Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with an increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Vascular inflammation is a key factor in both the pathogenesis and outcome of atherosclerosis. (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) is a promising tool for indentifying and quantifying vascular inflammation within atherosclerotic plaques. This study was designed to examine the vascular inflammation measured using FDG-PET in patients with impaired glucose tolerance and T2DM, in comparison with age- and sex-matched control subjects with normal glucose tolerance.
