[Update on diabetic macroangiopathy].

Der Pathologe

Abstract

Current findings from the literature on the multifactorial genesis of macroangiopathy of diabetes mellitus (DM) were compiled using the PubMed database. The primary aim was to find an explanation for the morphological, immunohistochemical and molecular characteristics of this form of atherosclerosis. The roles of advanced glycation end products (AGE), defective signal transduction and imbalance of matrix metalloproteinases in the increased progression of atherosclerosis in coronary and cerebral arteries as well as peripheral vascular disease are discussed. The restricted formation of collateral arteries (arteriogenesis) in diabetic patients with postischemic lesions is also a focus of attention. The increased level of prothrombotic factors and the role of diabetic neuropathy in DM are also taken into account. Therapeutic influences of AGE-RAGE (receptor of AGE) interactions on the vascular wall and the effects of endothelial progenitor cells in the repair of diabetic vascular lesions are additionally highlighted.

Atherosclerosis Disease Progression

Atherosclerosis is the buildup of plaque on artery walls, causing stenosis which can eventually lead to clinically apparent cardiovascular disease. Find the latest research on atherosclerosis disease progression here.
