In 30 patients with diabetes type II and macroangiopathy of lower extremities, physical training was applied. This treatment was carried on in our Clinic for average 4 weeks. The following methods were applied: individual exercises of legs once or twice daily for 30-minutes, training in brine swimming pool for 30 minutes every-day, treatment walks with proportioning effort. Value of physical effort was not more than 30-40% max. pulse rate. The examination was performed before and after the programme of treatment. The examination included the following parameters: subjective test on cycloergometer, examination of blood flow velocity by Doppler method and biochemical examination of glycaemia and lipidemia. We found improvement in intermittent claudication distance, significant subjective improvement in velocity of blood flow in lower extremities. In our opinion physical vascular training is a valuable method of mono-operative treatment of vascular disease of legs in diabetic patients.

Background: Adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) can face a lifelong risk of premature cardiovascular events. Endothelial dysfunction and arterial stiffness may be some of the key mechanisms involved. Early identification of endothelial damage in ACHD could be crucial to mitigate the adverse events.

Objectives: To evaluate the combination of novel colour Doppler ultrasound (CDUS), greyscale ultrasound (GSUS), and oscillometric indices of macroangiopathy in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM). Second, to explore the associations between these imaging markers and both patient-related and disease-related characteristics, as well as traditional cardiovascular (CV) risk factors.
Methods: We conducted CDUS to evaluate arterial compliance markers, specifically the resistance (RI) and pulsatility (PI) indices, both in the common (CCA) and internal carotid arteries (ICA) of patients with IIM and healthy controls.

Department of Ophthalmology, Affiliated Hospital of Qinghai University, Xining, China.
Background: Carotid artery stenosis (CAS) is one of the most common macrovascular complications of hypertension. The ophthalmic artery springs from the internal carotid artery; however, the effect of CAS on ocular microcirculation has not been quantified in hypertension patients. This study aimed to quantify ocular microcirculation metrics in hypertension with CAS (HCAS) patients and to explore the relationship between micro- and macroangiopathy in hypertension.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major risk factor for lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD) and about 20% of symptomatic patients with LEAD have DM. In subjects with DM, LEAD is a cause of morbidity and mortality. DM typically causes complications in the form of macro- and microangiopathy.

Background: Diabetes can lead to micro and macro-angiopathies. The peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a serious and an incapacitating disease. It is still under-estimated and under-treated throughout the world, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa.
