AI-generated Abstract

The research investigates carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) in diabetic and hypertensive patients compared to controls, highlighting its association with cardiovascular risks. A total of 562 individuals were studied, revealing that diabetic patients had a mean IMT of 0.781 mm, hypertensive patients 0.738 mm, and controls 0.686 mm. The study concluded that diabetic patients exhibit greater IMT, while the annual increase in thickness is more pronounced in hypertensive individuals, with adverse cardiovascular implications.
