Pathologic effect of diabetes on blood vessels( Vascular changes)

A- large and medium sized arteries :

  • aorta,coronary and cerebral arteries have accelerated atherosclerosis .

  • Cerbrovascular: hemorrhage,infarction,memory loss.

  • Cardiovascular: angina,heart failure.

  • Peripheral vascular disease: ulcer ,gangrene in limbs,foot.

B- small sized arterioles : thickening of their walls due to deposition of hyaline material e.g afferent and efferent arterioloscelrosis of kidney(hypertension).
