✦ Synopsis

Atherosclerosis is the most frequent complication of diabetes. It affects all major vascular beds. The metabolic derangements that occur in diabetes may underlie many of the reasons for this. These abnormalities include alterations in the metabolism of lipoproteins, particularly the triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. Studies are currently being conducted to determine whether correcting the dyslipoproteinaemias associated with diabetes will reduce the risk of atherosclerosis in the diabetic population.

Atherosclerosis is a chronic disease which involves the build up of cholesterol and fatty deposits within the arterial wall. This results in the narrowing of the vessel lumen, which eventually restricts blood flow to vital organs such as the heart and lungs. These events may culminate in a heart att
