Investigating Thickness of Intima-Media in Carotid Artery by Doppler Ultrasound in Type 2 Diabetics: A Marker for Cardiovascular Risk

Abstract

Background: Cardiovascular disease ranks as the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among individuals with 
diabetes. The use of sonography has facilitated the evaluation of subclinical atherosclerosis by measuring the 
Carotid Intima-Media Thickness (CIMT). This study aimed to assess the role of CIMT in predicting cardiovascular 
risk among patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM)
