Aortic Distensibility, Assessed by MRI, is Decreased in Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus and Elevated LDL-C

Aortic Distensibility, Assessed by MRI, is Decreased in Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus and Elevated LDL-C

Aims : To determine whether children with T1DM and elevated LDL-C have evidence of aortic stiffness using cardiac MRI.
Adolescents with T1DM and elevated LDL-C have a stiffer aorta than healthy non-diabetic patients; stiffness is directly related to diabetes control and may be a viable measure of subclinical atherosclerotic disease.
