Clopidogrel Versus Cilostazol on Vessels

Sponsor: Seoul National University Bundang Hospital

Summary

Diabetes is an increasing cause of atherosclerotic and cardiovascular illnesses in South Korea. The clinical application of ultrasound for measuring carotid intima-media thickness, which helps in early detection and surveillance of atherosclerosis, is advancing. Due to lifestyle changes and an aging population, Koreans, especially diabetics, are developing more vascular diseases and are at higher risk for peripheral vascular disorders. Diabetics with lower limb peripheral artery disease require effective therapy to avoid major complications and a reduced quality of life. Although licensed for symptom control, Clopidogrel and Cilostazol have not yet been established for primary prevention of cardiovascular risks. These medications will be evaluated for their potential as primary preventive agents against cardiovascular disease in type 2 diabetes patients. The goal of this research is to investigate the efficacy of Cilostazol and Clopidogrel in inhibiting the progression of carotid atherosclerosis and to evaluate their influence on hemorheological changes in individuals with Type 2 diabetes. The goal of this research is to investigate the efficacy of Cilostazol and Clopidogrel in inhibiting the progression of carotid atherosclerosis and evaluating their influence on alterations in blood flow among individuals with Type 2 diabetes.
