MORPHOLOGICAL STRUCTURE OF THE PULMONARY ARTERIES UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DIABETES MELLITUS

According to the WHO, diabetes has become more common worldwide in recent years. According to international statistics, every 10 seconds in the world 1 patient dies and 2 people fall ill. Every year, 4 million patients die from diabetes and its complications. Patients with diabetes are 2-4 times more likely to develop coronary heart disease and 6-10 times more likely to develop acute myocardial infarction than normal patients. Mortality is higher in patients with coronary heart disease who have the same type of diabetes mellitus and in those who do not have diabetes. In addition, 2/3 of diabetic patients develop such serious complications as stroke, limb gangrene, and stroke. Given the high incidence of complications that develop because of vascular changes in diabetes mellitus, the problem is relevant and has a social character. An analysis of scientific studies on vascular morphology showed that most of these works are devoted to the heart, coronary arteries, and peripheral parts of the vessels.
