Abstract
We demonstrate in this study a greater BP-independent arterial stiffness β0 in people with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) compared to those without, and also a greater change in β0 over 3 yr in people with T2DM than those without. These findings suggest that the intrinsic properties of the arterial wall may change in a different and more detrimental way in people with T2DM and likely represents accumulation of cardiovascular risk.
