Microvascular Dysfunction in Patients with Prediabetes: Novel Methods Identify Impaired Microcirculation
In this cross-sectional study, impaired skin and myocardial microvascular function were observed in patients with prediabetes in the absence of overt CVD. These findings suggest that LASCA and the SEVR may serve as sensitive markers for the detection of early, subclinical microvascular dysfunction in prediabetes.
