PAULA PINERA, Bárbara M.; DIAZ VALDES, Yanira N.; MORENO MIRAVALLES, Myrna I.  and  FERNANDEZ-BRITTO, José E.. Pathomorphometry of the coronary and iliac-femoral arteries in deceased with a history of diabetes and high blood pressure. Rev Cubana Invest Bioméd [online]. 2010, vol.29, n.2, pp. 170-177.

A study was made in 404 autopsied people in the HMC "Dr. Carlos J. Finlay" divided in four groups, Diabetics (n=116), Diabetics and Hypertensions (n=68), Low-level Atherosclerotic (n=100) and Hypertensions (n=120), with the objective of evaluating the independent impact and that in their group they exercise both factors of risk on the atherosclerosis from the coronary and ileac-femoral when comparing it among if and with the grade of affectation of these same arteries found in considered of atherosclerotic low-level. The characteristic pathomorphological and morphometric were evaluated using the atherometric system. Bigger development of the atherosclerosis was obtained when the diabetes was associated with the hypertension. The biggest quantity in variables that are presented statistical significance when comparing the classified ones as low-level atherosclerotic with the other groups, followed by the comparisons of the diabetics with the diabetics and hypertensions, being demonstrated this way the biggest impact in both factors of risk when they are associate.

Keywords : Diabetes mellitus; high blood pressure; low atherosclerotic level; atherometric system.
