Determinants of arterial stiffness in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a cross sectional analysis.

ABSTRACT: In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) arterial stiffness is associated with increased cardiovascular and total mortality. Little is known about determinants of arterial stiffness in clinical routine. Identification of potential determinants of arterial stiffness will help to address treatment targets for patients in the early state of T2DM. This is a cross-sectional analysis of arterial stiffness in 266 patients in the early stage of T2DM who did not have cardiovascular or renal complications. Parameters of arterial stiffness such as central systolic blood pressure (cSBP), central pulse pressure (cPP) and pulse wave velocity (PWV) were measured with the SphygmoCor System (AtCor Medical). We investigated the influence of parameters of glucose metabolism, lipid status, body consti
