Multi-modal magnetic resonance imaging quantifies atherosclerosis and vascular dysfunction in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Vascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is emerging as a powerful research tool. We studied 18 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and 20 controls (all with coronary artery disease). MRI measured distensibility, pulse wave velocity (PWV) and atherosclerosis in the aorta, and brachial artery flo...
