Diabetic vascular disease as early as early treatment to check

The occurrence of diabetic vascular disease processes: decreased blood vessel flexibility, increase stiffness. Increases with age, risk factors or increase after a progressive thickening of the vessel wall. This endothelial cell damage after, there will be blood lipid deposition. Increases with age, with the continuing role of diabetes, blood vessel lumen will become increasingly narrow, this process took place gradually.

Under normal circumstances, when blood vessels narrow 70% of the activities of the person to produce some of the symptoms of angina pectoris. If the patient is more than 90% stenosis of the time, even if no activities are the symptoms of angina pectoris and in the end the formation of thrombosis, which has led to myocardial infarction.

Vascular disease inspection There are several ways of early detection. For example, coronary angiography, which is a therapy intervention. Some new, simple non-invasive approach, called spiral CT can be seen.

Early detection of vascular disease in three ways:

A: Check the status of systemic blood vessels, so this check, just like blood pressure, as long as the set of cuff to your wrist and ankle on it.

Objective: This inspection is a measure of arterial stiffness as a check, it adopted a pulse wave conduction velocity, to detect the degree of arterial stiffness. In addition it can determine whether the patency of lower extremity arteries.

Second: check the body large and medium-sized arteries, in doing the inspection, so long as this clip to the wrist on the folder, and then the same two things as electrodes, one on the neck, another on the thigh could be a root , you see the results of inspections has been apparent through the computer.

Objective: To this inspection is to reflect the flexibility of large and medium-sized artery, it can predict coronary artery stenosis have to evaluate the extent of coronary artery stenosis, the heart and the brain is limited to an assessment of blood vessels.

III: Detection of carotid artery, so the check is like to do a carotid B-, the degree of carotid artery stiffness and whether to pass through the narrow way to check this out. But that carotid artery blood supply to the brain an important channel to find out whether it is healthy but very necessary.

Check the significance of early detection, early prevention, early treatment, in the arteries appears to increase stiffness or mild stenosis, take an active treatment.
