2005
Diabetes Care
OBJECTIVE -Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most important cause of mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes and is preceded by endothelial dysfunction. Flow-mediated dilation (FMD) is a noninvasive technique for measuring endothelial dysfunction. We aimed to determine the effect of long-term statin therapy versus placebo on FMD in patients with type 2 diabetes without manifest CVD. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS -A randomized, placebo-controlled, doubleblind trial was performed with 250 type
