1. INTRODUCTION
Complications of atherosclerosis and diabetes mellitus rank among the greatest “scourges” of the aging population. In the majority of developed countries, mortality from complications of atherosclerosis occupies the 1st – the 2nd places, and mortality from complications of DM – the 3rd – the 4th places [Šulcaitė R., 2002]. One of the main risk factors for the development of atherosclerosis is diabetes mellitus (DM)[Eskelinen, E., 2003; Kozek, E., 2003; Yokoyama, H., 2003]. Clinical manifestations of atherosclerosis are ischemic heart disease (IHD), cerebral ischemia (CI), and obliterative atherosclerosis, or peripheral artery occlusive disease (PAOD). At present, diabetologists used the term diabetes lipidus, thus combining these two diseases into one.
