What are the characteristics of the onset of diabetic foot macrovascular disease? Diabetic macrovascular disease is mainly characterized by macrovascular atherosclerosis, which is difficult to distinguish from non-diabetic patient arteriosclerosis in pathological changes. Microcirculation disorders mainly include microvascular disease, microcirculation disorder, and changes in the physicochemical properties of blood. So what are the characteristics of the onset of diabetic macrovascular disease? Let's invite experts from Shanxi Yikang Peripheral Vascular Hospital to introduce this topic below.
The macrovascular disease of diabetic foot is difficult to distinguish from arteriosclerosis in non-diabetic patients in terms of pathological changes, but it differs from non-diabetic macrovascular diseases in clinical causes and epidemiology. First, due to metabolic disorders in diabetic patients, the occurrence of arteriosclerosis in peripheral macrovessels occurs earlier, at a younger age, with faster disease progression, and more severe lesions. Second, diabetic peripheral macrovascular disease tends to occur in arteries below the knee, mainly the tibial artery, peroneal artery, and their branches. Third, due to diabetic macrovascular disease, diabetic foot patients experience insufficient blood supply to the lower extremities, and clinical symptoms appear earlier. It has been reported that the incidence of foot gangrene in diabetic patients over 40 years old is 20-40 times higher than in non-diabetic patients.
What are the characteristics of the onset of diabetic foot macrovascular disease? The above is a detailed introduction by experts on the characteristics of the onset of diabetic foot macrovascular disease, hoping it can help you. If you have more questions, you can consult online with experts from Shanxi Yikang Peripheral Vascular Hospital. Finally, I wish you good health.
