P153 MARKER OF TYPE VI COLLAGEN FORMATION (PRO-C6) IS ASSOCIATED WITH HIGHER ARTERIAL STIFFNESS IN TYPE 1 DIABETES

P153 MARKER OF TYPE VI COLLAGEN FORMATION (PRO-C6) IS ASSOCIATED WITH HIGHER ARTERIAL STIFFNESS IN TYPE 1 DIABETES

Aim: Arterial stiffening reflects fragmentation and loss of elastin fibers and accumulation of stiffer collagen fibers in the media of large arteries. We evaluated associations between carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) and a marker of collagen type VI formation (Pro-C6) and a marker of col...
