P.55 Dietary Nitrate Prevents Progression of Carotid Subclinical Atherosclerosis Through BP-Independent Mechanisms in Patients with or at Risk of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Results from the Double-Blind, Randomized-Controlled, Factorial Vasera Trial

P.55 Dietary Nitrate Prevents Progression of Carotid Subclinical Atherosclerosis Through BP-Independent Mechanisms in Patients with or at Risk of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Results from the Double-Blind, Randomized-Controlled, Factorial Vasera Trial

Background: Epidemiological and animal studies suggest the potential of dietary nitrate (NO 3−) to inhibit atherogenesis. Spironolactone may improve arterial stiffness. We tested if 6 months’ intervention with dietary nitrate and spironolactone could affect carotid subclinical atherosclerosis and st...
