Cardiac magnetic resonance assessment of aortic distensibility in prediabetic patients

Abstract Background Hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and hyperinsulinemia represent important pathophysiological components of the prediabetic stage that result in arteriosclerosis and increased arterial stiffness. We sought to compare the aortic distensibility (AD) assessed by cardiac magnetic re...
