Aim: Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) have increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) including stroke. The risk of CVD is traditionally assessed using office blood pressure (BP) and lipid profile. Increased arterial stiffness predicts cardiovascular events in the general population. We investigated if arterial stiffness was associated with cerebrovascular disease in patients with T2DM and sex- and age-matched controls indepentl y of classical risk factors.<p class...
