Aortic pain: the renaissance of cardiovascular pain and the detection of aortopathy.

abstract：:Diabetes is associated with the development of premature cardiovascular disease (CVD), which relates to the clustering of risk factors such as dyslipidaemia, hypertension, obesity and hyperglycaemia in the presence of insulin resistance. In addition, diabetes is associated with an inflammatory and pro-thrombotic envir...
