Quantitative evaluation of the effect of hyperlipidemia on carotid artery stiffness in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus using shear wave elastography
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a major risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD), and hyperlipidemia (HLD) frequently coexists. Shear wave elastography (SWE) quantifies carotid stiffness and may improve CVD risk stratification. To evaluate the impact of HLD on carotid stiffness in T2DM using SWE....
