  • Abstract
    Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM), or adult-onset diabetes, is being considered as a new pandemia. Cardiovascular disease is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in type 2 DM, due to arterial structure and function changes. Assessment of arterial structure and biomechanics, by non-invasive methods and parameters, can be used to detect early alterations related to DM.
