Abstract

As one of the major complications of diabetes, diabetic vasculopathy is a complex pathophysiological process participated by tunica adventitia, media, and intima. The diabetic peripheral vascular disease is an important reason for the death and disability. Early diagnosis, prevention, and treatment are extremely important for the life quality of patients with diabetes mellitus. Noninvasive and simple diagnostic methods greatly benefit the early screening and diagnosis. The pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and some early diagnostic methods of diabetic peripheral vascular disease are reviewed in this paper.
