ABSTRACT. Macroangiopathy is the most important cause of mortality and morbidity in type II diabetes. The atherosclerotic process in diabetes is similar to that found in non-diabetic subjects, but the laesions are more extensive and the clinical manifestations are more common in diabetic subjects than in the non-diabetic population. In diabetic patients from different populations, the prevalence of macroangiopathy is variable, and the relative frequency follows the pattern found in the respective non-diabetic populations. The relative risk of large vessel disease is in most populations higher for female than for male diabetics. Coronary heart disease is the most important manifestation of macroangiopathy while cerebrovascular disease and peripheral vascular disease are less frequent, although all these manifestations occur at increased frequency among middle-aged diabetic subjects. The incidence of peripheral vascular disease seems to increase with increasing duration of diabetes in middle-aged subjects, whereas coronary heart disease is particularly frequent in type II diabetes already at the time of the diagnosis. Key words: atherosclerosis, complications, diabetes mellitus, macroangiopathy, mortality.

Coronary heart disease is the main cause of death in postmenopausal women (PMW); moreover its mortality exceeds those for breast cancer in women at all ages. Type II diabetes mellitus is a major cardiovascular risk factor and there is some evidence that the risk conferred by diabetes is greater in women than in men. It was established that the deficiency of endogenous estrogens promotes the atherosclerosis process. However, the impact of estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) on cardiovascular prevention remains controversial. Some authors strongly recommend it, whereas others revealed a concerning trend toward harm. This review tries to underlines the different components of cardiovascular risk in diabetic PMW and to define the place of ERT.
