Macrosomic Newborns of Diabetic Mothers Are Associated with Increased Aortic Intima-Media Thickness and Lipid Concentrations
Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Exposure to diabetes in utero has been established as a significant risk factor for some of components of metabolic syndrome. A few studies have examined relationship between the metabolic syndrome and echocardiographic left ventricular (LV) mass. We aimed to investigate relationship between abdominal aortic intima-media thickness (aIMT), LV mass and lipid profile in macrosomic newborns.
METHODS: Abdominal aIMT was measured in …
