Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between the circulating BMP-4 levels and atherosclerosis in patients with Type 2 diabetes. Material & methods: Serum BMP-4 levels were measured in 174 diabetic patients, and the degree of atherosclerosis was assessed by measuring the carotid intima-media thickness and the cardio-ankle vascular index. Results: Serum BMP-4 levels were inversely correlated with systolic blood pressure, triglycerides, free fatty acids, cardio-ankle vascular index and carotid intima-media thickness. Lower BMP-4 levels were shown to be an independent predictor of the increased cardio-ankle vascular index and carotid intima-media thickness after adjusting for conventional cardiovascular risk factors in patients with Type 2 diabetes. Conclusion: Serum BMP-4 levels are inversely associated with surrogate markers of arterial stiffness and carotid atherosclerosis in patients with Type 2 diabetes.
