Ultrasound analysis of gray‐scale median value of carotid plaques is a useful reference index for cerebro‐cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes

Abstract

The present results suggest the GSM value to be useful as a reference index for CVD events in high-risk atherosclerotic diabetics. Associations of the EPA/AA ratio with known CVD risk factors warrant a larger and more extensive study to show the usefulness of this parameter.
