Carotid intima‐media thickness and cerebrovascular reactivity in long‐term type 1 diabetes mellitus

Abstract

Our results refer to early macro- and microangiopathic involvement of the cerebral vessels, which develop in parallel with angiopathies of the other organs, such as nephropathy and retinopathy. Further prospective studies are needed to clarify the role of these macro- and microangiopathic changes in the development of cerebrovascular complications in patients suffering from DM.
