Abstract
It is well known that abnormalities of the large blood vessels are common in diabetics after many years of disease (Clawson and Bell, 1949; Lundæk, 1953; Garcia et al., 1974). However, the nature of these large vessel abnormalities is not clear today. Of course diabetic patients develop atherosclerosis just as do non-diabetics. But various kinds of evidences suggest that besides atherosclerosis diabetics develop another probably specific type of large vessel abnormalities — a specific macroangiopathy.
