| Abstract;Arterial stiffness is increased in type 2 diabetes mellitus, and diabetes preferentially affects arterial stiffness of the central (elastic, capacitive) over peripheral (muscular, conduit) arteries. We hypothesized that arterial stiffness of the central artery may be more closely associated with ischemic heart disease (IHD) than stiffness of peripheral arteries in type 2 diabetes mellitus. The subjects were 595 type 2 diabetes patients including 70 with IHD. Arterial stiffness was measured as pulse wave velocity (PWV) in the heart-carotid, heart-femoral, heart-brachial, and femoral-ankle regions. The PWV values of the four segments correlated with each other in patients without IHD. However, the correlations were less impressive in those with IHD, suggesting unequal stiffening of regional arteries in IHD. As compared with patients without IHD, the IHD group showed significantly higher PWV values of the four arterial segments, particularly of the heart-femoral region. The presence of IHD was significantly associated with higher heart-femoral PWV, and this association remained significant and independent of other factors in a multiple logistic regression analysis. Pulse pressure was more strongly correlated with PWV of the heart-femoral than other arterial regions. Thus, diabetic patients with IHD have increased stiffness of arteries, particularly of the aorta, supporting the concept that central arterial stiffness plays an important role in the development of IHD.
