Carotid Artery Texture and Heart Risk in Type 2 Diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study uses a neck ultrasound to look at the texture of your carotid artery (a main blood vessel in your neck) to find early signs of heart and blood vessel risk. It is for adults with type 2 diabetes who have not already had a heart attack or stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a European adult between 40 and 69 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
- You have not had a heart attack, stroke, or other cardiovascular disease.
- You do not have advanced kidney disease (kidney function below 30).
- Your medical records include blood pressure, cholesterol, smoking history, diabetes duration, and HbA1c.

This study uses a simple neck ultrasound (like the one for carotid arteries) to look for early signs of hardening or blockage in the blood vessels of people with diabetes and kidney disease. The goal is to catch heart and blood vessel problems sooner, so you can get early care.
This study uses an ultrasound to check for plaque (fatty buildup) in the neck arteries—a key risk for stroke—in people who smoke and have high blood pressure. Participants get early detection and personalized advice on preventing heart attacks and strokes.
This trial uses a low-dose CT scan of the heart’s arteries to measure coronary artery calcification in people with type 2 diabetes. It aims to better understand heart calcium buildup and may help improve risk assessment for people with diabetes.
This study looks at how blood clotting works in people with carotid artery stenosis (narrowing of the neck arteries that supply the brain). It compares people with or without symptoms and with or without type 2 diabetes, to better understand clotting and potentially improve future treatments.
This study looks at how newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes affects heart and blood vessel health. Researchers will follow patients over time to understand the relationship between diabetes and cardiovascular risk.
This study looks at an imaging test to see whether signs of new blood-vessel growth in an artery predict future stroke risk in people who have carotid artery narrowing but no symptoms. If it works, it could help doctors identify who may need closer monitoring or preventive treatment.
