, diabetics with arteriopathy and non-diabetics with arteriopathy. Age, sex, body weight, smoking habits, blood pressure, sedentary life style, diabetes therapy, plasma glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, total lipids, HDL-cholesterol, uric acid, and fibrinogen have been assessed, the parameters investigated. The results show that the risk factors studied maintain their role even in the obliterative peripheral arteriopathy of diabetic patients; however, there are differences in the relative importance of some of them.
