Subclinical vascular damage in young adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus

Among subclinical vascular damage indices, carotid distensibility was the most altered in this sample of young adults with T1DM. But all the investigated markers showed a close association with BP values rather than with the other traditional cardiovascular risk factors. Further studies are warranted to better define the role of BP, especially cBP, in the stratification of cardiovascular risk in T1DM patients.
