A Prospective Study of Endothelial Dysfunction and Diabetic Foot Ulcer Risk
Completed
Conditions studied: Diabetic Foot Ulcers
In brief
This project will identify risk factors for diabetic foot ulcer by studying the relationship between endothelial dysfunction and foot ulcer risk. A fundamental defect in type 1 and 2 diabetic subjects is impaired vasodilatory reserve which is reflected in the dysfunction of endothelium-dependent vasodilation. Findings thus far point to an important role of the microvasculature in the development of diabetic foot ulcer and amputation. In this study a a well-characterized cohort of 750 diabetic veterans without foot ulcer will be followed over 3-years.
