Metabolic syndrome correlates with polyvascular lesions detected by systemic vascular ultrasonography in Japanese people with type 2 diabetes.
Atherosclerosis is a systemic disease of blood vessels. We investigated clinical characteristics of Japanese type 2 diabetic patients with polyvascular lesions detected by systemic vascular ultrasonography. The results showed that the metabolic syndrome correlated with polyvascular lesions detected by systemic vascular ultrasonography in Japanese type 2 diabetics.
