Carbohydrate metabolism disorders and cerebral atherosclerosis in patients with ischemic cerebrovascular diseases

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and metabolic syndrome (MS)facilitate the development of ischemic cerebrovascular diseases.This article presents the results of examination of patients withischemic cerebrovascular diseases associated with T2DM andMS. We have found that T2DM adversely affects the progressionof atherosclerosis in patients with cerebrovascular diseases, andactivity of the atherosclerotic process in the great cerebral arteriesdirectly depends on the duration of carbohydrate disorders.
