Central arterial stiffness is associated with systemic inflammation among Asians with type 2 diabetes

Conclusion:
Elevated high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and decreased soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products are associated with augmentation index and pulse wave velocity, respectively, suggesting the potential role of systemic inflammation in the pathogenesis of central arterial stiffness in type 2 diabetes.
