Diabetic vascular plaques are atherosclerosis of blood vessels with a yellow-brown atheromatous bulge in the endothelium of the blood vessel in the gross view.
The etiology of diabetic vasculopathy is mostly related to hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance, disorders of lipid metabolism, abnormalities of endothelial cells and coagulation mechanisms, as well as genetic factors, hyperglycemia and many other factors. Among them, macrovascular lesions mainly refer to atherosclerosis, which is a chronic complication with a certain degree of risk.
Diabetic patients with increased lipids and endothelial damage risk is relatively large, endothelial damage, macrophages in the blood vessels phagocytosis of lipids through the damaged endothelium into the blood vessel wall, resulting in the deposition of lipids in the interior of the blood vessel wall, so that the general view of the blood vessel wall inside the yellow atherosclerosis-like material.
Diabetic macrovascular lesions mainly include cardiac lesions or cerebrovascular lesions, which are life-threatening in serious conditions. It is not only necessary to lower sugar, but also to lower fat and blood pressure, improve insulin resistance and correct hyperinsulinemia, correct abnormal blood clotting mechanism and avoid obesity. For patients with coronary heart disease and cerebral infarction, they should also be given appropriate functional exercise or psychotherapy in the later stage.
Diabetes is a systemic disease that affects health, once the condition is serious, the harm is very great, need to be early and active treatment, and should be in the guidance of professional physicians to determine the treatment program, do not take the liberty of treatment.
