| Abstract | ||
| Pre-diabetes is a risk factor for the development of future diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality all over the world. One of the many underlying pathological processes that lead to CVDs is atherosclerosis. Endothelial dysfunction is essential in the development of any vascular process and occurs early in the development of atherosclerosis. Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), flow-mediated vasodilatation (FMD) and pulse wave velocity (PWV) are instrumental non-invasive tools able to detect the early impairment in the cardiovascular system and assess cardiovascular risk of individuals. | ||
