Abstract
To study the character, prevalence, and typological structure of atherosclerotic changes in major arteries by multislice computed tomography in patients with various metabolic disorders. Carotid arteries of 78 patients with metabolic syndrome or type 2 diabetes mellitus and without carbohydrate metabolism disorders were examined by multislice computed tomography. The study revealed various types of atherosclerotic plaques differing in the composition of lipid, lipid-fibrotic and calcium components. The latter were especially well expressed in diabetes. All types of atherosclerotic plaques are roughly equally represented in the structure of atherosclerotic lesions of carotid arteries in patients with metabolic syndrome in the absence of type 2 diabetes. Diabetic patients had vascular lesions with especially high density of atherosclerotic plaques.
