The Analysis Of The Relationship Between Impaired Glucose Regulation And The Atherosclerotic Stenosis

Objective: Ischemic stroke is one of the common diseases in the middle and elder population, is characteristic by high morbidity, high disability, high mortality and high recurrence rate and becomes the main reason of disability and death. And many studies from Chinese had stated that about 39%～70.98% of patients with ischemic stroke were companied with atherosclerosis stenositic or occlusive disease. Therefore, preventing atherosclerosis (AS) is very important. It is well known that diabetes mellitus (DM) was one of the most important risk factors of AS. The DM patients usually were with severely atherosclerotic stenosis or occlusive disease, and had higher disability and worse prognosis. Therefore these patients became the risky group of AS. Recently, it had been found that impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) were the transition phases that were between the normal glucose tolerance (NGT) and DM, and IFG and IGT were called impaired glucose regulation (IGR). Moreover, many studies had stated that although IGR was still in the phase of pre-diabetes, it has had the same metabolic characters as DM, and the morbidity and mortality of vascular events was much higher than that of NGT. But up to now, few studies about the prevalence of IGR in...
